Mindfulness at the Garden of Pojega: a summer to nurture body and soul
Yoga, meditation and mindfulness in the green setting of the Garden of Pojega
After the success of the Garden Therapeutic Days, the Garden of Pojega is preparing for a new series of events dedicated to inner well-being and self-discovery. This is no ordinary garden: for centuries, the Garden of Pojega has been a place that “heals the soul,” where nature, history and beauty intertwine to create a unique space for peace and personal renewal.
Here, among shaded paths, “green rooms” and glimpses that invite tranquillity, even on the hottest summer days you can enjoy coolness and relief, surrounded by ancient trees and lush hedges.
In this corner of Valpolicella steeped in art and silence, the summer 2025 proposal comes to life: three special events dedicated to mindfulness, yoga and sound meditation, open both to those already familiar with holistic practices and to those wishing to approach them for the first time.
The sessions will take place in the heart of the Garden of Pojega, among hornbeam avenues, green grottos and breathtaking views, according to the following schedule:
Sunday 20 July | 9:00 – 10:30 → Harmonic Circle
Saturday 26 July | 9:00 – 10:30 → Vibrations of Energy – yoga and sound
Sunday 3 August | 9:00 – 10:30 → Meditation and Energy Recharge
