The Lima Valley with Andrea Mori: 8th – 23rd July

Last year I spent 22 days walking with the TESSERE IL VALICO project in the Lima Valley. I saw chestnut trees so impressive that they seemed to hold up the sky, dense woodland and bubbling streams. I listened to local people who shared their histories and the history of their home with me., the history of the places I was passing through. This area made a huge impression on me, for its silence, its trees and its colours.

A 2 day, easy-going excursion taking in the woodland, pasture, mountains and villages of the Lima Valley. We’ll aim to enjoy every moment of the experience, rather than to reach the arrival point as quickly as possible!

We’ll pause regularly to create a new sense of time at nature’s pace, listening, contemplating, and learning from the silence. In the evening we’ll eat what’s available from the land, during the night we’ll be watched over by the trees and the stars.

The day after we’ll restart our walk, after a simple breakfast made from nature’s ingredients, crossing beech and chestnut forests and letting ourselves be led through the beauty of the natural surroundings.
