Reiki
  • Reiki is a method of stress reduction and  deep relaxation that
    improves the body’s natural capacity to heal itself. It is thought that
    Reiki was first used in Tibet more that 2,000 years ago; it was
    rediscovered in the 19th Century by Dr. Mikao Usui. There are two
    types of Reiki, Usui and Karuna Reiki®;
Reiki courses as well as private Reiki treatment sessions  are available.

Reiki energy is of a spiritual nature; Reiki is not a religion. Reiki is a gift that
we can give ourselves and share with others. It is a delicate, loving and
powerful energy that can help on our life path and satisfy our desire for our  
continuous mental and spiritual growth.

What will I learn in the Reiki classes?
The ability to learn how to give Reiki treatments to yourself and others will
be passed on to  you from a teacher, known as a Reiki Master, through a
process called “atttunement”.  

Usui Reiki
There are three levels of Usui Reiki training:  in the First Level your energy
channels will be opened through Reiki attunements and you  will learn to
give hands-on Reiki treatments to yourself and others.

In
Second Level training, you will learn special techniques for enhancing
the level of energy that you are transmitting as well as how to flow Reiki
energy to improve life’s circumstances.

The
Third Level is known as Master Training. Students who become Usui
Reiki Masters are qualified to teach Reiki to others.

Karuna Reiki®
Karuna Reiki® is an advanced form of Reiki that requires the student to
first have training and experience in Usui Reiki. The word "Karuna" means
"compassionate action" in Sanscrit.  Adriano and Judith Rosso are
honored to be the official representatives of Karuna Reiki® in Italy for the
International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) of William Lee Rand in the
USA. You can learn more about the ICRT at
www.reiki.org; if you speak
Italian, click "Karuna", then "Outside USA", then "Italia".

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
Judith Rivera Rosso, Certified EFT Practitioner, EFT-CC, Adv;
EFT Counselor and Teacher

See Judy's EFT web site in English and Italian: www.eftitalia.com

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a highly successful  method of eliminating
pain, disease and emotional problems, was introduced to the world of natural
healing in 1995 by Stanford Engineer, Gary Craig.  Since then, its natural
techniques are being successfully applied in many different countries, helping
thousands. With EFT, negative energy is unblocked using acupressure points of
the body’s energy channels, without needles! There seems to be no limit to the
problems that can be resolved with EFT; for example, if you are a smoker who
honestly wants to stop smoking, contact Judy to schedule an appointment. For
more information about EFT, you can see a very interesting web site, in English, at
www.eftuniverse.com
On request, we can organize nearby appointments in
ayurvedic massage,
shiro dhara oil therapy, shiatsu and craniosacral therapy.
The Conference Room
The old hayloft (fienile) has been beautifully restored to
create the Conference Room.  It is a spacious, open and
naturally lit space
of 60 square meters designed to
accommodate the courses taught at the Cascina which are
described for you in the section, "Courses & Activities".

This facility, as well as the surrounding terraced grounds, is also available for rent
to teachers in  meditation, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, biodanza, crystal therapy and other
such spiritual and natural classes and workshops.

Cascina Rosso is also an excellent location for seminars, meetings or corporate
gatherings which are enhanced by the surrounding silence, pure air, twelve
hectares of land and the beauty of the vast panoramas enjoyed through the six
large windows of the Conference Room.

We can help you to coordinate your Corporate Training seminars. Start your day
with a nutritious breakfast, followed by your training class. Then enjoy lunch in a
typical restaurant in a nearby village. The rest of the day is available to continue your
relaxing vacation.

Just what you need to restore your soul!

“ Without silence, there is no peace for the soul.”
--Gordon Hempton, Acoustic Ecologist & Botanist
