Maxo
ACSI (Associazione di Cultura Sport e Tempo Libero) certified Masseur, I grew up in the nature, witnessing all sort of traditions about respecting our land; catching the signals; taking care of the fields; preserving all sort of fruit, vegetables and greenery and finding them in the steep and spiny hills of this corner of paradise.
All the stories, the saying and the spells about a fecund harvest; the recipes, the right times with the right people for the best laugh and genuine taste, after a hard but smart work.
This has been my attitude for my whole life: listening, observing with my child eyes with surprise and wonder, making all sensations settle into my veins and being curious about everything: music and arts, photography, engineering, cooking, dancing, sailing, farming, fishing, wellness, meditating the magnificence in people souls, in old people’ s hearts and gestures, in cultures. And I’ve made my best in sharing and filling all the “winkles” I could with my attitude while living in London, in Lisbon, in Nice and in several cities in Italy.
Now it’s time to be back at my roots’ place, inviting you to absorb the energy, the calm, the beauty of my modest personal heritage in such a rich territory.
Upcoming Programs by Maxo
Eyes wide open - focus to beauty
Eyes Wide Open "Looking is already a creative act. This week reminds you how." For those who have a story to tell and don't know where to start. Or for those who once knew, and have forgotten. Writing, drawing, photography — not as techniques to learn, but as ways of being present in a place. […]
Sea & Silence — A Digital Detox Retreat on the Calabrian Coast
Sea & Silence "When the body slows down, the mind finally speaks." For those who have reached their limit and need a place where nothing happens — at its best meaning. The sea, the silence of the Calabrian countryside, massages, a cooking workshop as a meditative moment. No mandatory programme: just a beautiful frame to […]
Living Culture — History, Food & Wellness in Southern Italy
Living Culture "Calabria is not a place you visit. It's a place you inhabit, even for just a week." For those who love to understand places deeply — history, people, food as a cultural document. Guided visits within 30 km (no summer traffic, everything reachable at a calm pace), cooking workshops as an anthropological act, […]
Roots & Flavours — A Slow Living Retreat in Calabria
Roots & Flavours "Learning with your hands what the land has always known." A week devoted to food as a cultural and spiritual act. Hand-made pasta, pizza from the wood-fired oven, seasonal preserves — not as a class, but as a shared ritual, slow, full of conversation and scent. The programme is a guide, not […]
