St. John’s night is celebrated in Italy from 23

St. John’s night is celebrated in Italy from 23 to 24 June. St. John is linked to the collection of herbs such as hypericum, known as St. John's wort, which has extraordinary curative properties. It is also known as the “night of the witches”, in prolongation of the summer solstice rites related to rebirth, harvest and fertility. The wise women – or “witches” – are women who cure physical and emotional ills with medicinal plants. In herbal medicine and phytotherapy it is considered the best time of the year for collect healing herbs.

To celebrate San Giovanni collect a variety of flowers and herbs and put them in a bowl of water (preferably rainwater but filtered water will do) and leave it out exposed to the moon and the morning dew during the night from 23-24 June. In the morning, wash your face and hands or your whole body with this water and you will age wonderfully. Or else, make a small bouquet of flowers and herbs and keep it somewhere in your house for good fortune. If possible, include St. John’s wort, to keep away dark thoughts and low spirits.

May you flourish and bloom and may your days be filled with serenity and joy!

P.S. If you know of any other St. John’s rituals, please share them with us!

Whispers Across Horizons by artist @neda_saeedi at Podere Trafonti on this gorgeous June day. Neda has opened the blind wall to the garden and the sky. The colors, lights and shadows play with the mirrors in a myriad of ways to entice the eye and lift the spirits. We love living with this installation!

A peablossom, a butterfly and a spider met in the vegetable garden one spring morning. "Feed me!" the butterfly asked. "Drink my nectar!" the blossom offered. "I want some!" cried the spider. They had a pollen-nectar party and got giddy with delight!

Le livre de notre première artiste résidente ser

Le livre de notre première artiste résidente sera présenté à Genève le 18 juin à 18h30.
Vous êtes les bienvenu.e.s!

Le @centredartcontemporaingeneve et la @wildegallery accueilleront conjointement une projection et performance publique unique de l'artiste danoise Marie Kølbæk Iversen, ainsi que le lancement de son ouvrage, "Histories of Predation".

La représentation sera suivie d’une verrée et d’une séance de dédicace à la galerie Wilde.

"Histories of Predation" (Mousse Publishing, 2024) traite de la pensée mythique active et des récits scientifique, de l’effroi, du traumatisme et des potentiels de transformation. Il retrace, à partir des oeuvres et des recherches de Marie Kølbæk Iversen, des formes de ré-imagination critique de la subjectivité et de l’histoire culturelle. Interrogeant l’homogénéisation démographique et esthétique de l’État-nation et l’oubli forcé des identités divergentes qui en a résulté, le livre offre une vision en profondeur des processus de construction nationale en sondant les "mythologies" géopolitiques sur lesquelles ils s’articulent.

Le bonjour de notre Toscane printanière! Le mois

Le bonjour de notre Toscane printanière!
Le mois de juin est un des meilleurs moments pour une escapade italienne: la lumière est douce, les journées se prolongent, les températures sont (encore) clémentes et la nature regorge de vitalité.
Du 5-9 juin 2024, echappez-vous pour vous retrouver au calme et dans la sérénité de notre ferme biologique, bercés par le chant des oiseaux et le bourdonnement des abeilles au milieu des jardins et champs en fleurs.
Et avec un corps et un esprit en paix, à l'écoute de l'énergie en vous et de celle qui vous entoure, coulez dans une pratique de yoga qui vous éveillera et vous fortifiera.
Avec @olivia_tuscher de @soham_yogastudio

Last Saturday, we inaugurated the wonderful art installation by Neda Saeedi, “Whispers Across Horizons”. Magically now the once starkly blind North facade has windows and doors, views and lights, with ever-changing colours. There is the outline of a palace and the reflection of a garden. A poetic welcome to all our guests.
