THE EMOTIONAL
MAP OF
THE RIVER
OF LIFE, THE
SERCHIO RIVER
The first Philosophical Journey connected to the project THE RIVER OF LIFE was held in Garfagnana in September 2016. People from the 5 Continents joined that journey. .
In 2017 we are going back to this beautiful Valley - in beetwen the Alpi Apuane and the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano -
with the same will of discovering and to be surprised. .
We will cover the 6 stages (Earth, Roots, Emotions, Life, Philosophy and Freedom) of the journey referred in the book
THE RIVER OF LIFE. Journey through the Geography o f Emotions, by the writer Marco Bertagni, who will drive us in real geographies – selected in the ancestral and pristine
Garfagnana territory – evokating
different moods and thus putting us in direct and profound
connection with our lives and with our dreams.
In this fourth Philosophical Journey the formula of
integrated coaching will be introduced. THE
RIVER OF LIFE became an international platform of friends, professionals and artists who drive their talented contributions into the riverbed of Emotions by creating a sort
of Collective River of Life, flowing towards the Sea of Freedom, Happiness and Respect
Here are the experiences that we are going to live during the next Philosophical Journey in Garfagnana…
