Becoming A Tree

Everything begins with a dream.

Like a seed tucked into the womb of the earth, it is cradled and loved, only to die to itself and reborn: flower, tree, project. And so, this story begins, from a dreamy sprout, from the courage to believe once again in the interconnection that sees man and environment joined in an ancestral breath.

In having faith in what lies beneath, in what is not yet manifest but communicates with the whole. Sara and Stefano believe in this connection, hidden from the eyes of many, and in it, they establish the roots of their project.

A wild and uncontaminated forest stretches around the small house in which they live and are autonomously renovating. A den, a refuge from the excesses of society, where every need is downsized, where the visible and the invisible walk side by side, as only nature can teach. In this place, psychological evolution and physical well-being merge with the care and growth of chestnut trees, the flow of water in the soil, and the warmth of the sun as an ecological source of energy. The climate and seasons condition the human spirit and constantly transform it, shaping it to survive and thrive in an extremely wild context.

Just as that seed needs a safe and welcoming hiding place to come into the world, the protagonists recall how shadow and light, the concealed and the visible, are two sides of the same coin; without one, the other would not exist.

No soil is more fertile than that of dreams and the unconscious to sow the seeds of new ways of living because life is born in darkness, not in light.
