Intimia was born in February 2023 from a clear and conscious choice: to be an alcohol-free holistic festival.
It was not an imposed rule, but a founding value: one of the pillars that still defines our identity today.
We love wine too, but to celebrate, not to feel.
We are proud to have been the first holistic festival in Italy to introduce, in 2025, a free psychological support, counseling and mindfulness service: the WeCare project.
A space for care and listening, created to support each participant through the emotional processes that may arise during workshops, in a moment of dance, or simply while being together, because sometimes it is the contact with others, the collective consciousness of the group, that opens something within us.
INTIMIA is an experience of transformation and collective connection.
The name itself, an acronym for Alchemy and Intimacy, holds our essence.
Alchemy is CHANGE, EVOLUTION, INNER GROWTH.
It is the process through which what we think we are transforms into who we truly are, allowing our highest potential to emerge.
It is a living, ever-evolving community, a cultural project, a place of care, a human laboratory, a hub for growth and transformation.
But all of this can exist only together.
Intimia is the result of an ongoing co-creation:
a shared process in which each person can contribute with their time, talents and uniqueness.
By offering your TIME, COMMITMENT, ENERGY, skills, and ideas.
By CONTRIBUTING practices, workshops, projects, and visions that HELP the community GROW and EVOLVE.
To bring HANDMADE PRODUCTS, TREATMENTS, CONSULTATIONS and services aligned with Intimia’s VALUES.
I’m Isa, I’m 25 years old, and my experience at Intimia Gathering was one of connection and co-creation within a Human Network that I now call Family.
The feeling is not that of attending the festival as a participant, but of co-creating together with others the synergy that is lived and shared. Music, workshops, and the various practices offered are channels through which one can dive within and discover fragments of themselves to share with others.
A wonderful encounter.
I had no expectations, only the intention to open myself and show who I truly am, with both my strength and my fragility. I sensed in many of the other participants, if not all, a similar intention: people deeply open and willing to set aside, for a moment, their defenses and masks.
Finding an environment where you feel “safe” enough to step outside your comfort zone is not something that happens every day.
INTIMIA 2024 was, for me, the ideal environment in which I could practice expressing my truth.
Intimia, an inner and outer journey,
that allowed me to recognize a space where intimacy, play, and exchange gave trust to my moment.
A place beyond the physical, a place where one recognizes oneself, forgives oneself, loves, and encounters a part of oneself reflected in others.
Intimia opened the doors to a sacred and shared dance between masculine and feminine that planted seeds in the months that followed, helping me recognize myself within this duality and polarity.
