The holistic festival of the Alte Marche between Eastern disciplines, well-being, and nature in Apecchio
Harmonious-Mind in the Mountains is the festival of Eastern and holistic arts held in Apecchio, a small Apennine village in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, in Marche. The event brings a whole weekend dedicated to personal well-being, Eastern disciplines, and mindfulness practices within the 16th-century walls of Palazzo Ubaldini, in a natural and quiet setting that is ideal for reflection and self-care.
The event stems from the experience of Beatrice Giorgi's Holistic Studio, which organized the first editions of the festival in the Fano area. With the edition set in Apecchio, Harmonious-Mind chooses the mountain dimension: the subtitle "in the Mountains" emphasizes the link between holistic practices and the Apennine environment, where clean air, forests, and the village's tranquility become an integral part of the wellness experience.
Throughout the days, numerous holistic operators will be present, offering individual treatments, readings, and consultations on a free donation or contribution basis. The program alternates between collective moments and personal proposals:
The festival venue is Palazzo Ubaldini, a Renaissance noble residence overlooking the historic center of Apecchio. The Municipality of Apecchio, known as the "First Beer City in Italy," is a destination in the Alte Marche appreciated for the landscape of Monte Nerone and its local food and wine.
The setting of the palace and the village gives the event an intimate and secluded atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of large festivals.Harmonious-Mind in the Mountains is for those seeking an opportunity to dedicate themselves to their well-being, discover Eastern disciplines and holistic practices, or simply spend a different weekend immersed in nature, wellness culture, and social interaction. Admission to the festival spaces and conferences is generally free, while treatments and group activities require a donation or contribution to support the operators.
For the 2026 edition, Harmonious-Mind in the Mountains returns to Palazzo Ubaldini in Apecchio from June 5th to 7th, starting at 5:30 PM. The event brings together numerous holistic operators who offer individual treatments and readings on a free donation or contribution basis.
The program includes group activities in the mornings with registration, conferences and educational meetings, a Gong Bath in the afternoon, and a round table discussion.
