Respiro di Norat - Nature that Regenerates

A day to rediscover your breath in Valle Maira

Respiro di Norat - Nature that Regenerates is a wellness and nature event held in Borgata Norat, a small hamlet in the municipality of Roccabruna, in the province of Cuneo (Piedmont), at the entrance to the Maira Valley. In a quiet and luminous alpine setting, the day offers a path of activities designed to reconnect body, mind, and environment, far from the daily hustle and bustle.

Between yoga, meditation, and the forest

The program alternates mindfulness practices with moments of immersion in nature. It begins with the vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, followed by sessions of yoga and dynamic meditation. In the afternoon, there is space for caviardage (a poetic writing method), laughter yoga, and a nature therapy walk in the woods, closing the day in an atmosphere of shared well-being.

The 'Borghi Ritrovati' project

The initiative was born within the Roccabruna Wellness Hub, one of the three centers of the Borghi Ritrovati project funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The project involves the municipalities of San Damiano Macra (lead partner), Roccabruna, and Cartignano, with the goal of creating a network of micro-communities where individual well-being becomes a driver for collective wellness and resilience. Roccabruna is specifically dedicated to activities related to health, self-care, and education in natural environments.

Why attend

• A free day of wellness immersed in the alpine nature of Valle Maira.
• Activities suitable for those seeking a moment of pause, from yoga to poetic writing.
• The opportunity to discover an authentic hamlet in the Cuneo area, as part of a small village regeneration project.

Roccabruna and its Borgata Norat thus become, for one day, a small outpost of widespread well-being in the Valle Maira territory.
