When you need time to rewind, to create or. Just Be!

FEEL WELCOME

With your feet in the earth and your head in the clouds.

Amanda moved to Tereglio from the Netherlands in July 2021 with her two dachshunds (Max and Sjaak). A historic magical village, a quiet isolated place on top of a mountain, surrounded by forests and with a pristine (unpolluted) landscape (environment) and everywhere you look you have an impressive view. A historic place in nature where you feel welcome. ‘Build a bigger table, not a higher fence’! Tereglio is located in the Apuan Alps in Tuscany, just forty minutes from Lucca and sixty minutes from the beach. An ultimate paradise!!!

Who am I?

With 36 years in performing arts and 16 years as a neurological movement therapist, I passionately connect people and practice various disciplines.

What do I want to mean?

I make my Apuan Mountain Top available because, from human pure intention, I would rather build a “bigger table” than a “higher wall.

For whom.

The most perfect and inspiring place for musicians, producers, writers and visual artists to create undisturbed is right here on this mountaintop!

In the borrowed time of future generations, a collective inward movement is emerging where self-love, self-worth and self-care are at the core. From this inner journey comes true connection and growth. My mission is to create a safe and trusting environment for both children and adults, where love is guiding and a legacy of fire in the heart and strength in the body is embraced.
