Festivals, cultural reviews, retreats, concerts, open days. The Social Promotion Association Gaya — Mondo di Unione lives on this: bringing culture, words, music and practice inside a composed landscape.
"Evenings at Gaya: the cob oven, lights among the olive trees, the sky changing colour over Sicily."
The next dates inside the Ecopark. Retreats, concerts, residential programmes, family days.

Do you teach yoga, mindfulness, writing, constellations, deep ecology, group therapies? Are you looking for a place that does half the work for you? Gaya opens its structures to those who organise residential retreats — you bring the practice, we provide the space and the logistics.
Eleven dwellings among Herb Dens, Nests in the Trees and the Seed. Capacity suited to small and medium groups.
At the centre of the place. 18 spots for yoga with mats, blocks, cushions. 50 seats in conference mode, with projector and audio system.
Zero-km vegetarian kitchen, with vegetables from the zodiacal synergic garden and Kalanè oil. Lunch + dinner packages available.
Three on-site trails for guided walks (capelvenere, beyond the hedge, hermit's waterfalls), Gaya guides on request.
What we offer in the basic package: lodging in the dwellings + exclusive use of the geodesic dome (with projector and audio system) + three vegetarian meals a day + spring water + access to the trails + shuttle service from the village. Custom packages available with Gaya guides and poetry yoga sessions with Francesco Tassone.
Capacity: minimum 10 participants, up to 18 for yoga in the dome, up to 50 seats for conferences and talks. Periods: year-round, dates by agreement. Typical duration: from weekend to 7 residential days.
Frame of reference: Gaya is an experiential learning centre of Gaya APS — Mondo di Unione. Hospitality is reserved for members of the association, within learning programmes: participants in your retreat are enrolled as members of the APS. It isn't a tourist stay — it's a residential educational experience, and that's exactly why it works.
We reply within 48 hours with availability and a custom proposal for your project.
We're a reference point for scout camps in Calabria, even in winter. Looking for a place that gives room for doing, walking, nights under the stars? Here there is land, woodland, olive trees, fire — and a structure that hosts you in self-management, without weighing on your programme.
Shared A-frame dormitory hall (up to 30 people with mats) + the six Herb Dens + the four Nests in the Trees.
For those travelling with their own sleeping bag, flat pitches among the centuries-old olive trees. Ideal for large camps.
Equipped industrial kitchen, wood-fired oven for bread and pizza, spring water, fridges. You cook, the way it's done at camp.
121 hectares of woodland, olive grove and three narrated trails for hikes, routes, patrol activities. Nature is your playground.
What we offer: dormitories and tents, equipped self-managed kitchen, bathrooms with hot water, access to the trails, bivouac fire area, chestnut poles for pioneering (rental), firewood, shuttle from the village on request. Vegetarian kitchen — it's a choice of the project, not a preference that can be modified.
Periods: from September to June, even in winter. Typical duration: from weekend to camps of 3-15 days.
We reply within 48 hours with availability.
Concerts in the zodiacal synergic garden, book launches, outdoor conferences, theatre among the bamboo canes. Every year the Ecopark opens its spaces to many different voices.
