PACHACANTA Festival 9/12 June 2026 - Promotion tickets available -

Curanderia

Healing Area and Workshops

Curanderia

The "Curandería" project began as a working group dedicated to disciplines focused on the care of people and Nature. Over the years, we have shared ideas and knowledge, built relationships, and participated in various projects, events, and festivals, including Imaginaria and previous editions of the Medicine Music Festival.

In this edition of Pachacanta, the festival's healing area is organized by Curandería. However, only a limited number of our members will be present, working alongside other practitioners to provide a comprehensive experience.

We are delighted to contribute to this event by bringing our dedication to healing disciplines and creating a space where care for people and Nature can be explored and shared. While our physical presence will be limited, our energy and commitment will extend through collaboration with other practitioners.

Welcome to the healing area of Pachacanta, a place where genuine care blends with ancient practices in an atmosphere of peaceful sharing.

Activities

An Area for emotional support, care, and closeness

Throughout the festival, a space of deep listening will always be open and available to each one of us: a true medicine for the heart.

When speaking of care, we don't mean only  medicines and therapies, but also  empathy, listening, and closeness.
Emotional support is a way to offer all of this to others, helping them feel less lonely and alone in facing their emotions and inner processes, without being judgmental and with absolute discretion.

This space within a music medicine festival has been imagined and created with this spirit in mind. We are happy to offer you a human experience in a warm and friendly environment, where you can always feel welcomed, heard, and supported.

Acroyoga lab

Are you ready to play with balance, trust, lightness, and depth?

Acroyoga is much more than a circus discipline: it's a practice of deep connection, authentic communication, and emotional exploration.

A dialogue between bodies that support each other, explore, and have fun together.

A journey toward oneself and the other, grounded in respect and care.

Through partner and group practices, we'll enter in a curious and evolving world of connections.

Dani Barba
Guides people to (re)discover presence, energy, and vitality through the Art of Breath, Cold Therapy, Seed Retention, and movement.
He plays music and allows himself to be played, surrendering to the energy of the group and to the rhythm that accompanies and supports the shared field.

Canto Medicina del Cuore

A workshop to connect with ourselves through our voice, opening up to the possibility of expressing and radiating much more than a melody.

We'll begin with a guided vocal meditation, opening ourselves to vibration chakra by chakra, and then we will chant together simple mantras and medicine songs.

Our journey weaves together ancient wisdom and contemporary spiritual practice, creating immersive experiences that honor the transformative power of sound and rhythm.

Munay Runa
A family and musical group founded in Peru in 2006, where music serves as a bridge between worlds, a vessel for healing, and a path toward the expansion of consciousness.

Danze di Pace Universale

Dances of Universal Peace are prayers in movement.

Sacred chants from the world’s traditions — Sufi, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Native — woven together with simple gestures and steps that anyone can dance. No dance experience is needed, only a living body and a curious heart.

We sing, walk together, listen to the rhythm of the group, and something slowly realigns and harmonizes within the spirit of unity. Gently, yet deeply.

Satya & Silvia
For years they have been facilitating groups with love, study, and a generous touch of poetry and lightness.
The practice they offer was born in the 1960s through Samuel Lewis (Sufi Sam), a rebellious and visionary mystic who dreamed of a world where religions would hold hands instead of waging war against one another.

Colour Traces BodyArt

An experiential journey through color and element, expression, gesture, movement, connection, and nature.

Guided by music and a leading voice, we immerse ourselves in a flow of gestures and movements where color becomes the expression of emotions and sensations arising from the connection with the surrounding natural environment and with others.

An ecstatic dance that will give life to an environmental artwork, through the interaction of one’s body with those of others, creating a vortex of harmonious movements that will take shape as traces of color impressed onto a large canvas laid on the ground.

Tiziano Ronchi
Artist, architect, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, holistic practitioner, group facilitator, traveler, and explorer of Nature.
He traces his daily life through art, walking, travel, direct experience, and deep connection with Mother Nature and with other human beings.

Il canto degli armonici

An immersion to discover, deepen, and practice an ancient vocal technique used to produce healing sounds and vibrations.

I will joyfully guide you in easily learning two powerful techniques that allow you to create astonishing sounds offering profound psychophysical benefits.

Sergio Quagliarella
Neapolitan with half a Celtic heart;

A tireless and curious researcher of the world’s musical traditions and native cultures, and of everything that can be felt but not seen.

Il corpo del sogno

A ritual practice of Biotransenergetics in which the body becomes a ritual space, a threshold between the visible and the invisible.

Through sequences of symbolic movement, breath, vocalization, and inner imagery, we will enter into dialogue with deep archetypal forces, awakening latent qualities and forgotten resources.

The Dream Body is a psycho-corporeal practice that unites gesture, mantra, and vision within a state of vivid and unifying presence.

Movement becomes an embodied prayer, sound opens inner spaces, and the archetype becomes direct experience, allowing the integration of emotions, energy, and consciousness, while reconnecting with one’s authentic potential.

Greta Sammartano & Andrea Samar Molinari
Transpersonal psychologists and psychotherapists who work with an approach grounded in an integral vision of the human being, understood as a complex system composed of physical, emotional, and mental dimensions, as well as energetic and transpersonal levels.

Il linguaggio del corpo

A workshop dedicated to the language of the body as a tool for self-discovery. We will embark on a journey where sensations and emotions can be released through deep listening, between breath, movement, dance, and subtle yoga.

Music will be our guide through the five senses of perception, helping us explore our personal boundaries and enter into conscious connection with others.

Alice Giliberti
Yoga, acroyoga, and Thai Yoga Massage teacher with over ten years of experience.
She has followed a training path in Italy and abroad, practicing with different teachers, and for years has participated in festivals and events on an international level.

L'alchimia del suono

Tuning into the One: a transformative experience that begins with centering through listening, breath, and connection. Like living instruments, we will learn to tune into the collective field through loop games, scat, and choral improvisations.

By integrating free movement, body percussion, and the vibration of chanting, we will transform the body into rhythm and the voice into medicine, moving beyond all boundaries of personal judgment.

The activity has a strong cathartic impact, as it works on releasing expressive blockages and rediscovering one’s sonic potential.

EliBi is a singer-songwriter and a Voice, Body & Breath facilitator.

Bagno di gong

The gong bath experience as an opportunity for deep reconnection, to understand — through the ancient sound of planetary gongs — the uniqueness and preciousness of reconnecting with the deepest part of oneself, while enjoying the benefits of vibration in all its power.

After an introduction and brief theoretical insights into the practice of the gong bath, we will move into the actual experience, concluding with a sound intention practice.

Alessio & Marco
Holistic practitioners and music therapists registered with SIAF, with specialized training in planetary gongs and sound-vibrational practices.
In 2022 they founded the project Il Terzo Suono, through which they offer group planetary gong baths throughout Italy.

mik

Mikusa no Mitakara

The easy path, the joyful path, the wild path — passed down from the times when the Great Spirit walked the Earth, when everything was one: dance, medicine, music, song, theater, massage, and poetry.

Re-awakening the heart, the animal movement, and the directional force of the mind, to access and reignite our ecstatic nature and bring to life the dreams held in the heart — for ourselves and for a better world.

A practice that is as powerful as it is simple, and profoundly transformative for well-being. Words cannot describe it until it is experienced. After a circle of TaMaChi, it feels like being reborn from the source.

Alessandro PiumanSattva
A wondrous weave of consciousness, life, and stories — a unique and unrepeatable miracle, like every human being who has received the gift of existence from the Great Mystery.
A facilitator of awakening, awareness, and transformation, an artisan of the self, and a guardian of the tremor of life.

Open to the day with Joy

A morning workshop of yoga composed of three practices that support one another:

Mindful breath, to awaken prana and find centering.

Dynamic and gentle yoga to open and stretch the body.

Shakti Dance: the yoga of dance, allowing energy to flow freely, creatively, and joyfully — where movement arises from breath and sensation, guided by inner rhythm.

The intention is simple: to open the body, release tension, and stretch every fiber of our being, so we can begin the day not in a rush, but with fullness, grounding, and connection.

Amulya Lea
With twenty years of experience in yoga practice and Shakti Dance, she invites us to begin the day in the most sacred way she knows: in full connection with ourselves and from the center of our heart.

Pizzica pizzica: il ritmo che cura

A journey through roots, body, and community, exploring the folk dances of Southern Italy, their ancestral origins, and their ritual and spiritual value, as living maps of our cultural memory.

Through movement, rhythm, and bodily awareness, we rediscover the individual body and, at the same time, the body as part of a collective. Dance becomes relationship: in pairs, in circles, in shared space, where gesture meets the other and transforms into a common language.

A path that reconnects us to the music and culture of our origins, and then naturally opens to exchange with other traditions and cultures, in a living dialogue between identity and encounter, in search of our own music-medicine.

Alessia Cattaneo
Her formative roots lie in pedagogy and social education, but they grow within a deep passion for folk music and traditions.
She is deeply in love with Southern Italy and with all lands where ritual is not museum memory, but a living practice and an ancestral tool to create, nurture, and preserve community.

Viaggio di yoga

A workshop to experience yoga as a true inner journey. For those who wish to go beyond physical practice and come into contact with the subtler dimensions of yoga. Through pranayama, kriya, asana, and mantra, we will explore the body, the breath, and prana (energy, life force) flowing within us, in order to harmonize mind and heart, open inner spaces, and rediscover an authentic connection with ourselves and with what surrounds us.

A practice that is intense yet accessible to all, gently guiding step by step toward presence, openness, and inner light.

Valeria Pampaloni
Yoga teacher with over 500 hours of training in Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa with Anukalana approach, pranayama, kriya kundalini, and Himalayan meditation.
Her mission is to create spaces of listening and presence where one can increasingly surrender to feeling and to the flow of life, to the connection with nature, plants, the moon, and the energies that surround us.

Voxis mundi

The voice as a creative act: an experiential ritual dedicated to the voice as medicine and as a generative gesture.

In this workshop we explore the point where thought, intention, and breath become sound. The voice is not born only in the throat: it arises in the womb of consciousness, travels through the body, and takes shape as a creative vibration.

We will work on the connection between womb, heart, and voice, awakening sound as an act of manifestation of one’s inner reality. Singing, frequencies, and vocalizations become tools for presence, grounding, and transformation.

Messalina

La voz latente

La voz latente is a voice workshop that will accompany us on a journey guided by the wisdom of the five elements and their expression within our being. Through vocal exercises, we will cultivate our inner sound, deepening the connection with the body and emotions and opening a clear channel for the expression of our most authentic self. By welcoming our wounds and traumas, we will transmute blocks and stagnant emotions, transforming and reprogramming patterns from the past.

It is an opportunity to experience the healing power of our own voice.

Ima Nazca
A music medicine project by Claudia Contreras, an artist born in Spain and based in Mexico, whose artistic path unites different continents and cultures.

Cura sonora

An experiential, playful, and ritual collective experience of authentic musical and vocal expression.
Through ritual practices, we will awaken living breath, voice, the sounding body, and creativity.
The intention is to liberate authentic individual sonic expression and harmonize it within the collective, giving life to a shared musical mandala.

There will be moments of meditative and relaxing connection with sound baths and sound healing, in a transformative experience that unites personal depth and group connection.

Unity Gathering

A journey of encounter between feminine and masculine, inner and outer.

An immersive experience to rediscover the unity that lives within us and expands into community.

A step-by-step path that begins with meeting oneself and leads to the embrace of the tribe. Through a harmonious combination of yoga, conscious breathing, dance, and evocative sounds, we will explore the different layers of unity: with the self, the divine, the couple, the clan, and the tribe.

Unity Gathering is a gathering dedicated to care and mutual support, to help seeds of love and peace flourish in a new radiant humanity.

An experience of total immersion in sound, conceived as a deep reset of the nervous system. In this space, participants are invited to completely disconnect from the outside world and surrender to the vibrations of ancestral instruments and Tibetan singing bowls.

It is a meditative journey that supports emotional release and regenerative rest, bringing the body into a state of deep calm and harmony.

Sing Along

There is something magical that happens when we unite our voices in a simple spirit of unity, joy, and friendship. This workshop is an invitation to connect through music, learn together, and experience the beauty of circle singing.

We will explore harmonies, rhythm, and vocal dynamics, creating a shared musical journey in which every voice is welcome. No experience is required — only the willingness to participate and have fun.

Pulso primordiale: grembo creatore

The workshop weaves together the wisdom of the Creative Void and the Menstrual Therapy Circle, giving life to an intimate and protected space where each woman can freely express herself, explore her cyclical nature, reconnect with her essence, and with the wisdom of her creative womb and her own blood.

The Creative Void refers to the primordial impulse from which all creation arises: a fertile space in which what is full dissolves to make room for the new. To inhabit the void means to open, to welcome space, and to allow life to take shape from within, rediscovering authenticity, femininity, and the natural power of self-healing.

Art, breath, and authentic communication: an experiential workshop open to both women and men, dedicated to communication through the body. Through diaphragmatic breathing, conscious movement, respectful tantric listening, and guided relational practices, we will explore the connection between reproductive organs, creativity, and authentic communication.

Impronte di nascita, percorsi di vita

The earliest moments of our life leave deep traces: in the body, in our relationships, and in the way we feel in the world.

What happens when, at birth, contact is missing? How much of what we experience today has its roots in our very first moments of life? Is it possible that some emotional or relational difficulties begin right there?

In this workshop we will explore these questions in an experiential way, through the body, listening, and guided moments.
