ASD Meditazioni in Movimento

Walk and meditate. Rediscover meditation, humanity, nature and the energy that binds all things, walking and finding the time to question ourselves and contemplate the infinite beauty of our Earth.

Meditations in movement is an association that has at heart the rediscovery of trekking and other activities in contact with nature as one of the main ways to immerse ourselves and re-establish the connection with nature.

We promote hiking because we are firm supporters of the fact that walking also has a strong therapeutic effect, and is therefore one of the possible natural therapies at our disposal.

Our main destination remains Puglia . Among our routes that touch the Salento , but also the Valle d'Itria and the Gargano up to the Terra delle Gravine.

Furthermore, not only Puglia is one of our destinations, but also the beautiful Pollino National Park and other routes to the neighboring Campania, Basilicata and the more distant Calabria are also planned on request.

Trekking activities are not the only ones that can make us rediscover contact with Mother Earth. For the daring and the adventurous, outdoor and surprising sports such as canyoning or the intriguing activity of caving , are other ways to get to know some hidden and enchanted places of the Puglia.

Walk with Meditation in motion!

Puglia , nature that frees itself in its pure state, where it is possible to find different natural phenomena, many of which due to the effects of karst .

Precisely this element has led to the development of several natural cavities with small water basins, ideal and sought-after sites to play a new, but already widespread sport, called canyoning, accessible to all and of which Meditation in motion has become an expert.

One of the essential components of canyoning , also known in Italy as canyoning , is the descent of gorges, whether with ropes or with climbing systems. These gorges usually have small lakes where you can dive and complete the descent.

The canyoning outings that we normally organize do not present particular difficulties , as the many gorges of Puglia that we choose have routes that can also be done on foot, suitable for those who do not want to do it with the typical techniques of this sport. In this way it can truly become a family pastime, where even the little ones can have fun together with adults . This form of aquatrekking is much loved by our most loyal supporters who are passionate about trekking and all those outdoor sports.

Meditating in motion canyoning awaits you!

Puglia , and in general southern Italy , are among the sites widely visited by non-professional speleologists , or by those who investigate, to amateur level, the cavities present in the earth and therefore all the formations of karst origin.

The enthusiasm for exploring caves has quite ancient origins and Meditation in movement proposes this type of sport, if it is possible to define it as such, to all enthusiasts.

In fact, the visits mainly concern the exploration of cavities and caves usually not touched by tourist routes , with the use of instruments suitable for horizontal progression.

Puglia is rich in these formations. From the already famous Casetellana Caves , to other amazing formations called ravines , as desired by the Lombards, which since ancient times have been a place of shelter and construction for the ancient populations, who thus exploited the natural cavities offered by these territories.

But in addition to the ravines of the Murgia , there are really many cavities that can be explored with or without water and along the Salento coast .

Together with Puglia, Basilicata and other southern regions also exhibit this phenomenon.

Speleologists, Meditation in motion awaits you!

Meditation in Movement, looking at trekking as an activity with a strong therapeutic value, has organized paths and trails to be followed with authorized guides who are experts in the environmental sector not only in Puglia, but also in other regions of the South.

We list some of them:

• The salt roads . A journey to follow these roads that lead to the sea and reach the Cipolliane Caves, located in Salento.
• Spunnulate di Torre Castiglione . These beautiful karst formations, located in Salento and so called from the dialect verb spunnare, also have a particular and typical Mediterranean vegetation around them.
• Salina dei Monaci . A truly unique place, where you can see flamingos and the dunes close to the sea.
• The hills of Ostuni , an encounter with the ancient Mother, found during excavations in the archaeological park called Santa Maria D'Agnano. This woman even belonging to the Paleolithic age was also renamed Delia or Ostuni1.
• Apulian rock civilization . The crypt of San Biagio is perhaps one of the most important finds of this civilization. After this visit the excursion will continue in the marine reserve located in Torre Guaceto, where we can take a break and eat.
• Serra di Poggiardo . Place rich in evidence of the ancient Messapian Apulian culture, with the remains of the megalithic walls. Here you will find the Santi Stefani Crypt, which however has taken on different functions over the years and not far away are some examples of the bauxite quarries, with a red color that distinguishes some parts of the Salento landscape.

These are just small samples of those that you can find in more detail by visiting the web page. These excursions range from being daily to even lasting a weekend. Other features are itinerancy or other facilitated trekking methods.
