Imagine crossing the threshold of a distant time, where the plant life of remote eras has been transformed into silent stone testimony, and where ancient Neolithic people have left indelible traces of their passage. This is not a simple hike, but a deep immersion in the memory of the landscape, an intimate dialogue with the history of Earth and man through the senses.

We will venture into the heart of the Petrified Forest "Carrucana," in Martis, a magical place where we will witness an amazing metamorphosis. Here, we will explore the intricate textures of stone, trying to decipher the silent stories of an ecosystem millions of years old. We will indulge in the suggestion of images and emotions of a timeless vitality.

Our journey through time will continue to discover the evocative Necropolis of "Su Murrone," in Chiaramonti: a sacred place steeped in mystery and spirituality. We will explore the ritual practices and worldview of a civilization that is the pulsating reality of this beautiful and mysterious island. We will observe our surroundings, letting ourselves be enveloped by the sense of sacredness that still emanates from this stone.

Serving as a common thread to this extraordinary experience will be the ancient Japanese practice of Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku). Through guided sensory exercises, meditations and reflections we will immerse ourselves in the rejuvenating atmosphere of the forest surrounding the sites. We will listen to the rustling of leaves, feel the scent of moist earth, and observe the play of light among the trees, rediscovering our innate connection with nature.

"The Memory of Stone" will be our mantra, an invitation to perceive how stone, in both its forms - fossilized plant and archaeological artifact - holds ancestral stories, echoes of past lives and geological transformations. Through a unique sensory approach, we aim to create a deep and personal connection with the place, going beyond mere observation to embrace a very profound emotional and intellectual experience.

The experience is suitable for everyone, even people who are not so trained. It is planned to move by one's own vehicle from the Forest to the Necropolis for a distance of about 6 km.An evocative guided exploration to awaken the senses and connect deeply with the surroundings and the "memory of stone."
