The Project
Rediscover your nature, through the Nature of Sila.
The Palumbo Sila Experiences and the Sila Experiences App are a corporate social responsibility project shared with public and private institutions: an experiential tourism marketing project that aims to rewrite the Human-Nature relationship.
It is a network communication project that connects you with about 50 operators — restaurateurs, entertainment activities, environmental guides, holistic wellness and adventure professionals, survival instructors, adventure and astronomical parks, strictly organic and local producers at km.0 — united by the mission to discover Sila in a new light, increasingly tied to its roots.
The connection with the Earth and with Nature are the core of these experiences, which will allow everyone — this is our challenge — to reconnect with their own nature, through the Nature of Sila.
Through the proposed experiences, we aim for the well-being of the Human Being, their interpersonal relationships and with the territory, in a holistic, systemic, green and ethical perspective: on community building, on the awakening of consciousness, on critical thinking and on the child within each of us — capable of wonder, fun, love and dreaming.
«Because we are all united and part of the World, in this mysterious circle that is Life.»
