Oasi di Scacco & Hope (ITA-47)
|
Brief description and main aims
The association recovers horses in critical situations and brings them back to a natural state, free to live in herds and with the right attitude to work with man. Within the organization, we look for a green and sustainable way of working with nature through our organic vegetable garden, the search for medicinal herbs, the work with farm animals and meditation practices. We have a riding school characterized by a relational methodology, based on the mutual respect between the human being and the animal.
Over time, Oasi has become a welcoming center not only for animals but also for the local community, whose residents can attend workshops of various kinds, such as music workshops, soap-making workshops, but also organize theme nights and social dinners. The community can also use the library (built with waste materials). Since mid 2019 Oasi Scacco has included within its ongoing activities a new project that aims to establish a music and circus art school for locals. |
