What you can expect

  • The activity begins with a visit to a house museum, where the daily life of a woman who, in popular tradition, was branded as a coga is depicted. Here we will discover the legend compared with reality, immersing ourselves in the stories and beliefs of Sardinia in the past.

    We will continue with a journey through myths, rituals, and traditions related to nature. In an evocative corner, set up with symbolic and natural elements, participants will be able to touch local wild herbs and learn to recognise their properties and meanings.

    Guided step by step, we will make a handcrafted amulet together, using the collected and dried herbs. During the workshop, we will explore the symbolic role of each element and the importance of the ritual gesture, creating a unique object that combines craftsmanship, history, and tradition.

    Finally, the experience will end with a moment of sharing around the fire (or in a cosy space in case of bad weather), where you can reflect on the experience, enjoy a herbal tea made with local herbs, and take the amulet you made with you as a souvenir.
