EMANUELE ARRU

Emotional Art Journey Rome

Happy-Group-After-Visit-Ostia-Antica-Rome-Emanuele-Arru-Guide

Experiential Cycle Spring 2026 Edition

A package of 4 interconnected tours, designed as a single, continuous journey.

Spring of Change
Experiential journeys through art, relationship and awareness

Spring of Change is an experiential pathway structured in four interconnected stages, conceived as a single narrative journey: beginning, turning point, integration and closure.

Each stage offers a different experience through works of art, group activities and expressive tools, using techniques drawn from psychodrama, emotional drawing, creative writing and mindfulness practices.

The programme is designed for those who wish to experience art in an active and participatory way, exploring new perspectives on themselves and their personal stories within a cultural and relational context.

 

The experiences take place in Rome, in artistic and symbolic locations, and are guided by Emanuele Arru, professional counsellor and tour guide.

First meeting “Reignite your energy at Centrale Montemartini”

Sunday 7 March 2026 – 2:30 pm – Rome

Theme: stress, burnout, a new pact with your energy

This meeting arises from an increasingly common need to pause for a moment and refocus our relationship with our own energy.
Not to “do more”, but to understand how we are really using our strength.

The experience will unfold as a sequence of stages, moving through spaces, artworks and guided moments, gradually shifting from external noise to inner listening.
We will pass through places that speak of work, power, destiny, the body, memory and identity, allowing them to become symbolic mirrors of our everyday habits.

During the experience we will alternate short presence practices, moments of writing and emotional drawing, role-playing inspired by psychodrama, and simple group sharing.
Each proposal will be accessible, gentle and never forced: everyone may choose how much to engage.

The guiding thread will be a simple yet decisive question:
where am I functioning like a machine, and where am I ignoring my signals?

The meeting will guide participants towards greater awareness of their rhythms, the limits of the body, and the inner voices that push us to “always hold on”, leading to a final phase of integration.
Here, each person will be invited to imagine a new energetic pact, made of small, concrete, sustainable and personal changes.

This will not be a lesson, nor a therapy.
It will be a shared, human experience, designed to leave with less noise within and greater clarity about how to care for one’s energy, every day.

Second meeting:
“Draw your new direction at Hadrian's Villa”

Sunday 12 April 2026 – 2:30 pm – Rome

Theme: vision, direction, aligned choices

This meeting unfolds as a true step-by-step journey, immersed in the gardens, architecture and symbolic spaces of Villa Adriana.

The arrival will not be abrupt: we will begin with a phase of centring in movement, allowing the body to slowly attune to space, breath and perspective.

The journey invites reflection on what a full life means today, not in abstract terms, but in the concreteness of what is already present and what is asking for space.

We will move through places that speak of thought, power, balance, intimacy and vision, using them as inner landscapes.

During the experience we will alternate creative writing, listening practices, active techniques inspired by psychodrama and moments of sharing in small groups.

All proposals will always be optional, accessible and respectful of personal timing.

A central part of the journey will be dedicated to the theme of rhythm: between action and rest, drive and pause, doing and being.
From there, a space of guided imagination will open, allowing participants to look ahead without forcing, letting a possible, protected and personal vision emerge.

The journey will conclude with a phase of integration, in which each participant will be invited to identify a first concrete, simple and achievable step to bring into everyday life.
Not a grand project, but a gesture aligned with what has emerged.

The closing will take place in silence and sharing, allowing the landscape to become part of the experience, as if to inwardly fix a sense of direction.

Third meeting: “Move through change with grace at Villa Torlonia”

Sunday 10 May 2026 – 2:30 pm – Rome

Theme: transition, identity, mask and authenticity

This experience unfolds as a gradual walk through Villa Torlonia, where nature, architecture and symbols become spaces for reflecting on personal change.

Entering the park marks the beginning of a phase of slowing down and listening. The body attunes to the pace, the ground and the breath, while a first quiet question emerges: where am I today in my own process of change?

From there, the journey invites participants to observe what we show to the outside world and what remains more hidden, moving through in-between spaces shaped by transition, uncertainty and possibility.

During the experience we will alternate mindful walking, creative writing, active techniques inspired by psychodrama, and moments of emotional drawing.
The activities will be simple, accessible and never forced, designed to encourage contact, presence and personal resonance.

A central part of the journey will be dedicated to the world of symbols: images, stained glass and figures that speak a non-rational language and can offer unexpected messages, helping us read our current life moment from a different perspective.

There will also be space to explore less familiar qualities, parts of ourselves left on the margins, and desires that have been postponed.

The path will then move towards a phase of integration, accompanying each participant in recognising what they are letting go of and what, instead, asks to be carried into everyday life.

The experience will close with a shared walk, in silence and light, allowing physical movement to gently anchor a transition that has already begun within.

Fourth meeting:
“Learning to let go at the Necropolis of Banditaccia”

Sunday 21 June 2026 – 2:30 pm – Rome

Theme: letting go, closing cycles, transforming the past into roots

This journey takes place within the Necropolis of Banditaccia, a site where time layers itself and silence becomes presence.
It is not an ordinary visit, but a slow walk among tombs, tumuli and ancient paths, designed to accompany a moment of conscious release.

Entering the necropolis marks the beginning of a phase of centring and listening. The contact with the tuff stone, the measured pace and the breath help participants gradually enter a different space, one in which to reflect on what repeats itself, what has taken on rigid forms, and what today weighs more than it supports.

During the journey, we will alternate mindful walking, creative writing, active techniques inspired by psychodrama and symbolic moments of expression.
The tombs, with their architectures and carved objects, become opportunities to reflect on identity, internalised roles, ambitions and expectations that may no longer belong to us.

A central passage is dedicated to the theme of letting go, not as loss, but as a conscious choice.
The work unfolds both individually and in group settings, valuing a sense of community and mutual support, acknowledging that meaningful transitions never happen entirely alone.

The final walk guides each participant towards a symbolic threshold, where what is being released finds a form of farewell, opening space for something new and more essential.
The closing takes place in silence and shared presence, allowing the place itself to bear witness to a passage that has already begun within.

Participation options

Each experience may be attended individually, as a standalone meeting, at a cost of €40.

At the same time, the experiences are conceived as stages of a broader journey.

For this reason, participants may choose the SUBSCRIPTION option, which allows access to all four experiences as a single, coherent personal growth pathway, with continuity and consistency.

The subscription has a total cost of €150, offering a dedicated reduction compared to registering for individual meetings.

This option is intended for those who wish not only to participate, but to fully move through the journey as a whole, accompanying change step by step.
