Location: Fondazione le Monacelle, Via Riscatto, 9/10, 75100 Matera MT, ITALY

A Celebration of the Human Spirit: At the heart of the UMANIAMO Festival lies the belief that we, as individuals and as a collective, possess the power to uplift ourselves and others through our shared strengths, virtues, and creative expressions. This festival is a testament to the potential for humanity to rise above adversity, celebrating our innate abilities to inspire, connect, and bring about positive change.

Art Innovation: Immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of artistic expressions and musical performances that transcend boundaries and speak directly to the soul. From captivating visual art exhibitions and sculptures to soul-stirring original musical compositions, the UMANIAMO Festival showcases the boundless creativity of the human spirit.

What you will experience: As soon as you step into the ancient cathedral space of Le Monacelle,  you’re no longer just a visitor; you’re a vital piece of a living canvas. The air is alive with anticipation, and the ancient stone walls await the new story we’re about to write.

With a HeartMath sensor snug on your earlobe, you join a circle of fellow participants, each of us ready to embark on a journey of connection. We start by diving into the strengths that make us who we are, celebrating the diversity of our group. It’s about recognizing and voicing the good in each other, and with every acknowledgment, the energy lifts.

As we sync into this shared vibe, our collective heartbeats become the rhythm of an unfolding symphony. Guided by the incredible talent of artist Federico Nitti, with every pulse, the HeartMath technology translates our emotional states into a kaleidoscope of video-mapped graphics that dance across the cathedral walls. These visuals are not just random patterns; they’re reflections of our joint emotional pulse, painting a picture of our social coherence in real-time.

It's as if the cathedral comes alive, its walls echoing our inner states—when we’re in harmony, the visuals swell into a beautiful crescendo; when our coherence dips, the art shifts, nudging us back towards synchrony.

And then, the music—it doesn’t just play; it transforms with us. The beats of our hearts are interwoven to create a live soundtrack that breathes and evolves with our collective emotional state. We’re not just listening; we’re feeling the music as it mirrors our inner experience, sculpted by the moment-to-moment dance of our coherence.

What we’re doing here goes beyond just a cool experience; it’s a prototype, a potential pathway to bridge divisions and nurture our shared humanity. It’s a method we hope will spread, using the harmony of heartbeats to reveal the best in us, to ourselves and each other.

By the end of the mission experience, what we’ve shared is more than just a moment. It’s an insight, a memory, and maybe even a blueprint for how we can bring out the best in communities everywhere. And it all starts with the heart—quite literally.
