Crystalline Thinking Festival

From 22 to 27 July 2024, Locride will be transformed into a stage for culture and reflection with the Crystal Thought Festival, organised by the Institute of Existential Humanistic Psychology (IPUE) under the direction of Antonella Filastro. This travelling event promises to unite the beauty of the Calabrian landscape with the depth of human thought.

The festival consists of three main appointments, each in an evocative location on the crystal-clear Riviera:

23 July - Cittadella Vescovile di Gerace
Eleonora Molisani will present her book ‘Esisto anch'io’ (Psiche edizioni), in dialogue with psychotherapist Paolo Grimaldi.

25 July - Feudal Castle of Ardore
Emanuele Pattener will guide us through the pages of ‘Floridiana’ (Arkadia), in conversation with psychiatrist Lorenzo Tarsitani.

27 July - Planteria Orto Urbano di Locri
The festival ends with ‘Interruptions: the cracks of the soul’, a performance curated by Camilla Ghedini.

The Festival of Crystalline Thought is not just a cultural event, but a holistic experience that combines the beauty of the Calabrian landscape with the depth of human thought. It is a unique opportunity to reflect, learn and enjoy the extraordinary beauty of Locride.
