Impasti

Siamo state selezionate dal Festival L'Eredità delle Donne con un format di Impasti a tema #empowerment femminile! È stata l'occasione perfetta per dare sfogo allo slogan "Vogliamo il pane, ma vogliamo anche le rose!" che mi frullava in testa da più di un anno. 🍞 🌹 L'unione di questi due simboli è potentissima e ha accompagnato molte lotte storiche. Il #pane rappresenta, nella sua essenzialità, i diritti fondamentali. Le #rose invece rappresentano l'effimero, la bellezza. Insieme formano una vita piena. È un'espressione che viene riportata anche nel Vangelo: non di solo pane vive l'uomo. Insomma, questo slogan ci ha dato l'ispirazione per un nuovo workshop dove riunirsi per fare il pane insieme e riflettere, con delle attività guidate, su cosa questi simboli rappresentino al giorno d'oggi. È stato nutriente, grazie a tutti! ❤️ 🙏 PS: È passata anche Serena Dandini, fra le mille cose anche Direttrice Artistica del Festival #ereditàdelledonne, a farci i complimenti!

🌲Il tuo team ha bisogno di #vicinanza in questo periodo dell'anno. L’anno solare sta per concludersi, l’inverno per iniziare, le giornate sono più buie e fredde. Da sempre l’umanità ha sentito la necessità in questo periodo di raccogliersi, per scongiurare le tenebre insieme. Seppur in un’epoca moderna, più distaccata dalle stagioni e dalla natura, questo istinto fa parte di noi. Il bisogno di vicinanza e #connessione rimane. E noi di Impasti, crediamo che sia importante celebrare questo momento speciale dell'anno con una pratica simbolica: fare il pane tutti insieme🕯️🍂 Scoprirete che il #pane è un simbolo, un’analogia del lavoro di gruppo, un gesto collettivo, una foriera di ricordi, un esercizio di collaborazione, e un risveglio sensoriale. Nei nostri #workshop fare il pane è lo strumento per creare connessione fra le persone. E pensiamo che sia il modo migliore per chiudere un ciclo e aprirne un altro! 🌲 Contattaci se vuoi che organizziamo un’attività di fine anno per la tua azienda!🌲 #teamexperience #teambonding #teamtrusting #teambuilding #teamcelebration #natale #fineanno #firenze #milano

It took me a bit to process the magic that happened at the #StayHuman Festival last week, at mare culturale urbano. You could feel a strong connection, among people, bodies and nature. Beautiful, open-hearted people showed up to investigate #embodiment practices. From breathwork to bread-making, we dove deep into ways of re-connecting body and mind. 🧘♀️ It was the first time that Impasti was invited to a Festival! It was such a pleasure to be recognized as a practice that enhances #connection and I was so happy to see the satisfaction in people's eyes! We invited the participants, as they came and went between events, to contribute with their hands to a #collective #bread. We’d wondered what a bread kneaded by so many hands might taste like—now we know. It holds the flavour of shared moments, a bit of beautiful chaos, the rain, laughter, dedication, helping hands, and woven stories. Everyone left their mark, with both their hands and their words. 🙏 Thanks D.em.a (Discipline of embodied attention) When’s the next one? 😊 What about you? What do you do to reconnect?

On my way to Milan where I will bring Impasti to the #StayHuman Festival! More than 50 people will bake the same bread, joining a collective baking process. The Festival is the first event in Italy about embodiment: those practices that help us reconnecting with our body. So excited to see how bread can create connections among participants and our bodies! You can join us on sat 19th afternoon, at mare culturale urbano 🫶 #Festival #Festivalworkshop #CollectiveWorkshop #BreadBaking #BuildingConnection #Connections

As you can tell from the picture, we got quite excited during the workshop "Bread and Transformation"! 🧨 It was an online webinar where we baked bread together and reflected on the concept of transformation. Through writing activities, we explored how we want to grow and develop as individuals. It was very moving to hear everyone's thoughts during the workshop and to see the beautiful loaves they created! Thanks, I'm feeling very grateful and happy. #OnlineWorkshop #Bread #Workshop #BreadMetaphor #GetTogether #SelfReflection #Transformation #SelfDevelopment #ExperienceDesign

📣ANNUNCIO DI UN WORKSHOP ONLINE📣 La #trasformazione è una delle lezioni più preziose che il pane ci insegna. Come gli ingredienti si uniscono e attraversano un viaggio di cambiamenti per diventare pane, così anche noi percorriamo un cammino di crescita ed evoluzione. Ispirate da questo tema, abbiamo organizzato un workshop online gratuito aperto a tutti! La fornaia ti guiderà passo dopo passo nella preparazione del pane, e durante le pause di lievitazione rifletteremo insieme sulla nostra trasformazione personale. Io ti accompagnerò con attività che ti aiuteranno a visualizzare e tracciare il tuo percorso di crescita, ispirandoci al nostro impasto che evolve. Per chi è questo workshop? Per chiunque voglia prendersi una pausa, imparare qualcosa di nuovo e riflettere sul proprio cambiamento – proprio come un impasto che cresce e si trasforma. 📅 Data: Domenica 13 ottobre ⏰ Orario: 16:00 - 18:15 💻 Formato: Online 👉 Vuoi partecipare? Contattami per ricevere i dettagli! Oppure, sentiti libero di condividere l'evento con chi potrebbe essere interessato. #CrescitaPersonale #Benessere #MindfulLiving #Panificazione #Pane #LearningThroughBread #CommunityBuilding #WorkLifeBalance #BreadMaking #TeamBuilding #SviluppoPersonale #Cambiamento #WellnessAtWork #WorkshopOnline #WorkshopGratuito

📕 Yesterday, I started reading a book I've been eager to dive into for a while. Even the preface is incredibly stimulating and scientifically validates what I've intuitively felt with Impasti! #DacherKeltner, Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley, answers a question he's been asked for over 20 years: How might I find deeper #happiness? He writes: “The science points to an answer in the abstract: Find more #community. Deepen your #connections with others. Be with others in meaningful ways. Find #rituals to organise your life. It will boost your happiness, give you greater joy, and even add ten years to your life expectancy, science suggests. Deep connections and the sense of community reduce levels of stress-related cortisol; they activate reward and safety circuits in the brain; they activate a region of the nervous system called the vagus nerve, which slows down our cardiovascular system and opens up to others; and they lead to the release of oxytocin, a neurochemical that promotes cooperation, trust and generosity." ✨ This resonates deeply with me and encourages me even more in my work with Impasti, where we create moments that foster #MeaningfulConnections ✨ The book is The Power of Ritual by Casper Ter Kuile, and reading it so far is strengthening my belief that rituals, like baking #bread together, have the potential to organise our lives in ways that nurture community and well-being. #wellness #lifebalance #burnout #findingbalance #stress #mindfulness #wellbeing #healthyroutines #thepowerofritual #WorkplaceWellness #CorporateCulture #teambuilding

🤌 I know, I know it's in italian, but subtitles are coming soon! I couldn't wait to share the video where we tell what Impasti is about! In the meantime this is the extract: The concept 💡 Bread is never just bread; it reflects our relationship with the world, with ourselves, and with others. This is what inspired me to create Impasti: workshops where we bake bread together. About me 💁🏻♀️ But I’m a designer, not a baker, and this led me to create a workshop format where bread becomes a tool for connecting people in a new way. How it works 🍞 In our workshops, professional bakers guide participants through the bread-making process, and during the resting periods, we introduce various activities that foster connection and reflection. Impasti can be: - the #teambuilding activity for your #corporate event, - the unifying #ritual for you and your clients, - the #performance at your #event to help people meet and connect, - the activity for your corporate #wellness program and #leadership retreat, Who knows what else! Every Impasti experience is a moment to take the time to bake bread, reflect, and experiment together. We hope to knead alongside you soon! ❤️ impasti.org Thanks to Sofia Milazzo and Sound Niccolò for your lovely work! #EmployeeEngagement #Collaboration #CorporateEvents #Teamwork #CorporateWellness #CreativeWorkshops #BusinessWellbeing #Bread #Connection

The essence of what we care about: relationships❤️, nature🌿, simplicity 🍞.

Why did I choose bread out of everything? 🍞❤️ 🌍 Bread as symbol of universal connection: Bread is much more than just food; it reflects our connection with the world, ourselves, and those around us. 🧘 Lessons in mindfulness: The art of bread-making demands the full engagement of all your senses, teaching us to be present and appreciating the moment. 🐌 Embracing patience: Bread-making is a process that requires patience and the willingness to slow down. It helps us fostering a greater awareness. 🤝 Celebrating community and sharing: Bread carries a universal cultural significance as a symbol of sharing and togetherness. It fosters a sense of community. This is what motivated me to create bread-making workshops. And of course because it’s yummy! #breadmaking #connection #mindfulness #teambuilding #workshop #community #patience #bread #teamwork
