In Italy it is SOS smog. The Po Valley is the most polluted region in Europe.
In the cities we breathe air containing fine dust (they are cardiotoxic, they break the heart, the first cause of death in the world), we drink dioxin (the springs under the cities are polluted), we eat chemistry (we don't know the earth and we don't know how to cultivate our food, therefore we buy in the supermarkets foods grown with the intensive method), our bodies are exposed to magnetic waves, we live a chaotic life, full of stress and non-existent human relationships.
By 2050, humans will either become extinct or will be forced to return to hunter / gatherer lifestyles if they continue to destroy the plant life of the Earth.

ESCAPE FROM THE CITY
What are the consequences of living
a world that is too technological and virtual?
Mobile slaves:
Environmental and cultural inductions, says science, lead us to have misconceptions about what makes us happy by making us believe that luxury products, well-paid jobs, and high grades do so. On the contrary, these things often make you stressed and anxious: unhappy!
We have reached the last beach or perhaps we have already gone further. We must stop, we cannot cement agricultural land every day, we cannot behave as if they will be reborn elsewhere. We must limit our behavior by reusing empty existing buildings instead of building new ones on all existing lawns. At the Centro San Cresci a revitalization will take place: let's give new life to an old building now considered nothing but a ruin.
The underlying reason for the crisis we are experiencing is the gradual depletion of mineral resources, including the ability of the atmosphere to absorb the greenhouse gases emitted in cities and megalopolises by human activities and lifestyles conditioned by mass media ...

"To create an innovation

awareness
ECOSYSTEM"- Otto Sharmer
Making a vegetable garden is healthy because it is real physical movement: digging, hoeing, raking, transplanting or weeding are a real physical activity. An hour spent in the garden is equivalent to 20 minutes of gym and is more rewarding.
""... Passing from the IT'S ENOUGH to the FOR is an important, necessary and fascinating operation. But to be managed with great care and attention. Because there is not a FOR that does not want to be unrealistic, that does not start from a meditated IT'S ENOUGH. Concept of FOR implies change and the concept of change necessarily incorporates a IT'S ENOUGH: it is committed to changing things and values that are not going either to give life to things and values that are missing, or to grow things and values that exist but to an insufficient extent , or to reject things and values that hurt. In all these cases, working with FOR and IT'S ENOUGH are, therefore, intrinsically bound together, which does not exclude that, sometimes, the focus can be put on the FOR, and sometimes on the IT'S ENOUGH, but they almost always go hand in hand ...

Changing my life?
The Centro San Cresci is the alternative to a Certain Idea of the World.
Every place of the Centro San Cresci will transform you thanks to the experiences that you will live connected to Ben Vivere, to the Common Good and to the art of relationships, because the real luxury, from us, is human relationships: so life changes at the time of the digital natives .
My decision: to return to experiencing the rural world but with the conscious help of science and technology
The Centro San Cresci project traces the way to create the basis for allowing people like us to become great people: human beings who, with the determination to overcome their limits, will contribute to the planet's prosperity and peace. If we want to change things, we need to think globally, but then act locally, here at the Centro San Cresci starting with ourselves.
We Sancresciani offer you a reflection on the quality of life and on the human encounter in a digital age that would like to reduce it to a virtual state.
With the Centro San Cresci we have overcome and solved the temptation to escape violent society. Here we can create a peaceful lifestyle, aimed at listening to the natural world to celebrate the moral value of life in the countryside, far from city life. We have a vision of the world and of art based on the natural model: we prefer a bare, natural, rustic aesthetic, recognizing the beauty of mother nature that is always more beautiful than the current accessories, ornaments, painting, make-up and art. Let's get some free time for rewarding things, listen to our moods, social life, physical activity, meditation, prayer. Let's compare the San Cresci Center to a theater that has the woods, fields and gardens as its stage.
We are passionate
to this idea and the
we are realizing it
