THE WEIGHT I CARRY

A LU’MA Ritual Through the Body and the Material World

November 14, 2026 · LU’MA Studio, Florence

A moment to return to yourself. A weight to explore. A gesture to choose.

There are times when our attention is everywhere except on ourselves.

On daily responsibilities, the people we care for, expectations, thoughts, and everything we feel we need to do.

Sometimes we become so used to carrying it all that we no longer notice how much space it takes up within us.

The Weight I Carry is an invitation to pause and become aware of what we carry, starting with the body and our sensations, even before finding the words.

An intimate experience, shared with a small group of women, to explore the relationship between what we hold, what we feel, and the space we allow ourselves.

THE EXPERIENCE

Through simple body-based practices, free movement, moments of silence and attentive listening, we will explore the experience of weight in different ways.

The weight of our own body and the contact with what supports us.

The way we occupy space, move, and perceive our sensations.

Our relationship with the material world, through an object to hold and explore with our hands.

During the ritual, those who wish to may experience a simple gesture:

Putting down a weight.

Not necessarily to free ourselves from it, or to let it go forever, but to explore what happens when, even for a moment, we choose not to carry it.

There are no required gestures, no right feelings, and no results to achieve. Each participant is free to follow her own rhythm and give the experience her own meaning.

A MOMENT OF TOGETHERNESS

At the end of the ritual, we will share herbal tea and light refreshments.

An informal moment, without guided practices, to rediscover the pleasure of conversation, everyday gestures, and simply being together.

Because presence does not belong only to silence. It can also accompany us in the simplest moments of life.

WHO IT IS FOR

For women who wish to take some time for themselves, slow down, and reconnect with their bodies.

No previous experience with meditation, movement, or body-based practices is needed.

Every activity is an invitation, never an obligation. Each participant is free to take part, observe, remain seated, or pause at any moment.

There is no need to share personal experiences or speak about yourself.

Come as you are, with everything you carry.
