Creative Wellbeing
Francesca’s work sits at the intersection of sound, art, neuroaesthetics, and meditation. She has been practicing and studying these disciplines for years, with training in India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Her sessions combine technical knowledge with close attention to the people present.
Sessions follow a clear structure and calm pace. They support nervous system regulation, perceptual clarity, and direct experience. Sessions are available to guests staying at Casa Janna and can also be booked by non-resident guests by prior request.
Sound Healing
Sound sessions use vibration to support rest, regulation, and inner listening.
Francesca has been working with sound since 2020. She is trained in the use of Tibetan singing bowls and gongs, and works with sound as a precise, embodied practice. Over time, the work has been refined to support deep rest, regulation, and attentive listening.
The sessions are quiet. Contained. Intimate. The experience is immersive.
Sound supports nervous system regulation. It softens mental noise and brings attention back into the body.
People often describe it as a "sound massage"—something that moves through you, leaving you lighter, clearer, quieter.
Sound works directly on the nervous system.
Before the mind interprets, the body responds.
This is where regulation begins.
Art as Medicine
Francesca is a certified Open Studio facilitator. She approaches art as a space of freedom and non-judgment—a place where you can explore without evaluation, comparison, or interpretation.
Sessions are open and intuitive. Materials are simple. Guidance is minimal. What matters is curiosity, not skill.
Art becomes a way to listen differently. To slow perception. To make space for what's already present but often unheard.
You don't need an artistic background. You don't need to know what you're doing. You just need to be willing.
Francesca also works with ceramics. She makes pieces by hand—plates, incense holders, vases—objects informed by neuroaesthetics and designed to bring beauty and intention into everyday spaces. Some of this work is available in the concept store.
Creative wellbeing that settles the nervous system, rooted in sound, art, and meditation—tools for when you need to stop thinking and start feeling again
Meditation is not about emptying the mind.
It is not an escape.
It is learning to stay
with what is here.
Meditation
Francesca is a Vipassana meditator in the tradition of S.N. Goenka. She's also been initiated into Pancha Bhoota meditation in India.
She offers introductions for guests who are curious—quiet, grounded sessions that share the principles and practice of sitting with awareness, without pressure or expectation.
Meditation here trains attention. It teaches you to observe sensation, to sit with what is.
Sessions are offered by request, depending on the rhythm of the house and the number of guests staying.
Activities that teach your body to slow down, your mind to stop chasing, and your hands to remember how to make without judgment.
Il Fare a Mano
Creative wellbeing here is also rooted in something familiar: working with your hands. We call it “Capitale Mano”.
Making bread. Cooking together. Spending time in the garden.
These practices anchor you. They bring attention back into the body, into ingredients, into simple gestures that matter.
Bread is made with ancient grains and long natural fermentation. Hand-mixed, hand-shaped, non-standardized. The process teaches patience, attention, and rhythm.
Cooking classes focus on pasta, regional dishes, and everyday techniques.
Time in the orto connects you to seasonality, to soil, to what grows here. Giorgio runs the garden using regenerative farming techniques. Working land, not curated display.
These practices are offered through cooking classes, bread-making sessions, and time spent outside. Availability depends on season, number of guests, and length of stay.
