Donkey pace among nature, wellness and territory

In addition to tradition, the donkey is a protagonist in modern areas such as pet therapy (also known as onotherapy), recreational-educational workshops and wellness paths. In this context, La Piccola Bottega creates experiences in which the donkey can be the centerpiece or a simple but valuable companion.

From 3 months to 11 years old, little ones can enjoy unique play and learning experiences in contact with nature. The workshops are designed to introduce donkeys in a gradual and engaging way, through theoretical moments and practical activities such as grooming and caring for the animal. The goal is to develop empathy, respect for the environment and knowledge of the area.

Each proposal is adapted to the age of the participants, ensuring safe, stimulating and memorable experiences.

For those who love slow and authentic tourism, routes combining culture and nature are available. In collaboration with local realities, it is possible to participate in nighttime donkey rides through the Fornelli countryside accompanied by mythological tales and stargazing. There is no shortage of food and wine events and guided tours of the ancient village that highlight the historical and culinary beauty of the area.

Another dimension of activities is dedicated to psychological well-being and personal growth. Courses in art therapy, play therapy and donkey-assisted therapy (onotherapy) are offered, aimed at both individuals and small groups.

These experiences help to regain balance, stimulate self-awareness and improve interpersonal relationships. The donkey, thanks to its calm and welcoming nature, proves to be a perfect emotional mediator.

From discovering the animal world to exploring the territory to wellness trails, these activities are an original and profound way to rediscover the value of slowness, listening and connecting with nature.
