BRAHMA  KUMARIS  SPIRITUAL  RETREAT  CENTER - ITALY CASA  =  HOUSE SANGAM  =  MEETING “ The House to meet with.... Yourself, Others  &  God” Casa Sangam is an old house, existing on ancient maps dating back to the 1200s. It is quite inspiring to think that St. Francis of Assisi was probably walking these hills at the time when this house came into existence.
There is history in it's walls.  Back in those days, the only materials available were eco! To respect the natural construction of that time, only naturalmaterials were used for reconstruction.
In 1996 the house was stripped down to it's bare stone walls and earth floor. Reconstruction included only natural materials such as cork, natural terra cotta flooring, some of it made in the ancient traditional way, by hand. It took time to round up these materials.
Cork came from Sardinia and all paintwork uses the antique form of paint used in 'frescos' that is made naturally on a base of milk or eggs. Colours were obtained by mixing the 'earth colours' naturally availble in those days like burnt siena , ocre, copper sulfate etc. It took long and loving research to discover the places still making these materials. Often used however in restorations.
Solar panel for central heating, photovoltaic panels for electricity, fire places to heat up the water in winter, making the system economical, based mainly on renewable energies. solar panels Photovoltaic system
Lighting uses electricity saving bulbs.  There is also a mechanism that withdraws electricity from the walls when you put your light out at night, offering a specially peaceful sleep with no magnetic fields. solar panels A bore well was drilled and water is biologically clean, a UV light controls bacteria
Kitchen wet waste is composted. There are several gardens growing produce organically.  Natural manure is used as fertilizer and stinging nettle infusion is used to combat garden pests.
