AMIGLIA PEOPLE

Zoë Joncheere
After extensive travels as a researcher, writer on truth, freedom, and love, and facilitator of self-realization retreats (Nobody’s Dance), I reached a point where I felt it was time to settle down, to find a place on this beautiful planet that I could call home. Although I didn’t initially plan for it to be a shared space, it naturally evolved that way. I don’t aspire to be the ‘owner’ of this place; I simply follow what my heart guides me to do.

I've written about the process of acquiring Amiglia in two newsletters on my personal website, titled Nobody’s Property and Nobody’s Property Part II. Rather than striving to achieve specific goals, I allow things to unfold, and I’m filled with gratitude and amazement to see other people being drawn to this place I’ve named Amiglia. While I enjoy the ebb and flow of people coming and going, I’d also be delighted to see individuals stay longer and take on some of the responsibilities. There’s no rush—we let things unfold naturally.

Writing and creating remain my priorities, as these are central to the unique expression of this human being called Zoe. In May 2025, my new book, "The Dance of Nobody - a Personal and Transpersonal Journey in Search of Freedom and Love," has been published by Samsara. Although I write in Dutch, I’m confident we’ll find a way to make the book available in English as well.

The newsletters of Amiglia will provide you with more practical information and calendar updates. To receive my personal letters, Zoe’s letters, subscribe on my website.

Lianne van Sweeden
Lianne, like Zoë, is a dancing explorer in this life - or an exploring dancer. With her logistical and empathetic qualities, she wants to help Amiglia to further unfold. She does so when she’s at Amiglia, but also from her home base in Amsterdam. Lianne is good at keeping an overview, creating action plans, caring for people, and simply doing what needs to be done. When she is at Amiglia, she is the first point of contact for guests.

Amiglia lets me live the way I deeply long to: feeling, flowing, unfolding, surprising me—like a dance—in connection and freedom.

Here, life takes over and allows me to be—within this budding community, amidst the rolling hills of the Italian countryside.
