Free Tibet

Tibet, free land, in the soul.

Flavio and Lella come in contact with Tibetan culture and the world during expeditions in the Himalayas at the turn of the '80s and '90s, and subsequent travel to countries such as India, Nepal, and, of course Tibet.

To the problems of the people, he feels, since then, very close so as to support the Indian monasteries of Drepung and Ganden, and to invite every year, some monks to stay, for a time, in the shelter.

And 'this a way to bring together two geographically distant cultures, groped for integration between them and stimulate mutual knowledge, as well as an opportunity to be close to a people still engaged in the solution of some complex events.

To fascinate particularly family Spazzadeschi is the deep spirituality that this people is a carrier. From all this comes the decision to give refuge to the patrons of Shamballa (whose name is, precisely Tibetan) the possibility of a comparison with such a culture.

Since 2006, the family Spazzadeschi organizes tours with Tibetan Monks to raise funds which are then sent to the monastery of Drepung and Gaden in India
