Our story & our people
Conscious living, together
Here, conscious living, mindfulness and creativity are not taught — they are experienced, together. Shala Heart is a one-of-a-kind facility born from a vision of gathering, healing and co-creation, where people ready to live in alignment with nature come to share their gift with the collective.
Founder
Luisella Luce Torreforte
I was lucky enough to travel across every continent, testing myself beyond my comfort zone; meeting so many cultures taught me to empathize with very different people. I produced music videos, commercials and documentaries — beauty, artistic expression and quality. Then, at the top of my career, I radically changed my life: in 1999 I left everything for the Kosovo war with a camera and a falsified press licence. After an assignment in India for the World Food Programme, photography became my research tool; my first exhibition, Beliefs, captured the spiritual energy that lights up in people through faith. After my daughter was born I turned to inner research, working in international retreat centres as a yoga teacher and coach. I received Pranayama by direct transmission — the practice I most love to share. Then I moved to Africa and founded Shala Heart.
