The appointment is on Tuesday, May 19 at 8:30 PM in the Multipurpose Hall of Monastier. The journalist and Nordic Walking technician will talk with journalist Valentina Nespolo in an evening dedicated to the value of daily steps
MONASTIER (TREVISO). “The journey speaks to us. And we, if we learn to listen to it, also learn to speak a little better to ourselves.” This reflection encapsulates the essence of “Drops of Well-being – The Words of the Journey”, the latest work by Treviso journalist Domenico Basso, which will be officially presented on Tuesday, May 19, in the Multipurpose Hall of Monastier (TV).
The author, who has been combining journalism with a passion for Nordic Walking for years, will engage in a dialogue with Valentina Nespolo, director of Nuovo Terraglio. The event will not only be a book presentation but an invitation to slow down and rediscover that “home” that each of us possesses: our own movement.
A journey in 50 keywords
The volume is structured like a vocabulary of the soul, where through 50 key words — from “breath” to “calm”, from “bench” to “backpack” — Basso guides the reader along paths of nature and moments of deep awareness. These are not simple definitions, but “drops of thought”, seeds sown to inspire the reader to get moving, not only physically but also internally.
“My adventure with walking began almost by chance, from a simple phrase: ‘His cholesterol is a bit high, he should get moving’”. From that clinical necessity emerged a powerful discovery: the pleasure of an ancient gesture that connects the external landscape with the inner one.
The journey as relationship and health
During the evening, we will talk about walking as an act of respect for the environment, but also as a tool for health and relationships. In the pages of “Drops of Well-being,” the author emphasizes how every step is an act of love towards oneself and how the group can transform into a force capable of supporting those who risk being left behind.
The meeting promises to be a moment of authentic exchange, where “slowness” — a word often forgotten in modern times — is reclaimed as a necessary luxury to rediscover the wonder in small things: a breathtaking sunrise, the scent of salt after a winter walk, or the reassuring rhythm of one’s own trekking poles.
How to participate
The appointment with Domenico Basso and Valentina Nespolo will take place on the evening of Tuesday, May 19, at the Multipurpose Hall of Monastier. The meeting will start at 8:45 PM.
The presentation, which sees the collaboration of entities related to wellness and the territory such as TucoGiò, represents a step in a broader narrative journey that the author is undertaking to share the benefits of mindful movement.
