What is Respy
Italy's #1 marketplace for events for body, mind and spirit.
Respy gathers personal growth experiences, breathwork, dance, somatic practices, retreats and workshops across Italy.
For those searching for something, even when they don't quite know what yet.
The feeling
It's not just "looking for an event".
It's that precise feeling.
You need to move. Breathe. Meet new people. Come back into your body. Change your surroundings.
Maybe you don't know yet whether it will be a dance, a circle, a retreat, a workshop or a breathwork practice.
You only know that something is calling you.
Respy was born to help you find it.
The problem
The experiences are out there. They're just scattered everywhere.
Instagram. WhatsApp groups. Word of mouth. Newsletters. Flyers. Friends of friends.
So much is happening in Italy, but you often only find it if you're already in the loop.
Respy puts everything in one place that's easier to navigate.
The origin
We created it first and foremost because we needed it ourselves.
We are three Italians who lived abroad for years.
There we each began, in our own way, personal growth paths: breath, movement, body, relationships, community, presence.
Coming back to Italy more and more often, we looked for events, facilitators, retreats and spaces where we could find those energies again.
They existed. But they were hard to find.
So we started building Respy.
For facilitators
For those who facilitate, getting found takes too much energy.
Many facilitators spend hours promoting events, often reaching mostly people who already know them.
Respy wants to help events reach people who are ready, curious and nearby, but not yet inside that bubble.
Less effort explaining that you exist. More space for the real work.
The model
Respy is free. And it will stay free.
For those looking for events, Respy is free.
For facilitators and organizers, publishing events on Respy is free and will continue to be.
We want the map to stay open, useful and accessible.
In the future we will offer optional tools for those who want more support with promotion and with the work after the first contact: communication, sales, follow-up, community, aftersale processes.
The foundation, though, will always remain this:
finding events will be free.
publishing events will be free.
extra tools will be optional.
The movement
The Italian tribe is growing.
More and more people are looking for places to breathe, dance, feel their body, meet with more truth, sit in circle, change pace.
It's not a static niche. It's a living movement.
Respy wants to help it see itself, meet itself and recognize itself.
Respy is a map. Not the territory.
Real experiences happen in person.
In a studio.In a forest.On a floor where people dance.In a circle.In a shared breath.
Respy is here to do one thing well: help you find them.
