In 2019, during a long trip to Jordan country, she wrote the book “Giordania, dai beduini ai taxi”, that she calls "a story guide", a book with tips for travellers and a personal view on the Country. That was the starting point of the collaboration with the italian visual artist LU (Luigi Miano). Together, with deep knowledge of the power of art and creativity, they start to retreats and travels in south Italy and all over Europe. She also hosts a podcast called “L’improbabilità della vita”, between Italy and London, that talks about the lives of many female artists and figures who changed the history of culture and art.

An amazing exploration of creativity and authenticity

Lu and Nora's art therapy retreat was perfect for supporting and deepening my spiritual journey. Through an exploration of creativity and vulnerability, I was able to better connect with my authenticity. The activities and schedule were perfectly tailored and adapted, so our time together felt meaningful, organic and productive. I could not have hoped for more, thank you :)
