19th Italian Suscon 2025: The Second Edition at Baita Segantini: Passion, Community, and Awareness
The second edition of the Italian Suscon, held entirely independently at the charming Baita Segantini in Pian dei Resinelli (Lecco), concluded with great success. Framed by the spectacular scenery of the Grigne Group, the majestic mountains that dominate the landscape, participants enjoyed an intense and deeply meaningful experience.
The 19th edition of the Italian Suscon, the Italian convention dedicated to body suspension, once again proved to be an unmissable event for those who wish to explore the boundaries of their awareness through this unique and intense practice. Organized entirely by passionate volunteers, the Suscon is not just an event, but a true community founded on the values of openness, horizontal exchange, and personal growth.
A place for encounters and experimentation
Suscon represents a rare opportunity to experience body suspension in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment. Thanks to the commitment of all the volunteers, the event offers the public the opportunity to experience this firsthand, accompanied by professionalism and care. It is not simply a performance or an aesthetic act, but a journey of profound awareness that allows one to explore the limits of the body and mind.
Suspension as a Tool for Cohesion
Body suspension, the beating heart of the convention, is interpreted here not only as an extreme or artistic practice, but as a powerful tool for social cohesion and building a strong and supportive community. Three simple yet fundamental concepts guide this philosophy:
Education: respect for people, practices, and shared space.
Respect: mutual care and attentive listening to each experience.
Passion: a love of experimentation through the body, which leads to a deeper awareness of the self.
The Strength of Community
One of the most significant aspects of the convention is its communal nature. There are no rigid hierarchies here, but rather a horizontal exchange that values every voice and experience. This approach creates a space for authentic dialogue, where each participant can feel welcomed and supported on their personal journey. The Suscon community is built day after day, event after event, through the sharing of stories, emotions, and discoveries.
Growing to Participate
Through physical suspension and interaction with others, participants are encouraged to develop greater self-awareness, a fundamental element for becoming stronger internally. This strength is not an end in itself, but translates into a more active and fruitful ability to participate in community life, contributing with authenticity and responsibility. Suscon, therefore, is not just an individual experience, but a driver of collective growth.
A Legacy of Passion and Dedication
Looking back at past editions, such as those documented on the website [www.aptpi.org], it’s clear how Suscon has grown while maintaining its values of respect, inclusion, and volunteerism. Every year, new participants join this network of people who share a passion for body suspension and the personal transformation it brings.
Towards the 20th Edition
With hearts full of gratitude, the Italian SusCon Suspension Team looks forward to welcoming all enthusiasts and participants to the next edition, the 20th, which promises to be full of new and exciting experiences.
A heartfelt thank you to all the participants, supporters, team members, and volunteers who made this wonderful event possible!
