Rusticatio Australiana

SALVI’s rusticationes seek to combine high-level language learning with comfortable, secluded settings which stimulate curiosity, camaraderie, and (ultimately) language acquisition. The seclusion of the site offers the opportunity to experience a complete immersion in the Latin language – once the event begins, participants will be exposed to twenty-four hours a day of Latin. The beauty of the location allows participants to enjoy their time away from academic activities and quietly commune with nature or enjoy time with other participants. Each day contains a full schedule of classroom lessons, readings from various Latin sources, games, meal preparation, communal meals, and ample free time for private study, exercise, relaxing, or conversing. The result is a uniquely powerful academic and personal experience.
