LA DOLCE VITA: TUSCANY RETREAT

MAY 18-25, 2024  •  CORTONA, ITALY
<< SOLD OUT - JOIN THE WAITLIST >>

Tuscany is calling! Join me for a magical 7-night retreat as we immerse ourselves in the wonder, mystery and beauty of la dolce vita. Nestled in the heart of the stunning Italian countryside, surrounded by culture and community, we will dive into practices to.....

Awaken our senses, expand and refine our awareness
Dissolve blocks that hold us back from growth and healing
Attune to our deep knowing and inner wisdom
Surrender into the flow of all that is unfolding

This intentionally-designed program will lead you on a journey through the body, heart and mind, incorporating twice daily yoga and meditation - including Vinyasa, Restorative, Yoga Nidra, Kundalini and Pranayama. The sessions are created to be both experiential and educational, as we continuously open to the full spectrum of aliveness. From the ordinary to the magnificent, we will celebrate life and all that it offers us.

You will have plenty of free time to lounge by the sun-drenched pool, enjoy breathtaking views of the valley from the gardens, unwind with a massage treatment or spend an afternoon at the private spa facility. Our retreat includes a special group cooking class, a guided visit to the stunning hilltop town of Cortona and a celebratory dinner party under the stars on the final evening. Optional excursions to the towns of Montepulciano and Assisi will also be offered for those looking to explore this charming region.
