These retreats are not for women who want to disappear from life for a few days, they are for women who want to come back to it differently.

Expect long lunches, beautiful places, extraordinary food, morning rituals, swimming, walking, music, laughter and conversations that go far beyond small talk.

Expect to be challenged, spoiled, to laugh at yourself, to remember things you had forgotten you wanted.

There might be a market at nine and a swim at eleven, (morning or night)

A conversation about your future over lunch, a nap in the afternoon, lipstick before dinner.

A village you have never heard of, a bottle opened because nobody needs a special occasion and perhaps one evening, sitting beneath an Italian sky, you'll look around the table and think: how did I forget that life could feel like this?

You don't come to Italy to become someone else, you come to Italy to meet the woman who is still waiting for you.

​

A FEW THINGS WE WILL ALSO DO

Eat extraordinary food.
Get lost on purpose.
Swim before breakfast and under the stars.
Learn something completely useless and wonderful.
Talk about money.
Talk about love.
Talk about nothing at all.
Dance badly.
Dress beautifully.
Sit under an olive tree and solve absolutely nothing.
Ask yourself what you want now.
And then, perhaps, begin.

WHAT MAY AWAIT YOU

Morning Mindfulness

Meditation & Sound

The Second Act Conversations
Intimate talks about the things women rarely get enough time to discuss: identity, desire, relationships, money, ageing, purpose and what comes next.

Italian Wellness Rituals
Simple ways of bringing more pleasure, beauty and vitality into ordinary life, inspired by the Italian approach to living well.

Food & The Art of the Table
Not a diet plan. A different relationship with food, pleasure and nourishment.

Movement & Morning Energy

Women’s Circles
Honest conversations in beautiful surroundings, without fixing, performing or pretending.

The Reinvention Sessions
A little time to step back from your current life and ask the questions that usually get buried underneath everything else.

La Dolce Vita Evenings, because not everything needs to have a purpose. Aperitivo, dinner, martini, music, laughter, dressing up and staying at the table far too long.

Come for Italy and leave with a different appetite for life.​​​
