Peace and Renewal Under the Tuscan Sky
Tuscany, Italy | September 15-21, 2024
A multicultural healing experience, embracing life with all your senses.
If you enjoy learning about customs and cultures, and you’re ready to breathe in the fresh air while enjoying delicious food and contemplating your next steps in life, then join us for a week in Tuscany! There, you’ll come away with all the delights, insights and new direction you need to bring you the peace and clarity you’re looking for.
Take a moment, imagine...
What would it be like to come with us? To let go and spend a week in Italy?
As your eyes rest on the rolling hills of Italy, you feel the stress melt away. Here, among the colorful wildflowers and calling birds, the calm beauty of the historic hills surrounds you, bringing you to a quiet place within yourself.
Gradually, you feel your burdens lift off of your shoulders...
Walking the trails among the trees and the serene landscape, you reflect on what it was that brought you here. You remember what was missing — a sense of purpose, a sense of wholeness, a sense of Life with a capital L.
And then, suddenly, you’ve figured it out! It’s all right here, in the warmth of Tuscany. As you walk, you remember the cultures you’ve enjoyed. You remember the taste of the delicious foods. You remember the gifts of the people and the bounty of the earth. Never have you felt more purposeful, more delighted, or more full of spirit!
What's calling you to join us?
How can this trip help you reconnect with yourself?
How freeing would it feel to not overcommit all the time?
On this retreat, through ancient hiking trails, meditations, time for reflection, and the support of a holistic healer, you will gain insights that bring spiritual transformation to your every day life and direction for the future.
Wouldn’t it be a relief to not worry about making others happy?
In Italy, through visiting traditional thermal baths and other reflective experiences, you will learn how to let go of trying to please others so you can focus on your life and what’s really important to you.
Can you imagine the joy of feeling deeply connected to yourself and your source?
While we’re together, through a full moon meditation and other experiences guided by a holistic healer, you will have the opportunity to connect with all of your senses, so that you can feel the joy of knowing you are always guided.

What are we offering?
The practical bits, the food, the lodging, and all of the healing.
You'll be nestled in the hills 30 minutes north of Florence in the Mugello area. As you come through the villa's gates, you will be immediately struck by the large gardens that promise a private sanctuary and healing spaces, as well as by the outdoor pool that beckons you to lounge and relax.
The completely refurbished villa, and the common kitchen and living areas await your arrival. You anticipate connecting with food and spirit, as we journey through various cultures and their long-practiced traditions.
Your home away from home has 7 private rooms, each with one or two beds and a private bathroom. Here you will find time for reflection and rest, while tapping into the miracles of your own wisdom and spiritual connection.
*rooms with two beds are first come, first serve.
If you like Italian cuisine (and who doesn’t?) you’ll love Chef Maile’s unforgettable creations! From charming charcuteries to savory salads and delectable, layered lasagnas, you’re in for a culinary treat you’ll not soon forget!
Stay in the moment, as you ponder the many flavors in the lavender-infused dressing of the burrata bliss salad, with sprinkles of homemade Hawaiian salts. Let your eyes wander over the colorful dishes before you, as you anticipate sampling banana kisses and other surprises in store.
Indulging in Italian cuisine is just the beginning. On your journey, you’ll also experience Asian Fusion, Costa Rican cuisine and more. Our food journey will be multi-faceted, as we sample flavors from four regions of the world, while exploring their cultural and spiritual connections. It’s an experience that will leave your taste buds singing for a long time to come!
