THE VISION
An invitation to the harvest
September on the Tuscan coast has a kind of magic. The light turns golden, the vines grow heavy, the air smells of warm earth and harvest.
This is not an escape.
It is a meeting between women, to inhabit a space of authentic presence, inspire one another, and return to our own natural rhythms.
ACTIVITIES
What we'll experience
Body & Presence
– Daily yoga & movement
with yoga teacher Gaia Ceccarelli
Through yoga, pranayama and embodiment practices, Gaia will guide daily sessions designed to reconnect body, breath and awareness, cultivating presence throughout the retreat.
– Eco-somatic workshop
with facilitator Sarah Barberis
A three-hour eco-somatic workshop exploring the relationship between body, presence and land through guided practices, sensory exploration and nature-based exercises.
Land & Exploration
– The Hidden Tuscany
Beyond Tuscany's most familiar routes, we'll explore places that rarely make it into guidebooks. As locals, we'll take you to the trails, landscapes and small realities that make this corner of Tuscany feel truly alive.
– Wine Experiences
From small family-run wineries to the renowned Bolgheri DOC, we'll discover the wines, stories and people that shape this corner of the Tuscan coast.
Connection
– Reflection & Rituals
Journaling, sharing circles and our Full Moon Eve gathering offer space to slow down, reflect and give meaning to the experiences we share throughout the retreat.
– Shared journey
With only 8 women, there's space for genuine conversations, shared experiences and meaningful connections. From slow breakfasts to long dinners, the people you meet become part of the journey.
