TUSCAN MONASTERY

1-5 July 2025

Join us for five unforgettable days in a hidden monastery tucked away in the rolling hills of Tuscany — a secret, soul-stirring sanctuary where time slows down and clarity returns. Immerse yourself in the quiet magic of this untouched corner of Italy as you reconnect with your breath, nourish your body with vibrant meals, and rediscover the joy of simply being. This is your time to rest, reflect, and renew — in a place designed for deep transformation.

Imagine waking up in a 13th C monastery, hidden deep in the northern province of Tuscany. The air is still, the light golden, and there’s a gentle sense that something sacred is unfolding. For five soul-nourishing days, your journey will be one of rest, reconnection, and renewal.

Mornings begin with grounding yoga, breathwork and meditation in a quiet sunlit space, or in the ancient chapel, helping you tune inward and set the tone for the day. This retreat is lovingly crafted to help you reset your nervous system, restore your energy, and rekindle your creativity.

You’ll cook pasta with a local chef, enjoy a guided hike with a little foraging along the way, and tap into your creativity during a peaceful session in the pottery studio. There’s also time to lounge by the pool or explore the monastery’s 50 acres of horse chestnut forest — a quiet, grounding space to simply be.

There is a rhythm to this retreat: space to rest, space to reflect, and space to celebrate. Time for journaling, deep conversation, or doing absolutely nothing — followed by candlelit dinners and the soft hush of twilight in the hills.

By the end of each day, you’ll return to your comfortable, serene room — not just full, but fulfilled.

Come and experience the quiet magic of Tuscany. Reset your body. Reawaken your spirit. And return home with a deeper sense of clarity, vitality, and joy.

Don’t Wait to Re-treat Yourself…..

We often delay our well-being, waiting for the “right” time to focus on ourselves. But real nourishment—of the body, mind, and soul—can’t wait.

When we choose to slow down and care for ourselves with intention, we create space for clarity, vitality, and lasting transformation.

What would it feel like to eat vibrant, grounding meals… to cook alongside a seasoned chef in the hills of Tuscany… and to breathe deeply in the quiet stillness of an ancient monastery?

This retreat is more than a break—it’s a sacred pause. A chance to reset your nervous system, restore your energy, and reconnect with yourself in a place designed for peace and perspective.

So to the achievers, the givers, and the seekers: this is your invitation to choose nourishment over exhaustion, stillness over hustle, and connection over disconnection.

This is your moment to rest, reset, and remember what truly matters.

You deserve this. Let Tuscany hold you while you return to yourself.
