Imagine a glorious getaway at an authentic centuries-old guesthouse in the magnificent rolling hills of a country property & winery just outside of Bologna, Italy.
Imagine a retreat experience that will allow you to connect with your creativity, nourish your mind and body, find your voice and feel seen, heard and inspired in the company of other like-minded women.
Imagine a retreat that is specially curated with your needs in mind, led by seasoned leaders, where every detail has been taken care of so that you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Now imagine that this retreat takes place in glorious Italy, the land of art, passion, fine food and timeless beauty. Your Italian escape awaits.
“The name of Italy has magic in its very syllables." — English novelist Mary Shelley (1797-1851)
