and
Find Yourself
An intentional retreat for women ready to pause, reconnect, and design what's next while soaking in the beauty and ambiance of Tuscany
About This Retreat
Time to
come back to yourself.
Imagine arriving at a private villa nestled among the rolling hills of Tuscany, surrounded by olive groves, beautiful gardens, and the timeless beauty of the Casentino Valley—and finally exhaling. Just beyond the villa lies the medieval village of Poppi, with its charming streets, historic castle, and quiet Italian rhythm. Here, the pace of life slows, giving you room to breathe, wander, laugh, reflect, and reconnect with the part of yourself that can so easily get lost in the busyness of everyday life.
Dedicated intentional time to step fully away from the noise and reconnect with the woman you've always been — and the life you truly want to be living. Mornings unfold gently with movement, guided conversation, and space to think. Days are filled with the richness of Tuscany itself: local markets, vineyard visits, hilltop villages, and long, unhurried meals.
This is your invitation to reset — not by escaping your life, but by returning to it with greater clarity, deeper presence, and a renewed sense of what's possible.
Our Tuscan Home
Settle into your Tuscan Villa—a beautiful private country estate set just .4 miles outside the medieval village of Poppi, surrounded by the rolling hills and natural beauty of the Casentino Valley. With every bedroom equipped with a private ensuite bathroom, spacious gathering areas, a private pool, spa, and beautifully landscaped gardens, there’s room to be together and plenty of space to simply enjoy your own quiet moments.
When you’re ready to slow down even further, the villa’s private spa offers a Jacuzzi overlooking the valley, sauna, steam room, sensory shower, and relaxation area. Spend an afternoon by the pool, linger over a glass of wine in the garden, or find a quiet corner to journal and take in the views. And when you want to explore, the charming center of Poppi is just a short walk away, with its historic streets, restaurants, and magnificent medieval castle.
It’s more than a place to stay—it’s the setting that allows you to settle in, slow down, and truly experience your week in Tuscany.
What to Expect
Intentionally Designed
This is a tentative rhythm — every day has an arc, but nothing is over-scheduled. There is space to wander, linger over an espresso, and simply be.
Mornings unfold with optional morning movements such as Yoga, Pilates and breath work.
Breakfast is served 8:30-10:30
Guided reflection will begin at 9am
June 7thWelcome & Settle In
Arrive at our private Tuscan villa anytime between 12 - 6pm and let yourself finally exhale. Spend some time exploring your surroundings, unpack slowly, unwinding in the villa’s spa and allow yourself to fully arrive to enjoy the days to come. The evening opens with a chef prepared welcome dinner at the villa allowing us to relax, get to know each other and enjoy the taste of Italy in the comfort of the well appointed villa — a long table set under the Tuscan sky, local wine poured freely, and the first of many meaningful conversations beginning to unfold.
June 8thDiscover & Connect
Mornings begin with gentle movement and guided intentional conversations — time to reflect, journal, and begin exploring and rediscovering what matters most.
Embrace the Italian art of dolce far niente—a morning with nowhere to be and nothing you need to accomplish. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, take an optional group walk along the peaceful country roads and trails surrounding the villa, indulge in the villa’s spa features, book an in villa massage (additional cost) or hop on a train for a spontaneous visit to a neighboring town.
Later in the afternoon, we’ll take a leisurely walk into the medieval village of Poppi for an Italian passeggiata—wandering through the charming streets, exploring the castle, and soaking in the atmosphere before sitting down to a traditional Tuscan dinner at a local ristorante. Afterward, a taxi will be provided to bring us comfortably back to the villa.
June 9thVineyards & Villages
Let your morning unfold with intentional movement designed to let your mind and body release stress you may not have even known you were carrying. Guided reflections will allow you to dig a little deeper and to continue to reconnect.
Step into the timeless beauty of Tuscany with a day dedicated to wine, castles and history. We will visit two extraordinary wineries, one set in a castle, taste the wines, indulge in the food pairings and discover the histories behind the vines. On our return will stop at a charming village for a stroll and another evening of culture and a leisurely Italian dinner.
June 10thCulture & Cuisine
Our mornings begin to take on a rhythm of their own. Through intentional movement and guided reflection, you’ll find yourself becoming more attuned to your inner voice, more comfortable slowing down, and more naturally checking in with yourself. What began as a practice now starts to feel like a way of being.
Discover the charming streets and ancient piazzas of Arezzo, a beautiful Tuscan city rich in history, art, and local character. Wander, shop, explore, and soak in the rhythm of everyday Italian life before coming together for one of the most timeless traditions of Tuscan cuisine—making pasta by hand.
In a hands-on cooking experience, we’ll learn the secrets and traditions passed down through generations, creating pasta from scratch and sharing in the simple pleasure of preparing, cooking, and enjoying a meal together. Laugh, cook, share stories, and discover the simple joy of gathering around a table to enjoy something we created together—the very heart of Italian cuisine and la dolce vita.
June 11thLa Vita che Scegli — The Life You Choose
As our time together begins to come full circle, we’ll use our final morning of guided reflection to turn the clarity you’ve gained into action. Together, you’ll create a personal plan for moving toward the desires, goals, and changes you’ve been uncovering throughout the week—one that feels meaningful, realistic, and truly yours.
Then, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. Linger by the pool, unwind in the villa’s spa, book an in villa massage, take a train to a nearby village, or join us for a leisurely group walk along the river. There’s no agenda to follow—just time to savor the beauty around you and enjoy the feeling of being fully present.
And as our final evening arrives, we’ll gather around the table one last time for a private chef dinner in the villa. Over beautiful food, wine, laughter, and the stories we’ve shared, we’ll celebrate the week, the connections we’ve made, and the intentions we’re taking home with us.
June 12thOltre la Toscana —Beyond Tuscany
Our time in Tuscany may be coming to an end, but the journey doesn’t stop. We’ll leave with memories we’ll cherish, intentions we’ll carry forward, and friendships that will continue long after we say goodbye to our Tuscan home. After breakfast and a final moment to take in the beauty of the villa and the countryside around us, it’s time to check out by 10:00 AM.
Whether you’ll begin your journey home or continuing on to Lake Garda hosted trip, you’ll leave Tuscany with more than beautiful memories. You’ll take with you meaningful connections, a renewed sense of yourself, and greater clarity about the life you want—and the intentions needed to get there.
