Claire - Italy Retreat 2024

“The retreat was more than I expected, it was a journey of the soul. I was able to take time for myself to reflect, go deep emotionally and physically. I was able to breathe again. I was able to release all that was not me.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect, I’m glad that I answered the universe. I came as I was, and left as a new person, remembering that it was always there within me. I had it all along; I just forgot. I am reminded of who I am, who I was, and who I want to be. ”

Why Choosing Us Compared to Others

Most retreats are in plain buildings or resorts. Our location is a symbol of the path of rebirth we'll embark on together.
We’re in a remodel and remote 1,000 years old monastery in Italy, surrounded by untouched forest. It feels like stepping into a fairy tale.
Most retreat just have yoga practices as part of it. Our retreat provides deep inner work. It is a journey where different mindfulness activities and workshops progressively lead you to remove what is blocking you and open yourself up to a new version of you, calmer, more joyful and with more clarity.
Other retreats might help you relax, but they don’t teach you tools to feel calmer in stressful situation once you go back to your every day life. We provide you a tool kit for you to integrate once you get home.
Some retreats don’t get special attention. We ask you to fill an intake form before signing up to make sure you get what you need and you are a good match for the group. This intial screening creates a safe and supportive environment and create real connections with others.
Most retreats are done by foreigns into pretty locations. Gaia takes you to her home country so you can truly immerse in the culture and get any curiosity answered.
Other retreats are a nice escape. But, our retreat is structured as a journey where details matter. This is why we also align our retreats during a full moon to tap into this powerful astrological moment in supporting us to cleanse and let go both physically and energetically.
