Embodying Vitality
Women's Retreat in Umbria Italy, September 2025
SOLD OUT
About
Umbria, the ‘green heart’ of Italy, is especially gorgeous in September. We’ll stay in a fourteenth-century, lovingly restored farmhouse surrounded by rolling hills of olive groves and vineyards. With verdant land to explore, a spring water pool, and a full garden, the abundance at this time of year offers a sensory feast for body, mind, and soul.
We’ll savor delicious, farm-to-table meals. We’ll nourish our bodies with daily gentle and slow-flow yoga. We’ll create space in our minds with guided morning meditation and restore ourselves with profoundly relaxing evening Yoga Nidra. We’ll take time to honor what we’ve accomplished in our lives so far, as well as intentionally explore new possibilities. Plus, we’ll indulge our adventurous spirits with excursions around the area, visiting stunning, quintessential Italian villages, an archeological hike through historic ruins, tasting wine, and even a local cooking class. Truly an immersion in living la dolce vita!
We’ll inhale the rich, deep life force of Italy. Exhale, and slow ourselves down. We’ll share laughter and lighten our hearts through joyful connections with like minded women. And by the end of our six nights together, you’ll feel revived and radiant – ready to expand into the next chapter of your life with inspiration and vitalità!’
