TUSCANY
WOMEN'S WELLBEING & PILATES RETREAT
22 - 28 May 2027 - Tuscany, Italy
Do you feel the need to slow down, to reconnect with yourself and to fully immerse in a place where life feels gentle and abundant?
Then join us in the heart of Tuscany, where rolling vineyards, sunkissed hills and an 11th-century estate create the perfect setting to savor the sweet taste of Italy.
Imagine mornings begin with a gentle pilates class and a deeply grounding meditation, while the day unfolds with new adventures, like long wine walks, a creative workshop, learning the secrets of the Italian cuisine or a horse riding tour through the vineyards of Chianti.
From shared stories over long dinners, to quiet moments in the garden - all these experiences will not only give you a sense of belonging, but so much joy, that you will return home feeling deeply recharged, inspired and overflowing with gratitude and feminine energy.
THE EXPERIENCE

Start your day with an activating Mat Pilates class and heart-opening meditation under the warm Tuscan sun, led by our Pilates Instructor Lisa. Awaken your body for the day's adventures ahead!

Inspired by Italy's culture, beauty and the meaning of la dolce vita, we invite you to remember how nourishing it is to surround yourself with beautiful things like breathtaking landscapes, outstanding architecture, good food and warm human connection.
It's about being present with all your senses. About slowing down enough to truly taste, feel, see and experience life in its full spectrum. About enjoying long meals with the girls, moving your body gently, exploring art and history and letting life unfold without rushing.

MEET YOUR HOST
LISA
My name is Lisa - I'm a certified mat Pilates teacher and holistic nutritionist.
I support women in reconnecting with their bodies, finding balance in their daily lives and living in harmony with their natural cycles - especially through the lens of hormone health, mindful movement and nutrition rooted in nature.
Over the years, I’ve specialized in helping women understand and work with their bodies rather than against them – using tools like Pilates, nutrition and practices aligned with the seasons of the female body.
With my roots in Sicily, Italy has always been a big part of my life.
Growing up with this connection, I’ve always been drawn to the Italian way of living. The art of slowing down and truly enjoying life. Of gathering around a table for hours, sharing food, stories and laughter with your loved ones. Of making time for family and friends, appreciating what is right in front of you and finding beauty and slowness in the everyday.
To me, this is the essence of la dolce vita: not a perfect or extravagant life, but a life that is fully lived. One filled with connection to others, to nature, pleasure, presence and the joy of being together.
This retreat was born from that personal connection and way of living I’ve loved since childhood. A space to experience a little piece of the Italy I grew up with - through gathering around tables for delicious food, enjoying Italys beautiful nature & architecture, movement, carefully curated experiences and, above all, the beautiful people we share all of this with.
