Rest, Restore & Revive Retreats

You can expect to clear your mind and reconnect to your whole self at our 7-day retreat in the stunning region of Tuscany.  

The seven day retreat will guide and empower you to cope with modern life and transform the stress which disturbs your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing into enjoying exceptional health and happiness. Your wellbeing is at the heart of what we do. The retreat will be led by Lauren McLaughlin and Peter Michael Dedes.  We can’t wait to welcome you!

We welcome anyone of all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced practitioners. Our wellness retreats are not just for those who practice every day. Our retreats are about self discovery and offer opportunities for growth and new experience.. It is suggested to keep an open mind and try out practices that might be new to you.

Yes! About half our participants come alone and often come away with lifelong friends. If you’re traveling alone, a wellness retreat is the best way to meet new people with similar interests in a safe and healthy environment. It’s in the community where you will gain new and rich insight to who you are.

Our group sizes will be a maximum of 10 guests.  We believe that the smaller and more intimate the groups, the more lasting and sustainable the work achieved.  

We will provide almost all of the meals during your retreat, as described in the schedule. Food is a very important part of our retreats as we believe in the dictom ‘we are what we eat’, we always enjoy delicious food on our retreats and strive to include locally produced organic, fresh ingredients only. Please let us know beforehand if you have any special needs; food allergies or other allergies, or any other special needs or conditions, dietary or medical. We would most likely be able to accommodate it.

Our retreats are active so you will want to be sure to bring light weight clothing and comfortable walking shoes. The villa is in the mountains so the temperatures can get chilly.  Be sure to bring a nice sweater to keep you warm, especially in the evenings.

Our retreats include a healthy balance between group activities and solo free time to relax, read a book, take a walk, etc. The days that we have outings planned we will go lighter on the movement  and we generally build in time for participants to go off on their own or simply stay at our retreat center.

We recommend you to book as early as possible as the number of participants are limited and you may not want to be left out. The booking to the retreat is mostly closed one month before the start date.

You are responsible for booking your own airfare to and from Italy.  Please write to us for any assistance in this regard.

Transportation to and from Firenze Airport and tours within Tuscany is included.

In Italy, the Euro is the currency. With a debit card, we advise getting the bulk of your euro in Italy for exchange rate purposes or using a credit card.  We recommend having at least 50 euro with you to help navigate the first portion of travel.

You will need to purchase your flights in order to arrive/depart by given dates and time ranges for your specific experiences.  If you choose to arrive earlier or later than given day/time you will be responsible for the cost of transportation needed to join up with the group.
