Imagine a gift to yourself of a 7 day immersive SLOW ESCAPE in one of the most enchanting regions of Italy, Tuscany. Leave the hustle and bustle at home and join us on a retreat packed with experience, adventure and also precious quiet time to be, to reflect.

For our stay we have chosen a beautiful, authentic and ancient Tuscan stone house, La Concia. It’s situated in the cozy town of Codiponte, amidst olive groves and with breathtaking views. It will be the perfect backdrop for the beauty this region has to offer. Let’s indulge in delicious and authentic Tuscan cuisine and take the most beautiful and unique private excursions, designed and selected together with our local hosts Davide and Maartje.

Amongst these excursions we'll be spending an afternoon foraging and walking through the green and rolling hills with a local herb lady to look for wild flowers and herbs and learning secrets about their use and medicinal purpose. We’ll have a private cooking class on how to make the perfect pasta, led by a true Italian Nonna -  in her kitchen! We’ll also set sail on the Golfo dei Poeti, renamed for the English poets Lord Byron and Shelley, who escaped here in the 1820s. It's natural beauty has inspired writers, poets and artists as Petrarch and Dante. We'll take walks through breathtaking scenery and have a delicious picnic in a secret spot. Let’s be inspired and share stories, sipping on a glass of the best local wine under starry skies in the olive grove!

To enhance this immersive experience, mindfulness classes will be given. While learning how to focus on the breath and how to gain full conscious awareness, you will start to notice a relief from stress. It will help gain clarity of the mind and give you a new perspective on how to live a happier and more balanced life.
