Under the Tuscan Sun
Experience a dreamy week in Tuscany, set in a gorgeous, sprawling Italian borgo, overlooking rolling hills and olive groves with Florence glittering in the distance and the lower Appine mountains as a backdrop in the far off distance.
The Food
Enjoy mouth-watering meals prepared by experienced, health-conscious cooks using local and organic ingredients.
They welcome us with a traditional aperitivo and prepare our every delicious meal Tuscan style, with seasonal, fresh ingredients and an eye towards nutrition and health. Our dinners include local wine, various courses to satisfy every diet, and out-of-this-world desserts.
Snacks, fruits, tea, and coffee are available all day. Dietary restrictions are honored where possible.
Intuition Painting®
Intuition Painting® delivers profound personal and artistic breakthroughs by tapping into your unconscious self and allowing your inner world to be expressed.
Using a methodology that combines guided meditation, creativity coaching, mantras, personal inquiry, and reflective movement, you stay focused solely on the process, without any preconceived ideas or concerns for the resulting product.
The approach side steps your inner judge and connects you with your intuitive creative flow, so that unplanned forms and figures from the unconscious can appear.
The resulting paintings become visual diaries, offering insights about your inner world and giving guidance to help you know, grow, and heal yourself.
The Movement
Let the daily yoga and movement sessions help support your journey by easing your body and mind back into a relaxed flow. Let yourself explore movement and spontaneous writing with the Authentic Movement sessions.
