“Be Your Deepest, Truest, Most Powerful Self”
This all-inclusive retreat helps us to engage and reconnect with ourselves, while exploring different modalities to help transform our energy and lighten our life perspective.
Through intuitive creativity, body release work, coaching, movement, and mindfulness, we will leapfrog old ways of seeing and being, and ignite greater passion, confidence and hope within ourselves.
This dynamic wellness event invites us to change the way we experience our life, and elevate ourselves to walk the earth as women in gratitude every day.
Open your heart and transform your world. We look forward to hosting you!
People join us on retreat in order to slow down, relax, release that which is not serving them, and reconnect to intuitive flow, joyfulness, and self-compassion.
One of our regular guests refers to our retreats as her “annual soul exfoliation” :)
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.
Light snacks and naturally infused waters will also be served. Dietary restrictions are honored.
Energy Expression
Energy Expression (a light form of Intuition Painting) with Montine bypasses the ego, and allows your creative muse to express your innermost feelings, beliefs and hopes.
Using a methodology that combines guided meditation, mantras, and creaivity coaching, you stay focused solely on the process, without any concerns about the final product.
The approach connects you with your creative flow, so that unplanned forms and figures from the unconscious can appear.
The resulting paintings become visual stories, offering insights about your inner world and giving guidance to help empower yourself.
Reiki
Reiki, offered by Brandi Tanger, is an ancient Japanese healing technique used to remove physical, mental, and energetic blockages from the body. The word means “spiritual” (Rei) and “life force energy” (ki).
The practice is a relaxing, light touch therapy that removes stagnation or imbalance, so that the body can return to flow state and feel deep peace.
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.
The Activities
Each retreat weaves in a unique, optional event in collaboration with a local artisan, farmer, or chef from the area, so that the weeks can offer both familiarity as well as novelty for our repeat retreaters.
