You’re invited to the
heart of Italy.

Come to Florence and spend a gentle, restorative week with Susannah Conway, reconnecting to your divinely brilliant self in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Through journaling, guided meditation, creative play, and meaningful conversation, we'll explore what's true in our lives right now while wandering Renaissance streets, hidden piazzas, and art-filled corners of the city. Using our journals as portals, we'll listen for what is calling us next, uncover the stories woven through our lives, and create space to hear our own inner wisdom more clearly. Whether you're seeking creative renewal, fresh inspiration, or simply a week immersed in beauty, Florence offers the perfect setting for discovery, reflection, and delight.

There are stories within you waiting for the right moment, guidance, and perhaps the right city to bring them fully to life. Join acclaimed memoir teacher Marion Roach Smith in Florence for an intimate writing retreat devoted to uncovering the material only you can write. Designed as both a writing experience and a creative pilgrimage, this retreat offers space to write, wander, reflect, and reconnect with your own story in new and unexpected ways.

What if your creative practice could become a source of steadiness, inspiration, and joy, rather than something you have to squeeze into the margins of your life? During this retreat, Samantha will guide you through thoughtful reflection, conversation, journaling, and gentle creative prompts designed to help you reconnect with your creative impulse and understand what allows it to flourish. You’ll have space to consider what creativity means to you, explore the challenges that can make a regular practice difficult, and rediscover the pleasure of simply showing up to make something. Whether you’re returning to creativity after a long pause or looking to deepen an existing practice of writing, art, or making, this retreat offers the time, encouragement, and supportive community to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and delight in the work.

Bring your publishing dreams to life in the heart of Florence. Join literary agent and author Lucinda Halpern for an inspiring week of expert guidance, focused writing sessions, and insider insights into the world of publishing. Whether you're nurturing an early idea or preparing a manuscript for submission, you'll discover what makes your book stand out, find clarity in your next steps, and connect with a community of fellow writers. All surrounded by the art, beauty, and unforgettable experiences of Italy.

​What if you didn’t have to know what comes next? Join artist and expressive arts facilitator Helen Bradley in the beautiful Tuscan countryside for a week of creative exploration, soulful conversation, and the freedom to slow down, play, and follow your curiosity. Through Helen’s playful approach to art-making, reflection, and the simple pleasures of Tuscany, you’ll have space to listen, discover, and see what emerges when you let go of needing all the answers. No previous art experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity and leave room for the unexpected.

Come away to Tuscany for five nights of gentle movement, creativity, laughter, beautiful meals, and the rare luxury of having nowhere else to be. Jo Hutton, creator of Yoga for Tired People, brings her warm, unpretentious approach to yoga to this retreat, guiding you through restorative movement, reflective journaling, and creative exploration designed to help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what feels most alive. You’ll have space to rest, make things, wander, swim, linger over lunch, or simply sit in the sunshine and enjoy the view. With a gentle rhythm and no pressure to achieve or fill every moment, this retreat offers an opportunity to step away from the noise of everyday life, reconnect with your own sense of soul, joy, and creativity, and remember what it feels like to move through the world at a different pace.
