AT THE HEART OF A JOYFUL LIFE
Daily Agenda Spring 2024
Our intention for the retreat is to enable each woman to activate her senses, connect to her heart and uncover her recipe for a joyful life, through:
- Immersion in nature and the grounding presence of Mother Earth
- Mindfulness, meditation and journaling to find stillness, peace and the voice deep within their hearts
- Movement and connection to the energy of the body (dance/yoga/walks in nature)
- Healthy nourishment – food is fuel and impacts our body/emotions/energy
- The support and strength of a safe and trusted community of women
- Playful excursions into the Tuscan countryside
