A Season of Renewal Through Art, Nature & Connection

An all-inclusive 12-day retreat with breathtaking views of a charming mountain village in Calabria. In between the beach and the city, you will be surrounded by natural beauty, stunning landscapes, and great accommodations complete with air conditioning, pool, and garden. Gorgeous displays of seasonal food, venturing off to neighbouring towns for festivals and markets, this will give you the best the region has to offer.

Workshops feature practices in painting, sculpture, and mixed media sure to satisfy professionals looking to enhance their body of work or beginners seeking a peaceful journey into their creativity. We also offer meditation and breathwork experiences alongside these workshops.

This experience is guaranteed to be full of memories shared amongst an intimate group of 6 but no more than 8.

FAQ

Do I need experience with art or flowers?

Not at all, these workshops are designed for all levels in mind.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely, whether solo or coming along with someone, or even a few people, we will take you however you come!

Are travel and flights included?

Flight is not included. This retreat includes accommodations, a meal allowance, excursion costs, and pick-up and drop-off to the Lamezia Airport or to the Cosenza or Paola Train Station.

What should I pack?

Depending on the season you come, in the summer it is ideal to have clothes that make you feel comfortable, it can get very hot, but up in the mountain it can get cool at night so even a light linen pant and sweater may be nice to have. If coming in the fall, the days are still hot but the air quickly changes to cool as the day finishes.

Is this retreat inclusive and accessible?

The retreats are inclusive of everyone but unfortunately, they are not accessible. Many of the excursions require a good amount of walking on mixed terrain (cobblestone, asphalt, dirt roads, sand, grass, etc).
