Details
You've built an impressive life. The career. The responsibilities. The success everyone sees from the outside. But somewhere along the way, you lost her. The woman who used to feel alive, sensual, inspired. The one who knew how to receive, not just give. The one who felt connected to her body, her desires, her joy. Your relationships feel distant. Your passion feels dormant. You're exhausted from performing, achieving, and holding it all together. And beneath it all, there's this ache, this knowing that you're meant for more than just going through the motions. Or maybe it's deeper than that. Maybe you're carrying trauma that shows up in ways you can't always name. Maybe your body feels unsafe. Maybe intimacy terrifies you even though you crave it. Maybe you've tried everything, and you're still stuck in patterns that keep you unsure of yourself, numb, disconnected. This private retreat in Puglia, Italy, is where the deep work happens. Through intensive Shamanic Energy Healing, sacred rituals, somatic practices, yoga and meditation, we'll get to the root of what's keeping you stuck. This isn't surface-level healing. We work with trauma, ancestral wounds, limiting beliefs and the energetic imprints that have shaped your entire life. This work is intense. It requires courage. You'll be asked to feel what you've been avoiding, release what you've been carrying, and face the parts of yourself you've kept hidden. But on the other side of that discomfort is freedom. Here, amidst olive groves and Italian sun, you'll do the hardest and most sacred work of your life: coming home to yourself. Note: the length of stay + dates are completely customizable to your needs. Insight Timer requires that we pick specific dates, but please reach out if these dates do not work for you!
