Details
The Return is a 7-night somatic adventure retreat set in a hand-restored 1500s Tuscan farmhouse just outside Lucca, Italy — private, intimate, and limited to 10 people. The ambiance is unhurried: olive groves, cypress-lined gardens, and a private pool that belongs only to our group all week. Through daily movement, somatic breathwork, and fascial release work, guests let go of what's been stored in the body, not just processed in the mind. A private human design reading adds a layer of self-understanding that carries home with you. Beyond the somatic work, the week is also adventurous, meant to create unique memories and lasting connections with those on the trip: a pasta making class with a local nonna, a private winery tour, a day trip into Florence or Pisa, and an optional day at Tuscany's natural thermal baths. Every activity is optional — guests are never pressured into anything that doesn't call to them. Guests leave with more than a tan. They leave regulated, connected to a small group of people who understand them, and reconnected to their own bodies in a way that lasts well beyond the trip home.

Meals lean into fresh, local Italian ingredients — think farm-to-table, olive oil and produce sourced nearby, and home-style cooking. The villa's kitchen is stocked all week for easy breakfasts and casual meals, with a mix of dinners at the villa and dinners out at local restaurants. Highlights include a hands-on pasta making class with a local nonna, a winery lunch during the vineyard tour, and one private chef dinner prepared just for the group. Dietary restrictions and preferences (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) are accommodated — guests share these ahead of time so meals can be planned around the group.
