To Florence with Love (Spring 2025)

New for Spring 2025! The past retreat was so gloriously rich in joy, heart transformation, and expression. Come join the ancient magic. We have now come home to remember our divine feminine nature.

I  have been coming to the magical portal city of Florence for 25 years and I am so thrilled to share it with you in this gorgeous new retreat offering. This past Summer I spent an inspired few weeks carefully planning this retreat in person and oh what a difference that made!

The last retreats sold out very quickly.

We will stay in an art villa hotel (1469 renovated estate that once belonged to a Duke and Duchess) with expansive gardens and covered terraces, where we can gather and create, which overlooks Florentine Hills and also near my favorite piazzale. We will have easy transportation to the two most beautiful spots in the city where we can walk to the more hidden and unique treasures and activities I have planned for us. This is a multifaceted retreat to ignite the dreamer and magic-maker in you!
