To Florence with Love (Spring 2024) Sold Out – Waitlist Here

Sold out. Email Alena  (alena.hennessy @ gmail . com to be added to waitlist. I  have been coming to the magical portal city of Florence for 24 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 first one in April sold out in just a few days just via messenger/stories so I had to offer another one for this Autumn of 2024.

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!

• Note lunch and 2 dinners are not included. You can lunch at hotel with many other options when we are exploring.

For quick reservation, please send Zelle to alena.hennessy@gmail.com or Venmo to Alena-Hennessy (this is preferred). Pay deposit now to hold your space and other two payments will be due February 1 and April 1, 2024.
