About Designing Your Life Italy

Mission & Vision

Designing Your Life Italy exists to help women at a crossroads pause, reconnect with themselves, and intentionally shape the next chapter of their lives. We believe that meaningful change happens when we step out of our routines and into inspiring environments. By pairing Stanford University's Designing Your Life framework with the beauty, history, and creative energy of Rome, our mission is to offer transformational experiences that spark clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Tucked away on Rome’s tranquil Aventine Hill, our workshop venue is a historic sanctuary surrounded by lush gardens, climbing vines, and sun‑washed brick. It’s a hidden corner of the city where time slows down and the outside world feels far away. The kind of place where conversations deepen and insights land. The physical environment supports the inner work: unwinding old patterns, imagining new possibilities, and gaining the clarity needed to shape a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
