Retreat Highlights

Un viaggio per riconnettersi con sé stessi e con l'altro attraverso il corpo e l’espressione autentica.
In questo percorso, dedicato a singoli e coppie, esploreremo il potere dell’intimità e la capacità della vulnerabilità di avvicinare le persone a una versione più autentica di sé.
Vi condurremo in un’esperienza che utilizza la nudità come veicolo per abbattere barriere, allentare le tensioni e sperimentare una libertà espressiva.
La nostra guida è l’esperienza stessa, che evolve attraverso il rispetto reciproco, la condivisione, e la scoperta di sé, sia fisicamente che emotivamente.
"Intimate Essence" Retreat
A journey to reconnect with oneself and with the other through the body and authentic expression.
In this path, dedicated to individuals and couples, we will explore the power of intimacy and the ability of vulnerability to bring people closer to a more authentic version of themselves.
We will take you on an experience that uses nudity as a vehicle to break down barriers, release tensions and experience expressive freedom.
Our guide is the experience itself, which evolves through mutual respect, sharing, and self-discovery, both physically and emotionally.

An amazing exploration of creativity and authenticity

Lu and Nora's art therapy retreat was perfect for supporting and deepening my spiritual journey. Through an exploration of creativity and vulnerability, I was able to better connect with my authenticity. The activities and schedule were perfectly tailored and adapted, so our time together felt meaningful, organic and productive. I could not have hoped for more, thank you :)
