One of my favorite experiences during our Italy retreat was the cooking class! We learned how to make biscotti, ravioli, and gnudi together…and we ate our food for dinner that night. It was delicious!! 🤤

We’re going back in October of 2026 and we’d love to have you join us for the Bella Sorella Women’s Retreat in Tuscany!! 🇮🇹

Bella Sorella means “Beautiful Sister”—and it perfectly captures the heart of this retreat. A week devoted to connection, nourishment, laughter, rest, and the kind of sisterhood that stays with you long after you return home.

Slow Down. Arrive. Connect.

If you’ve been longing for space to pause, to breathe fully, and to truly be here—this is your invitation. A gentle reminder to step out of urgency and into presence. 💛

💫 Slow Your Roll
🥾 Chi Yoga & Mindfulness Hike for Women
🗓️ Saturday, January 31
⛰️ Lost Dutchman State Park

Together, we’ll move slowly and intentionally along the beautiful Treasure Loop Trail, weaving ChiWalking, Qigong, mindful hiking, gentle yoga, and a grounding five-senses mindful eating meditation into our time together. 🌄✨

This experience isn’t about effort or achievement. It’s about listening inward, savoring each step, and allowing presence to lead the way. A chance to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, the rhythm of nature, and the quiet nourishment your heart has been asking for.

Come as you are. Leave feeling more rooted, spacious, and connected.
