A Journey into your Feminine Heart
A 7-night luxury women’s retreat inspired by nature that will lead you home to yourself.
The Deep Dive Edition in Collaboration with Martina Christina
October 19-26, 2024 | Civitanova Alta, Italy
Join us for a transformative and intimate 7-night luxury women’s retreat in the beautiful Italian Province of Macerata. Surrounded by expansive vistas of the Adriatic Sea, rolling hills and olive groves, you’ll stay at Oliveto Estate - a beautiful venue that offers a spa as well as optional healing therapies to fully disconnect and relax the body, mind, and spirit from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here, you will have time to rewild, revere and reconnect to your feminine essence.
Inspired by nature’s 5 elements, these 7 days will be filled with carefully curated sessions and experiences designed to bring about profound healing, connection, insights, and transformation. The elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether will be our guides, gently bringing us back home to our cyclical feminine nature. We will come together to play, transform, and support one another on this journey of remembrance.
This retreat is a safe space for you to feel and express all of you while being surrounded by inspiring, like-minded women. Through embodiment practices, empowering tools, a luxurious and soothing environment, sisterhood, and deep presence with nature, you will experience connection and balance in being: a coming home. Fully alive, joyful, peaceful and blissful. A deep remembrance of your truest essence beyond all external noise. A safe haven within yourself. A space to drop into, listen, and receive the answers you long for.

I understand that a retreat is an investment, and for some a bigger financial and time commitment than for others. Hosting a retreat takes a lot of behind the scenes effort and I choose quality and high standards over quantity, which comes with a certain price. Beautiful locations, quality food and service, and a program that offers more than most retreats out there. I also like to keep the group small and intimate in order to create the best experience possible for each participant. For those with financial constraints, we usually offer flexible installment plans, so remember that this is an option 🤍
