About The Retreat
This is your invitation to just be... Be with your thoughts Be with your emotions Be with your breath and body Be your true self Maybe you need to reset, you want to figure out what your next best move is or maybe you just need a break from the routine. This will be a one-of-a-kind experience in the beautiful Italian countryside. Times of unique quiet, considered activities and practices to gently soften the edges of life and simply pause. We will leave the city of Florence for the 2 hour drive into the UNESCO protected biosphere of the Umbrian Hills to the magical eco-hotel Eremito, where our group will have exclusive use of the estate. During our days we will embrace our natural surroundings, slowing down to an easy tempo, lingering on the moments which bring us joy, and disconnecting from daily stressors. A safe container will be created for the exploration of self, going deeper into our wants and whys. Sound practices, meditative moments, somatic/restorative movement and breath work will support our individual journeys. Time will be taken to tune into the body, understanding it’s held stories and finding the practices that help us feel regulated and strong. Expect to sample true Italian hospitality and ‘la bella vita’ of simple nourishing foods from the organic gardens, drinking from the natural spring, forest bathing and wild swimming at the nearby waterfall. The Activities: Soundbaths/Gongbaths & Sound Explorations; Somatic movement practices / Restorative Yoga; Guided Breathwork and Meditation; Facilitated time for self-inquiry through journaling; Nature & Creative Activities; Cacao Ceremony; Open fires and star gazing; Forest bathing; Wild swimming; Eremito’s signature ‘Silent Dinner’ Your hosts will be George & Almira who are Sound, Meditation and Breath practitioners from London with a strong background in Music and Event planning. Alongside will be the wonderful Dominique - an expert in Movement Psychotherapy, Yoga, Pilates and Nervous System Regulation. We have curated this experience to allow you to feel deeply supported whatever your reason or wherever you are on your journey. Join us!

Wow!!! What an amazing adventure! I loved this trip and I deeply appreciated all elements. The size of the group I felt was just right and the mix of people were perfect. Going to the Sahara was mind blowing and very grounding and soul affirming. Thank you so much for curating such a wonderful experience I will carry with me for a long time.
