Discover Your Senses Retreat - Tuscany (PAST)
Tuscany May 4 - May 11, 2022
“To be mindful is to be truly alive, present, and at one with those around you and with what you are doing” - Thich Nhat Hanh
It’s easier than ever to rush through life these days. The pause that the pandemic offered was quickly replaced by the pressure to do more, to be more productive, and to busy ourselves once again. Isn’t it amazing how quickly we refilled the quiet stillness? As we buzz from one activity to the next, we often miss the beautiful details of our days, forgetting to truly stop and smell the roses as they say.
This adventure through the Tuscan countryside encourages you to slow down, take in the richness of each sense, and be truly present with the beautiful details of your days. Consider this our invitation to choose you - over the noise and the chaos of life, choose a simple, indulgent escape to recenter your mind, body, and soul.
