October 1st–5th, 2020 at Agriturismo Le Pianore
Monticello Amiata, Tuscany
When we get closer to nature, in the untouched wilderness, we do our overstressed brains a favor. Join us at Agriturismo Le Pianore, October 1st-5th, for a healing journey filled with mindfulness meditation, yoga and forest bathing in the very heart of the Tuscan countryside.
Recognised by the Parks Authority as a Naturalistic Refuge, Le Pianore is a certified organic farm, where nature is completely protected. Located on the slopes of Monte Amiata, Le Pianore is crossed by streams and surrounded by woods abounding with a lively fauna.
Here's how your 4-day retreat looks:
- Receive comprehensive Integrated Mindfulness Meditation instruction on how to apply mindfulness in daily life
- Feed your soul with enlightening mantra chanting and daily yin yoga
- Immerse yourself in a healing forest bathing experience in the surrounding Monte Amiata mountains
- Soak in the river, lake and swimming pool of the organic farm
- Treat your taste buds with wholesome Tuscan cuisine, locally sourced from the organic farm & lovingly prepared by the family chef*
*all meals are farm-to-table sourced from produce exclusively grown in our organic farm, starting from our house made yogurt to our delicious jams straight from our farm’s fruits, to our daily backed bread and freshly baked cakes, you name it.
The retreat also includes:
- Accommodation for 4 nights
