Retreats

Immersive renewal retreats in Italy for leaders and visionaries to reconnect with
the source of innovation, wonder, and the architecture of a life well-lived.

A retreat isn’t an escape; it’s an arrival.

While my workshops focus on teams, my retreats provide a space for executive restoration, designed for the individual leader seeking an immersive, high-proximity experience.. Drawing inspiration from the same radical interconnectedness that the Italian masters understood—that nature, spirit, and strategy are never separate—we move away from the noise of ‘doing’ to remember how everything is connected. Whether in the galleries of Florence or on the ancient trails of the Via Francesco, these retreats are an invitation to find creative renewal and reconnect with the frequency of your own being.

The Three Pillars of the Retreat Experience

Physiological Grounding

We regulate the nervous system to move out of high-functioning survival mode and into the grounded presence required for true leadership.

Creative Connectedness

We use the art and landscape of Italy as a mirror. Like Da Vinci and St. Francis before us, this is the heart of creative renewal is exploring the threads between nature, humanity, and our work.

REBEL IN MOTION

You don’t just learn the REBEL Framework; you live it. We test the tools of trust and creation in real-time, within a community of peers.

Discover the St. Francis Way

One saw the divine in the mathematics of the human body and the flight of a bird; the other saw it in the brotherhood of the sun and the soil. Both Leonardo da Vinci and St. Francis of Assisi understood a fundamental truth: nothing exists in isolation. My retreats are built on this same principle—that your leadership, your nervous system, and your connection to the world are one single, beautiful architecture.

FAQ: The Retreat Experience

You may need a retreat when your inner pace no longer matches the pace of your life. Common signs include emotional fatigue, creative stagnation, decision‑making fog, or a sense that you’re living from obligation rather than purpose. Renewal retreats in Italy offer the space to reset your nervous system, reconnect with clarity, and return to yourself

Yes — when it’s designed for genuine Creative Renewal rather than escape. These retreats create the conditions for deep restoration: beauty, slowness, contemplative practice, and honest reflection. Many leaders return home with renewed purpose, clearer boundaries, and a more grounded sense of who they are and what they’re here to create.

Don’t overschedule yourself, perform for others, or try to “optimize” the experience. A retreat is not a productivity hack — it’s a pause. The work is to slow down, listen, and let the noise fall away. Leave urgency at the door. Bring presence instead.

My retreats are what I call Soulfully Curated. Expect high‑quality linens, beautiful aesthetics, and incredible local food — because beauty is a somatic resource. But also expect to do deep, sometimes uncomfortable internal work. This is not a spa vacation; it’s Executive Restoration for the soul.

Whether you paint on a canvas or build an organization, you are in the business of bringing the un‑manifest into the world. These retreats are designed for anyone longing for Creative Renewal — not just artists.

To maintain high proximity and deep facilitation, retreats are capped at 8–12 participants. This allows for intimacy, safety, and meaningful transformation without the overwhelm of large groups.

Most renewal retreats in Italy involve gentle walking, time outdoors, and contemplative movement. You don’t need to be an athlete — just comfortable with light activity and open to being in your body in a new way.

They are spiritually grounded but not religious. The work draws from contemplative traditions, place‑based wisdom, and regenerative ecology. People of all belief systems are welcome.
