TUSCANY RETREAT
October 3-9, 2027
Led by Tristina Kennedy + Michael Fong
Soak up the enchanting Italian vibes from the moment you arrive. Being amongst the Tuscan landscapes feels like stepping into postcard. The pace and beauty of this region makes it easy to drop into the Italian practice of "la dolce far niente" - the sweetness of doing nothing!
Imagine yourself waking up to the sounds of the birdsong, taking a short stroll through the gardens, dining al fresco, exploring picturesque towns, and connecting with a diverse group of people. This retreat offers daily yoga practices + group activities. There will also be plenty of free time to rest + relax.
