Step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and craft a life that feels truly your own.This all-inclusive, 7-day retreat blends intentional coaching, soulful exploration, and deep restoration—so you leave with clarity, vitality, and a self-created roadmap for flourishing.
Most retreats offer relaxation. This one offers realignment. The Sweet Life Retreat is for those ready to pause, reflect, and reset—not just for a week, but for how they live moving forward. In Tuscany’s heart, guided coaching, cultural immersion, and deep personal reflection help you rediscover what matters most—on your terms.
Over seven spacious days, you’ll journey through an arc of reflection, vitality, identity, and joyful clarity. Expect coaching walks, Florence immersion, spontaneous laughter, journaling moments, nourishing food, and the freedom to slow down. Each day supports a gentle shift—so transformation feels natural, not forced.

3. Flourish Beyond Tuscany – Leave with your own self-created roadmap and a personalised 12-week Flourishing Guide—designed to help you integrate and sustain your transformation with clarity and ease. And because the framework is simple and timeless, you'll be able to revisit it anytime life invites you to pause and begin again.
