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.
1. Schedule Your Discovery Call – Connect with Paul to explore whether this retreat is the right fit for where you are and where you're ready to go.
2. Experience the Transformation – Immerse in meaningful coaching and curated experiences designed to restore your clarity and joy.
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.
You’ll get a more detailed itinerary once you book, but here's an idea of the week:
Day 1: Arrive, exhale, and settle into the rhythm of Tuscany with aperitivo at the estate, sunset reflections, and a welcome dinner at a local trattoria.
Day 2: Begin your personal reset with a guided vineyard walk, journaling in nature, and a firelight ritual to release what no longer serves you.
Day 3: Reconnect with your true self in Florence - exploring Renaissance art, identity, and the beauty of personal expression.
Day 4: Restore your energy at the estate with vitality coaching, movement, and a farm-to-table cooking experience in the olive groves.
Day 5: Envision your next season with a private boat journey along the Cinque Terre coastline and shape your personal map for flourishing.
Day 6: Celebrate your transformation with shared moments, a Michelin-rated dinner, and joyful connection in a Tuscan village.
Day 7: Receive your personalised Flourishing Guide, write a letter to your future self, and return home with clarity, rhythm, and inspiration.
Each day includes optional 1:1 coaching conversations, spaciousness for rest, and the joy of doing less.
