Reconnect and Renew: a Wellness Retreat in Tuscany
July 18 to 25, 2026
Le Pianore – Monticello Amiata
Reconnect and Renew
Reconnect and Renew is a project that began in 2019 and was first implemented last year, with the aim of bringing us back to our senses and the joy of simple gestures. The speed of everyday life distances us from the world around us: screens occupy the space of horizons, constant noises fill the place of silence.
This retreat is an invitation to stop, breathe, and recover a more natural rhythm, where every moment can become a pleasure. During the week, we will cultivate connection with ourselves and authentic contact with the people around us… a return to presence, to the earth, and to the beauty of simplicity.

Rite “with-touch”
Immersed in the green Tuscan countryside, participants will have the opportunity to practice yoga, work on movement, explore breathing techniques, and immerse themselves in the power of mantras.
The seminar aims to offer a transformative experience, in which each participant can acquire knowledge and awareness that will enrich their daily life. The main goal is to help everyone become more aware of themselves, their bodies, their emotions, and their thoughts.
This will be achieved by creating a space for sharing where everyone can rediscover the harmony between body and mind, improving their inner connection and their connection with the surrounding environment.
With an approach that integrates the disciplines of yoga, meditation, and mindful mobility, the central idea is that contact, understood as mindful attention to the perception of oneself, one’s surroundings, and one’s relationships with those around us, can lead to an overall improvement in well-being, promoting greater harmony between body, mind, and spirit.
Only by changing our perceptual experience do we have the opportunity to interact differently with thoughts, feelings, and situations that may arise during our journey. Through physical, emotional, and mental contact with others and ourselves, we will work to share a new experience of self.
The seminar is structured to allow each individual to take away exercises and p

Walk through the Estate & Herb Gathering (Foraging)
A sensory journey through the property, to the statue of Cautha, guardian of the river. We will gather wild herbs to discover their properties and benefits, letting their scents, colors, and textures guide us. A practice of pure connection with nature, its riches, and our ability to perceive them.
Creative Ceramics with Olivia
In Olivia’s home-workshop, we will let our hands and colors become a bridge to our most creative side. Modeling clay, feeling its softness, playing with shapes and shades: an experience of deep contact with living materials and an invitation to create something that speaks about us. A moment of joy, expression, and connection with art.
Day at Uccellina Park & Yoga on the Sand
A day in a nature reserve, surrounded by sea, wind, and rejuvenating silence. We will walk on the sand, rest in the shade of the pine forest, and dive into the sea. On the beach, we will practice yoga and mobility barefoot, feeling the soft, warm sand beneath us. An invitation to reconnect with our bodies through contact with new, free, and natural surfaces.
Forest Bathing with Elena
Guided by Elena, we will enter the forest in silence, allowing ourselves to be enveloped by the breath of the trees. A ritual of deep listening, in which nature perceives us and we learn to perceive it. Step by step, the connection with the trees becomes a dialogue: they welcome us, we learn to hear them. An experience of presence, grounding, and returning to our natural rhythm.
