JUST BE: A reset retreat
Amalfi Coast, Italy

August 10-16, 2026

Give yourself permission to relax and unwind, let go of anxiety and pressure, of the need to rush, to perform, to succeed, or to over-function.

 

This is a retreat where we learn how to slow down, calm our nervous system, and enjoy life’s little pleasures. Not by change we are called human beings, not a human doings!

Do You Feel Any of The Following?

  • Feel stuck in several areas of your life

  • Feel that there is "MORE" of you yet cannot pin point your purpose

  • Struggle with reaching your goals

  • Find yourself in unfulfilling relationships

  • Battle addiction of any kind

  • Lost your passion for life

  • Feel like life is a struggle in one or more areas in life

In our western society, stress is a normal part of our lives. We don’t notice how our body is in a constant fight-flight or freeze response, which may cause illness, depression, conflicts in relationships, accidents, anxiety and addictions, among others.

 

Italy is a perfect place to RESET and JUST BE.

A foundational value of the Italian culture is Dolce Far Niente, which translates into “the essence/sweetness of doing nothing and enjoying it”.

 

Nothingness is that pleasant experience of enjoying time going by, letting your thoughts taking over, taking time to inhale the flavor of freshly baked bread, and actually relish a home-made meal. Amalfi coast is perfect for long walks along the beach, sitting at local cafes watching strangers passing by, absorbing the beauty of amazing landscapes from the coasts and seasides to the highest mountains.

That is where dolce far niente is at its best, where all that matters is living the moment. No stress, no pressure, nothing matters; just living in the moment. Time slows and for half a second you admire life in its simplicity, and become the peace, the joy and the love that you seek.

 

During this retreat we will focus on relaxing activities, such as breath work, somatic healing, yoga and meditation to let your parasympathetic system (responsible for rest and digest) to dominate your instead of the usual sympathetic survival stress.
