PAST EVENTS – April 20-26, 2022
RETREAT OF A LIFETIME
Join us in the quiet Italian countryside of Montepulciano for our long-awaited “Retreat Of A Lifetime” at Relais Ortaglia and Villa Cicolina. Spend 7 life-changing days (6 nights) learning to manifest your ideal life in Montepulciano, Italy with Villa Owner Sandy Ferretti, Gianna Vallefuoco, Sandy Abrams, and Elia Nichols. Get ready to learn concrete ways to optimize your life through breath, voice, posture, intuition, and creativity. In addition to improving our lives, our extraordinary agenda includes a variety of unforgettable experiences.
We’ve designed an intimate Tuscany retreat that will be life changing. Our intent is that the momentum of this experience will stay with you for long afterwards. With a maximum of 15 participants, this will be a unique and extraordinary retreat. It will stimulate all the senses, as we connect with nature, celebrate food and wine in a mindful and intuitive way, and explore this magical land. We will reset and restore in the Italian hot springs and relax with a spa massage at the indulgent Bagno Vignoni spas. We will cook and savor the flavors of fresh farm to table food. We will draw, paint, journal and celebrate the visual arts, releasing judgement and self doubt, while finding the space and the will to create. No art experience required!

ALIGN, BREATHE, CREATE – FIRENZE
Join us to quite literally “align” on this special collaboration with Elia Nichols, renowned teacher of voice, posture, and body alignment. Elia is a Public Speaking and Communication coach, TV and film actress, voiceover artist, and professor. You can watch Elia nightly on RAI TV (national Italian television) and Netflix. In addition, she is one of the two co-founders of F.E.S.T.A. Theatre Company and produces and acts in many of its productions.
ELIA will lead us through practical tools such as correct posture and breathing, movement control, and she will share how to express sentiments with one’s voice and body. She will bring a new level of confidence to how you move through life.
SANDY will share key excerpts from her newest book “Breathe To Succeed,” and lead us through breath practices for harnessing the creative mindset. You will learn real time methods to regulate emotions through the power of breathwork. These tools will affect your life in ways you never expected.
GIANNA will lead us through an art and mindfulness class using pen and watercolors to create your own mandalas. No prior art training needed. You will find the innate artist within you as she shares powerful mindfulness principles for cultivating curiosity, courage, and self compassion, while minimizing self judgement. These are tools for both creative and emotional freedom.
This Florentine workshop will encompass breath, art, voice, and mindfulness in a way that is accessible to all. No experience required! Always expect a little neuroscience, and a lot of laughter and creative expression. Uniting in Florence is very meaningful for the three of us. Florence is Gianna’s former home, Elia’s current home, and Sandy’s dream home. Together, we will also be leading a week-long retreat in the countryside of Tuscany (details above).
