Early Autumn in Tuscany
5th-10th October 2024
Join us for early autumn in the Italian countryside. Escape for a 6 nights stay at Ebbio, a 12th-century restored farmhouse nestled on a 7-hectare organic farm between Siena and Florence. In addition to daily practice in Ebbio’s fully-equipped, rustically-arched yoga shala, you can expect robust vegetarian Tuscan cuisine with produce sourced from Ebbio’s organic farm, dips in nearby rivers, hikes through olive groves, a cooking class, shopping in nearby Siena (20 mins drive) and Monteriggioni (15 min walk), a cozy fire under the stars, and ample time to rest, read, relax. Everything is optional! This will be an intimate retreat capped at 14 guests.
Please note that in order to make this retreat as accessible as possible, we've gone with an "a la carte" model. Your booking includes your accommodation + daily brunch + 2 dinners. Yoga will be offered 2x daily at a drop-in rate, and additional activities (such as a cooking class, massages, wine tastings, horse riding, etc) will be for additional fees. Please see "included and not included" section for more details.
If you are a digital nomad / remote worker, feel free to use this as a ‘working holiday’, where you can relax in community with others, have your meals taken care of, drop into yoga classes and live in a different environment with others for 5 nights.
YOur hosts
Meredith [Boston] and Katherine [London] both trained with The Sacred Fig, and first connected at a retreat in Colorado run by a close mutual friend of theirs. Since then, a seeded idea has grown and bloomed into this retreat. Meredith has no doubt forged a sturdy path in Boston’s yoga community alongside her work as a ceramic artist, while Katherine wanders through her teaching journey alongside being an actor in London. These two will collaboratively create a rich and diverse week of both body and soul nourishing adventure, with plenty of time to rest along the way … and maybe sample some gorgeous Italian wines.
