What is GROOVIN’ in Tuscany?
This is the retreat that has it all! It’s the best of nature, food, wine, olive oil, meditation, dance and nurturing your every whim. We are so proud to offer it to you! It is truly over-the-top luxury and joy all wrapped up in one.
In our 8 days and 7 nights together, you will experience authentic Tuscan living, access to olive oil massage therapy, local farmer’s markets, olive oil tasting, a day trip to Florence, a bee and honey extravaganza, a winery tour complete with lunch and wine pairings and meditation and GROOVE‘n! This is unlike any retreat or resort you’ve seen before!
Misty Tripoli will be guiding us in meditation every morning, giving classes on Happiness Mapping, The Power of Thought, and The Art of Listening.
We’ll be staying at a breath-taking, five-star Olive Oil Resort, Villa Campestri, nestled in the peaceful countryside of Tuscany.
We’ve worked closely with Villa Campestri to bring you a hand-tailored experience and we’re looking forward to personally welcoming you to Tuscany. You’ll enjoy food that’s been grown and raised on the grounds of the Villa and move in ways you never thought possible. You will leave this retreat feeling refreshed, grounded, and truly nurtured.

Yep, that’s it. Our goal is to pamper you from start to finish so you can fully enjoy your trip. Let us know when you’re arriving and we’ll take care of you from there.
Who Can Go?
Every woman who wants to come is invited to join us! This is a trip for women, by women and about women. We will be movin’ and GROOVE’N, so we do ask that you’re in good health, and that you bring a lot of comfortable clothes!
