Italy-040 It has been a long-held dream of mine to bring my work with women to retreats in Tuscany. Italy is one of the dear homes of my heart, and my visits there over the years have been transformative spiritually, personally, and artistically.

A few months ago I realized it had been a decade since I was last in Tuscany. Too long! I started telling people I was going to Italy in September 2017. I really had no idea how this was going to work out, I just started saying it.

Then, on the beautiful juicy Cancer Full Moon a few weeks ago, the lovely Jane Reeves, of Radiant Jane (she’s a wise and loving coach, retreat leader, and yoga instructor) invited me to come along on her La Dolce Vita Castle Retreat in Tuscany in September, as the resident wise woman and moon priestess. I’ll be leading the New Moon ceremony there,  and offering intuitive readings and one-on-one mentoring to retreaters.

This is going to be an exquisite retreat. We’ll be staying in a 15th Century castle on a working farm with vineyards and olive groves… days will be spent in yoga and loving-kindness meditation, exploring the countryside and nearby villages, with special treats like wine tasting and gorgeous meals prepared at the castle. Jane is a special, truly radiant spirit with deep experience leading retreats and leading women towards wellness. I’m honoured, and really beyond excited, to be a part of this gorgeous offering. You can learn more about it here.

This is evidence to me that our dreams come true when we are ready to receive them… and that really is good news. Screen Shot 2017-01-27 at 1.15.22 PMItaly-089
