Umbria Italy lakefront retreat

Spiritual Wellness Retreat at Luxury Villa in Umbria, Italy: October 2024

I am thrilled to announce the official date of our next Shayna’s Serene Soul Wellness Retreat: October 7th-12th, 2024! 

If you would like to join me and like-minded souls for a holistic wellness retreat at a luxurious villa in Umbria, Italy, please apply now on my website. To maintain an intimate and personalized experience, we limit each retreat to just 10 guests.

Natural Serenity Meets Italian Luxury

When I lived in California, my dream was to escape the city and move to Umbria to cultivate a biodynamic farm, nurture my soul, and heal my body from gut and skin health issues. In 2022, I took a leap of faith and fulfilled this dream. All that I have learned through my own personal journey goes into designing my retreats to empower women to discover and honor their authentic selves. 

From the moment you step foot into Umbria, the green heart of Italy, you will be blown away by its truly unparalleled abundance of unspoiled rural land and agriculture.

As a chef, culinary artisan, and holistic nutritionist focused on gut health, I truly believe that food (of high-quality, organic ingredients) is medicine. Our health and wellness comes down to our intentions and choices about the food we eat and the environment we live in. 

I personally curate my retreats to be the perfectly peaceful blend of nature, comfort, luxury, and holistic wellness: organic and zero-mile, locally grown food; workshops focused on gut health, nutrition, creativity, and mindfulness; stunning architecture, breathtaking landscapes, captivating art, and rich history and culture.

Villa Battisole at Monte del Lago

Our next retreat will be hosted in the magnificent village of Monte del Lago at the sun-kissed Villa Battisole, perched on a hill with stunning 360° views of Lake Trasimeno and small islands. Featuring custom furniture, original art, and gorgeous, colorful window views that resemble Renaissance paintings, Villa Battisole boasts an outdoor fireplace, a multi-level guesthouse, vaulted ceilings, a gym outfitted in the old hay barn, a tennis court, a bocce court, and a panoramic infinity pool.

Reconnect, Rejuvenate, Transform

The theme of our upcoming retreat will be Reconnect, Rejuvenate, Transform. 

We’ll enjoy daily movement, sound healing, guided meditations, yoga, creative workshops, gut health and nutrition masterclasses, and invigorating hikes in the Umbrian countryside. Special experiences include olive oil mill touring and tasting, organic wine tasting, a boat trip, a private beach, and a cooking class with Shayna and Nonna. All meals will be gut-healthy and farm-to-table, cooked by a private chef. 

As I invite my global community to join me on an upcoming and unforgettable journey, I reflect on our previous retreats with immense gratitude and joy. Creating these sacred spaces has given me the honor of witnessing the magic of friendship, self-discovery, personal growth, spiritual healing, and holistic transformation.

Our retreats are designed to help you reconnect with yourself, connect with like-minded souls, create a sisterhood, rejuvenate your spirit, and transform your life in a supportive and luxurious setting.
