UMBRIA RETREAT MARCH 2024
Nestled in the breathtaking hills of Tenuta di Murlo, the April edition of Shayna’s Serene Soul Retreat was a journey of self-discovery, nourishment, and deep connection. Held at the historic Castiglione Ugolino, this retreat brought together like-minded souls for a week of rejuvenation, set against the rolling landscapes of Umbria, Italy.
Each day was carefully curated to nurture both body and mind. Guests enjoyed gut-focused, Italian-inspired meals crafted by a private chef under Shayna’s guidance, ensuring both vitality and indulgence with every bite.
The retreat experience was deeply immersive, blending movement, mindfulness, and creative expression:
- Morning yoga and movement led by Giulia, awakening the body and spirit
- Authenticity workshops that fostered connection through shared stories, smudging ceremonies, and a powerful dance release ritual
- Find Your Voice workshop, where guests activated their chakras through song and self-affirmation
- Mindfulness ceramics, allowing creativity to flow through hands and clay
- Pizza-making with The Pizza Guys, an authentic Napoli-style experience using locally sourced ingredients
- Beehive exploration, offering a fascinating look into the wisdom of nature
- Silent meditation walk, inviting guests to be fully present in the beauty of the Italian countryside
- Gua Sha and Matcha Face Mask with Shayna and Olga, blending skincare with relaxation
- Bonfire intention setting, where guests released what no longer served them, under the starlit Umbrian sky
This soulful retreat left guests feeling nourished, aligned, and deeply connected, a true embodiment of serenity and transformation in one of Italy’s most magical settings.
