“You always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself”
Glinda the Good Witch, Wizard of Oz, Frank Baum
Imagine Yourself after a week of discovery and reflection sharing personal stories and deep conversations with other courageous women dedicated to their healing and growth.
We heal in community.
Tuscany is the perfect place to reset!
Here we will dedicate time and energy to mutually support our courage, perseverance, endurance, and letting go of what no longer serves us, paving the way for our authentic selves to flourish.
Avanti features amazing healing modalities, including breath-work, meditation, journaling, expressive arts, recovery coaching, and somatic massage, all designed specifically to facilitate your recovery. You will find ways to move past sadness and hurt, creating space to live alongside new exciting possibilities with the confidence to be you, unapologetically!
Avanti is a journey of growth, recovery, and healing. You will cultivate a wonderful sense of freedom. You will have the tools to step back from the fear that has held you back and step into a life filled with possibility.
Set in the lush hills of the Italian countryside, this retreat was created by Susan Ball, Christine Queerheart, and Sasha Samuels especially for women who are ready to dedicate time and space to moving forward in a life of deep healing and joy. We will renew old passions and uncover new ones, deepen our sense of purpose, and create meaningful friendships with other soulful women.
Join us in Italy, where the incredible surroundings will offer up the deep reset you deserve and desire.
