I’ve been talking a lot about all of the amazing things that are going to happen during my retreat. A visit to a romantically tragic castle, a pasta-making lesson with an Italian chef, a healing body/mind treatment with a licensed massage therapist, a day trip to the breathtaking Cinque Terre, a farewell lunch at a 17th century casale farmhouse. But these are just the EXTRAS!

What about the nitty-gritty? What makes up the core of my essence7 philosophy that I will be sharing with my guests? What is the true purpose of THE ARRIVAL, so important to me that I am inviting women into my own home? What actually happens within the magically healing walls of Villa Magnolia? And how can it help YOU?

Well, tell me. How many times have you done what’s expected (or accepted)? Sacrificed your own wants and needs in order to take care of everyone else’s? Surrendered your own dreams because it seemed the safer path?

I love working with women who are experiencing major transitions in their lives (empty nest, divorce, career change or retirement, new relationship, grief and loss) and are NO LONGER WILLING TO WAIT to chase-and-capture their dreams. Women who are willing to deeply explore their feelings and maneuver around their roadblocks.

My move to Italy has been an embodiment of pursuing my own dream through my changing life, and I’ve been very open about not only the wonders but the difficulties of it all. And I want to share what has helped me with my transition.

My 7 essential elements will be introduced, explored, and distilled during our five days together. AWARENESS. MOVEMENT. NOURISHMENT. VOICE. ZEST. GRIT. UNTETHERED INTEGRATION. These simple but life-changing tools will help you address any lingering emotional issues that make it difficult to move past setbacks. They will assist you as you begin paying attention to your deepest desires, and they will generate hope and excitement for your life adventures that lie ahead.

So what will THE ARRIVAL actually be like? Well, since you’ll be in my home, I can assure you it will be real and honest. You’ll get a close-up view of what it’s like living in Italy. The week will also be a mixture of smiles and tears, laughter and love, raw emotion and breakthroughs, grief and light. As you support one another and dig deep to discover who you are and what you’re all about. Genuine deliciousness.

I think your dreams matter. And I think it’s time to embrace them. I can help you stop imagining your best life and begin living it instead. I can gently (or not so gently) nudge you in the direction you wish to go. It’s okay to be afraid. We’re all afraid at times, especially when we’re in unfamiliar settings. But removing yourself from your familiar environment, traveling far beyond what you ever imagined possible (both geographically and emotionally), allows you to see things in a new way. And THAT is precisely when the magic happens.

May 20-25. I’ll be here to take your hand and walk you through your fears.
