If you’re on social media, you may have seen the TWO INCREDIBLE BONUSES that were recently added to THE ARRIVAL retreat package. If you haven’t, then this important announcement is specifically for you (because I don’t want anyone to miss out on these fantastic Italian-experience opportunities)!
THE BONUSES.
RETREAT BONUS #1: Experience Intrigue Inside a Medieval Castle
On Monday, May 21, you will receive a guided tour at the amazing Malaspina di Fosdinovo Castle (and learn about the romantically tragic legend that surrounds this impressively built 12th century fortress).
Villa Magnolia is situated in magical Lunigiana, the historical territory within La Spezia (a province in Liguria) and Massa-Carrara (my province in Tuscany). Its borders derive from Luni, an ancient Roman settlement. Lunigiana is known as both “The Land of the Moon” and also “Land of 100 Castles.” During the Middle Ages, there were 160 castles in Lunigiana (including castles like Fosdinovo where Dante, the famous 13th century Italian poet, stayed).
RETREAT BONUS #2: Drink Wine, Cook, and Dine with an Italian Chef
On Tuesday, May 22, you will learn how to make your own handmade pasta, expertly guided throughout the process by Alan Balzano (the retreat chef, and also my dear friend).
An amazing experience – from mixing the ingredients to kneading and rolling the dough to shaping and hanging the noodles – all in Italian! You’ll realize how easy it is to communicate universally, with just hand gestures and laughter (plus a little Google Translate) . . . exactly the kind of global understanding that the world needs right now! ❤️
And of course, after all of your effort, the grand finale will be eating the masterpiece you’ve created (probably the most deliciously satisfying pasta you’ll ever taste)!
Yes! When you attend my retreat in Italy this May, you’ll check both EXPLORE A CASTLE and PASTA MAKING LESSON WITH AN ITALIAN CHEF off your bucket list!
