It is time once again for THE ARRIVAL. I am formally inviting you, the woman with the intrepid soul, to join me in Tuscany this October. And I sincerely hope you will accept my invitation.
Why? Because I want you to stop imagining your best life, and begin living it instead. I want you to embark on a self-discovery journey, while exploring my 7 essential elements. I want you to stop hiding, stop pretending, stop doing whatever it is that keeps you small. It’s okay to relax and let go at Villa Magnolia. This is a retreat-no-more experience, but my home is a serene and unique haven of healing. It will hold you close, while you take those tentative-but-necessary first steps.
I want you to come even if you’re not feeling particularly bold right now. In fact, I think you should especially come if you’ve been unable to connect to your inner courage lately. We both know it’s there. But sometimes it needs a little coaxing.
You are probably wondering why I decided to move to Italy and host my retreats here, when most of my clients live in the states. Well, travel is actually a very important feature of THE ARRIVAL, a lovely metaphor regarding movement in one’s life.
Pico Iyer said it best when he described the travel experience as . . . “a heightened sense of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity, and ready to be transformed.” And his words dovetail nicely with those written by a recent retreat participant:
“Good morning from Villa Magnolia. Been up for a couple hours and the wind has blown, the sun has shined and had a down pour… kind of like life. You have times of sunshine times of rain. But during it all just like the wind we keep moving. Being in Italy and stopping and looking at the view, listening to the birds or cars go by reminds me that I don’t do these things at home. Sure I go for my walk but I don’t really see anything, I don’t look for anything and I block out noises that we take for granted. This trip has been an eye opener and so blessed to be here for the reminder.”
Is it time to travel to Italy? Is it time to reawaken your essence? You can do it, and I can help. With passport in hand, circle October 22 through 27 on your calendar and begin planning your travel. Welcome the life-changing magic!
