Join Lavinia, senior yoga teacher and architect, for The Art of Presence—a six-day immersion in yoga, meditation, and Italian culture, set in a new location the heart of the Italy in Umbria right near the Tuscan border.
This mindfulness retreat weaves together Slow Flow and Restorative Yoga, meditation, and carefully curated cultural experiences—from historic towns and architecture to wine tastings in vineyards and locally inspired cuisine. You’ll share the journey with a warm, like-minded community, creating meaningful connections along the way. Each day is designed to support deep restoration through grounding movement, breathwork, chanting, and guided meditation—inviting clarity, presence, and renewal.
Single, Double, and Triple occupancy rooms are available for this retreat. Each room includes private or shared full bathroom and outdoor space to relax and enjoy the beautiful setting.
There are limited slots available on this retreat, so reserve your spot before it sells out!
My aim is to create a sustainable retreat model unlike most currently offered. In order to do so I have decided to transition to smaller scale groups keeping the prices as low as possible and yet offering the comforts and intimacy of home while maintaining a high standard of hospitality. These retreats are specifically designed to be eco-friendly by engaging and giving back to locals such as home caretakers, farmers and chefs to build a more equitable tourism model of mindfulness and yoga. In doing so, not only will we be able to travel and practice yoga in magnificent places worldwide but we will also be creating a Sangha, which means a spiritual community of like-minded people to inspire and create change in the world.
I truly hope you will join me on this next adventure!
GETTING THERE: Just 100 minutes from Rome's city center by car or by train to Orvieto, then taxi. The Locanda can arrange a pick-up service at the train station on request.
