ITALY SUMMER RETREAT
SLOW FLOW & DEEP RELAXATION
a Slow Flow & Restore + Meditation Yoga Retreat
Make time to ground your body, quiet your mind, and deeply restore the Self.
6-DAY YOGA + MEDITATION RETREAT WITH LAVINIA
July 6th - July 11th, 2025
Join Lavinia for a grounding and deeply restoring summer retreat at the beautiful Locanda della Quercia Calante near Orvieto. You will feel completely re-centered, relaxed, and revitalized after this experience together!
This mindfulness retreat includes Slow Flow Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Meditation classes. Our sessions will incorporate yoga practices such as grounding movement, purifying breathing techniques, chanting, and guided meditations designed specifically to help us process anxiety, fear and uncertainty. At this time of great unknown, there is nothing more important than slowing down and giving the body, mind, and soul time to assimilate change and reflect while experiencing deep rest and release.
The retreat will take place near Orvieto, Italy only 1.5 hours from Rome. Surrounded by rolling hills and nature, The Locanda is a spectacular agriturismo with a spacious outdoor yoga shala and all props you need for yoga and restoration. The Locanda also features an energizing water pool, holistic spa center, and an outstanding restaurant serving locally grown, vegetarian cuisine. During your free time you will have the option to sign up for a massage, a vegetarian cooking class and/or an oil tasting. Optionally we will journey to magical Orvieto to visit the specatural cathedral, and partake in a guided tour of the subterranean ancient city.
Single, Double, and Triple occupancy rooms are available for this retreat. Each room includes its own private bath 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!
WHAT'S INCLUDED: Morning meditation and luxuriously long yoga classes in a large covered outdoor yoga shala, three delicious, farm-to-table vegetarian/vegan meals per day, use of the swimming pool, optional massage, vegetarian cooking class and group excursion to magical Orvieto to include a guided subterranean tour of the town, coffee/tea service, fresh fruit, and shared or private accommodations.
EARLY BIRD: Pay in Full by 12/01 and get €100 OFF.
GETTING THERE: Just 100 minutes from the Rome's city center by car or by train to Orvieto, then taxi. We can arrange a pick-up service at the train station upon request, or we will be happy to help you arrange to carpool with other participants.
