This retreat is a personal development experience of one kind for the diversity of experiences that are included in the programme. This programme is based on understanding and dealing with your own emotions: Anger management Anxiety Self-Esteem and Fear of Judgement Sadness and Frustration ​ What will we do?

You will learn about a more efficient emotional-regulation and how to use your emotions in a more productive way. ​Every day there are thematic counselling group workshops, mindfulness meditation practices and yoga classes, with two tango-therapy and acting workshops in the evenings. Our purpose is to make you able to have a whole picture about your personality, make sense about your emotions and create better relationships. ​Where will we stay? We will stay in Casa Cares, an ancient villa from the 14th Century that has just been renovated. Casa Cares is equipped with there are several cowsy rooms that we will use for our emotional workshops and a big theatre where mindfulness, yoga, tango and acting classes with take place. Sharing is a big part of our experience, and this is true also for the accomodation: the majority of rooms are shared doubles, but there are a few single rooms if you prefer. There is a large olive-yard, where Giordano, the local farmer, will organize for us a unique oil-tasting experience; an amazing sunset view on the hills and the possibility of barbecueing or having a bonfire, and even a terrace for outdoor dancing! Meals will be prepared by Casa Cares with their delicious home-made organic cuisine; it's possible to accomodate any dietary requirements. ​How to get there? The location we chose, is in the area of Florence. You can fly to Florence, Pisa, Milan or Rome.
