Masseria Pizzafalcone
Salento Region, Italy
June 8-13, 2026
the Nature as Muse Retreat will explore nature and culture through the senses as a pathway to creativity and restoration.
This retreat is an invitation to reconnect with our wise perceptual systems—sight, sound, taste, touch, smell, and the powerful, often overlooked, internal senses. We can’t think of a better place than Southern Italy in early June. From the scent of ancient olive groves to the azure waters of the Adriatic to the mosaics of the 11th-century Otranto Cathedral, this retreat is designed to immerse us into the vibrant, healing delights of the Salento region. Guided by Florence and Manuela Siegfried.
