Early Autumn in Tuscany
5th-11th October 2024
Join us for early autumn in the Italian countryside. Escape for a 6 nights stay at Ebbio, a 12th-century restored farmhouse nestled on a 7-hectare organic farm between Siena and Florence. In addition to daily practice in Ebbio’s fully-equipped, rustically-arched yoga shala, you can expect robust vegetarian Tuscan cuisine with produce sourced from Ebbio’s organic farm, dips in nearby rivers, hikes through olive groves, a cooking class, shopping in nearby Siena (20 mins drive) and Monteriggioni (15 min walk), a cozy fire under the stars, and ample time to rest, read, relax. Everything is optional! This will be an intimate retreat capped at 14 guests.
YOur hosts
Meredith [Boston] and Katherine [London] both trained with The Sacred Fig, and first connected at a retreat in Colorado run by a close mutual friend of theirs. Since then, a seeded idea has grown and bloomed into this retreat. Meredith has no doubt forged a sturdy path in Boston’s yoga community alongside her work as a ceramic artist, while Katherine wanders through her teaching journey alongside being an actor in London. These two will collaboratively create a rich and diverse week of both body and soul nourishing adventure, with plenty of time to rest along the way … and maybe sample some gorgeous Italian wines.
