italyEUROPEmay 2026the art of piacere
[ OVERVIEW ]in italy, pleasure is not an indulgence; it is a sacred art form.
this 5-day journey is a devotion to that art. we are not here to "see" italy; we are here to feel it. we will unlearn the modern gospel of "hurry" and return to the profound intelligence of the senses.
our days will be a slow, curated symphony of feeling. we will greet the sun with embodied yoga, finding our center in the stillness of the countryside. we will practice the earthy alchemy of a hands-on pasta-making class, connecting our hands to our nourishment. we will hold our meditations among the vineyards, breathing in the ancient terroir at golden hour.
we will awaken our inner creator, first by bearing witness to the masters on a private art gallery excursion, then by finding our own hand in an intimate art class.
this is not a vacation. it is a sensory reclamation. it is a sacred invitation to remember that pleasure is a portal to the divine, and that to feel good is your most essential, creative, and artful state of being.

[ HIGHLIGHTS ]the art of pleasure
the sensory table
this is a journey of pleasure as nourishment. we will connect our hands to our food through an earthy, hands-on pasta-making class, and feast together at long, unhurried tables filled with the best of the local harvest.
embodied art
we will awaken our creative spirit by both receiving and expressing. this includes a private excursion to witness the renaissance masters, balanced with our own intimate art class to give form to our inspiration.
the sacred vine
we will connect to the terroir of this ancient land. our meditations will be held at golden hour among the vineyards, followed by curated tastings. this is a soulful connection to the land and its most sacred offering.
the art of the pause
our flow is built around la dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing. this is not a "tour." it is an immersion, with ample, spacious time built in for you to rest, wander the olive groves, or simply be.
program
■
our time is guided by pleasure, not by the clock.
our days are a slow, sensual unfolding. we greet the sun with movement in the tuscan light, spend our afternoons immersed in art and alchemy, and dedicate our golden hours to the vineyards. evenings are for long, soulful dinners, deep connection, and the art of true leisure. this is a supportive rhythm for your sensory reclamation.
-
we will be staying in a private, rusticated villa set among the rolling hills of tuscany. this is not a hotel, but a curated sanctuary of sun-warmed stone, ancient wooden beams, and cool terracotta floors. you will have the choice of a private king suite or a shared (two-person) double room, each artfully designed for rest and inspiration.
