The leaders. The visionaries. The professionals. The public speakers. The creatives with a dream they can no longer ignore.
If you've spent years relying on logic, achievement, or constant momentum to navigate your next move, this is an invitation into another way. Get rooted in presence, intuition, creativity, and the wisdom that has always been within you.
Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Italy, this is more than a retreat. It's an immersive journey to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your inner knowing, and return home with greater clarity, creative freedom, and a deeper trust in how you lead, create, and move through the world.
You want to cultivate nervous system resilience instead of constantly pushing through.
You're craving space for creativity, connection, and experiences that nourish you.
You're ready to trust your intuition instead of searching for answers outside yourself.
You're in a season of expansion and want your inner world to evolve alongside your outer success.
Each day is woven from two landscapes: the beauty of Italy and the landscape within. Every destination—from ancient caves and spacious vineyards to the coastline and the streets of Rome—has been intentionally chosen to support a different stage of your journey.
Through the practice of Akashic Mediumship, you'll strengthen your relationship with your inner knowing. Together, we'll journey through the Four Sacred Directions, each paired with the wisdom of an Archangel. As we move through Italy, we'll also move through an inner landscape: building foundations, exploring timelines, awakening new possibilities, and visioning the life you're here to create.
Throughout this week you'll experience:
Energy Healing and Akashic Guidance on expanded awareness
Creativity, mediumship, and expressive arts as portals for insight and transformation
Akashic breathwork journeys for nervous system regulation
Meaningful connection with a community of like-minded leaders
Spaciousness, beauty, play, and rest
Nestled among the rolling hills of Italy’s Marche region, this retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of life through a different lens.
For five nights, your home will be a peaceful countryside resort surrounded by vineyards and the timeless rhythms of rural Italy. In this sanctuary you will discover the landscapes, flavors, and stories that make Marche one of Italy’s most authentic destinations.
The journey concludes in Rome, where art, beauty, and timeless culture provide the perfect setting to reflect, integrate and apply the experiences shared and the memories created along the way. More than a retreat, this is an opportunity to embrace the essence of Italy: unhurried, meaningful, and deeply connected to yourself, and the world around you.
Upon arrival at Rome Fiumicino Airport, meet your private driver and facilitators Marie & Lisann, and begin a scenic journey into the heart of Italy. Along the way, enjoy a stop in the charming hill town of Spoleto.
Rich in history, culture, and timeless beauty, Spoleto offers the perfect opportunity to ease into the rhythm of the retreat.
Back in 2013, Alberto and his wife Alida left northern Italy in search of a different pace of life, one shaped by the rhythms of the countryside and the craft of winemaking.
During their travels through Marche, they discovered a neglected farmhouse in San Marcello, surrounded by seventeen hectares of vineyards, including fifty-year-old Verdicchio vines. Recognizing the extraordinary potential of the site, they embarked on an ambitious restoration project, bringing both the country house and the historic vineyards back to life.
Today, Filodivino is a refined countryside retreat where contemporary comfort meets the character of the Marche landscape. Surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills, the property offers a sense of space, quiet, and connection to the region that is increasingly rare to find.
Its panoramic spa, infinity pool, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces make it an ideal setting for a retreat centered on creativity, reflection, and meaningful experiences. Whether enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, spending time by the pool, or simply taking in the views across the vineyards, you'll be immersed in the beauty and authenticity of one of Italy's most understated regions.
Why we chose Filodivino
Secluded location surrounded by vineyards and countryside
Elegant accommodations with a strong sense of place
Panoramic spa and infinity pool
A peaceful atmosphere that encourages rest, creativity, and connection
