Reconnect to your body, creativity and nature with Constance
About the course
This retreat is organized by Constance of SOPRA SOTTO together with Max Zara, a fashion ('body') designer and embodiment coach. Joining us as well are Anna, for daily yoga and meditation, and Saraamina & Adele of 'Earth Body' for sharing their herbal wisdom.
Against the lush backdrop of the Volterra countryside, our retreat takes place at the Transmission School, an international centre for conscious, holistic and transformative teachings. We are welcomed at this beautiful location that fosters communal, harmonious and natural living.
We will explore the senses, feminine energy, creative expression, embodied movement, and how to live in synergy with the rhythms of nature's cycles. This will be done through art workshops, women's circles, sensual dancing, nature hikes, and heart-opening cacao ceremonies.
Indulge your senses with Earth BodΗ£, an ode to the beauty of nature and a collaborative project by Adele and Saraamina, a plantά«loving, earthά«stewarding duo. Combining their background in hospitality and events with their passion for herbalism, floristry, and cyclical living, they share immersive floral workshops, guided tea meditations, and botanical musings to bring people back to themselves through community and nature.
