Sept 2017 – Veneto Italy Retreat with Jayme Barrett

Infuse Your Spirit in Northern Italy! 

September 18 – 25 2017

 

Would you like to be luxuriating in Veneto Italy on September 18th? For the past six years I’ve been leading magical retreats with my husband in Italy, Spain and Morocco and this year we’re excited to debut the beautiful region of Veneto in Northeastern Italy. Our home base will be a boutique hotel with a stunning view in San Pietro di Feletto, situated along ‘The Prosecco Road,’ one of the oldest and most breathtaking wine routes in Italy.

Just one hour north of Venice, we’ll be visiting historic cities, quaint small towns and terraced vineyards in this romantic region known for its spectacular landscapes, Venetian villas and delicious Italian food and wine.

We have only 12 spots and it is first-come, first-served with a deposit. It will fill up very quickly! If you are serious about joining us, email us here as soon as possible to secure your space. (Retreat pricing below.) Be ready to open your heart and have fun with like-minded new friends. Read the fabulous details and may you be as inspired as I am!  – Jayme Barrett

Join best-selling author Jayme Barrett on her 8 day Italian Adventure and learn techniques to manifest your heart’s desires while energizing your body, mind and spirit. Set against the dramatic Dolomite mountain range, you’ll be enveloped in the beauty of Veneto’s cities and countryside… and charmed by the Italian people, well-known for their warmth, exuberance and hospitality.

We’ll delight in delicious Italian food and wine, enjoy yoga and manifestation classes, walk in the countryside and be surrounded by spectacular views at our boutique hotel. On our day trips, we’ll visit the floating city of Venice, (explore the canals, photograph Venetian architecture and take a boat down the Grand Canal), Asolo and Bassano del Grappa (stroll and lunch in these quaint hill towns known for their elegance and beauty), Padua (shop in famous outdoor markets, admire frescoes and drink cappuccinos in ancient piazzas), and explore the “La Strada del Prosecco” with a visit to a women-owned organic winery and to the marvelous Palladian Villa Barbaro. Our trip wouldn’t be complete without a special Veneto Cooking Class at a beautiful inn with a breath-taking vista.

Come rejuvenate in Italy. Let your spirit be infused by Italian culture and discover new ways to create positive energy and momentum in your life. You’ll experience “La Dolce Vita” with like-minded new friends a beautiful part of the world.
