Sept 2018 – Veneto Italy Retreat with Jayme Barrett

La Dolce Vita in Veneto Italy!

(Venice, Verona & Vino)

September 7 – 14 2018

Would you like to be luxuriating in beautiful Veneto Italy on September 7th? For the past seven years, it has been my joy to lead rejuvenation retreats with my husband in Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Morocco. On this eighth year, we’re excited to return to Veneto, one of our favorite regions of Italy. Our home for the week is 45 minutes north of Venice… a boutique hotel in San Pietro di Feletto with stunning views overlooking ‘The Prosecco Road,’ one of the oldest and most breathtaking wine routes in Italy.

We’ll be visiting historic cities and terraced vineyards in this romantic region known for its spectacular landscapes, Venetian villas, Renaissance architecture and delicious Italian food and wine.

We have a limited amount of spaces available and it is first-come, first-served with a deposit. If you are serious about joining us, email us here as soon as possible to secure your space. (Retreat pricing below.)

Ladies, if you want to relax, recharge and let go of all responsibilities, this is the retreat for you! You’ll open your heart, connect, laugh and indulge in the sweet life. 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 tools 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 shops on the canals, photograph Venetian architecture, enjoy views from the Rialto Bridge and take a boat ride down the Grand Canal), Verona (visit Juliet’s romantic courtyard, stroll through Roman ruins, enjoy vistas from the 100 BC ancient bridge and lunch in one of Italy’s most beautiful cities), Padua (admire frescoes in world-famous chapels, enjoy botanical gardens, visit the 11th century university and shop while drinking a cappuccino in ancient piazzas), and explore the The Prosecco Road with a wine-tasting at a unique women-owned organic winery and a visit to the marvelous Palladian Villa Barbaro in the countryside. Our trip wouldn’t be complete without a special half-day Veneto Cooking Class (including dinner & Prosecco) at a beautiful countryside 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.
