12-14 June & 6-8 September
This summer and autumn I’m offering two SlowLife Retreats.
In June and September, still in the same magical, very quiet luxury location, in the hills of Tuscany, just a few kilometers from the sea…
I invite you to pause for a SlowLife moment of #quietluxury. Connect with your capacity for slowness and discover the little pleasures of quiet luxury. With pampering, gentle movement, meditation and quiet reflection you will enjoy three beautiful slow days and come away rested, centred and with the tools to integrate moments of quiet luxury in every day life.
During your exclusive SlowLife retreat you will:
- Discover the principles of slowness
- Practise Meditative Yoga and Yoga Nidra
- Discover how to use nutrition for pleasure and health
- Set personal intentions for integrating slowness in daily life
- Enjoy hearty, abundant brunches and slow Mediterranean dinners using seasonal, healthy, organic, local, vegetarian produce
- Spend time in slowness and relaxation by the beach
- Have an opportunity to explore local villages, enjoy walks and go biking
- Enjoy an evening of music and culture
- Be one of only six guests
But of course everything is optional.
Sometimes you may want to just lie by the pool with a good book! This retreat is all about slowness and quiet luxury… listening to yourself, meeting your needs, taking precious time just for you…
When I see the photos of this SlowLife Retreat, I can’t help but smile. What beautiful moments we shared together… The time of a weekend, in this magnificent place in Tuscany, very quiet luxury… The aim of this SlowLife retreat is to make peace with time, to finally be able to do things calmly, at our own pace, while taking part in SlowLife activities that will inspire us and give us all the tools we need to improve our daily lives on our return.
I’ll say no more, the images in this video speak for themselves.
Oh, and one more important thing, this SlowLife Retreat is international and has no language barriers, with many languages mixed in, including English, French, Italian, German and Russian.
Our retreat will be held at the beautiful Podere Le Tassinaie in harmony with the landscape, spirit & tranquility of Tuscany. Our hosts are passionate about the environment and wellbeing; they live this through eco-sustainable production and welcoming guests to enjoy their very magical place.
You can discover more at www.letassinaie.com/en/ which gives just a small idea of the exquisite beauty in which you will be surrounded during your stay – and countless opportunities for small moments of quiet luxury.
- Swimsuit & towel
- Comfortable clothes for yoga and relaxation
- Walking shoes
- Notebook & pen
- Good book
- A scarf to keep you cosy when enjoying the evening outside
- Alarm clock (if you decide to enjoy a digital detox)
If you would like to enjoy your time without your devices you may leave them in the secure safe of Le Tassinaie and collect them as you leave. This is purely optional but I invite you to consider how a device free weekend could help you to fully embrace slowness and connect most deeply with what is important to you. I invite you to consider making this gift to yourself, it will truly support your capacity to find moments of quiet luxury.
Testimonials
“I'd been looking forward to Sandrine's SlowLife retreat all year and was especially curious about the term SlowLife is #quietluxury. And what I expected was simply to meet nice people, eat well, get some exercise, have a good time, but what I really got was much, much more. I felt so rested after those few days, I was so far away from my normal reality. It was the same effect of a vacation that would have lasted 14 days. Everything was perfectly coordinated and brought me into a state of absolute relaxation. The place where we were was incredibly beautiful, and now every time I look at photos I'm immediately in that phase, so I can only recommend doing this SlowLife is #quiet luxury retreat with Sandrine, it's fantastic, the effect is incredible.”
“This retreat has given me an inner calm that I've rediscovered and that I'd never envisaged because my life is hectic, a constant race with all the things I have to do, all my appointments. This Slow Life retreat gave me a lot of strength, a lot of calm and also a lot of self-awareness. It gave me the strength to be able to have goals that I'd always set myself but was afraid to have as goals.”
“This SlowLife retreat is a special time to refocus, find your own rhythm and live fully in contact with nature and with others.
It allowed me to taste the luxury of having the time to dedicate to myself. In everyday life, family and work don't allow you to do that. Well, you take care of yourself, but in a different way. And this retreat in this very quiet place has enabled us to reconnect with ourselves and open up to others.”
``For me this SlowLife retreat was an opportunity to have time for myself, which is difficult in this hectic routine of home-work-family-everyday, I was able to find time for me , in this location that is fantastic, this Tuscan nature that surrounds us. This retreat filled my heart and soul. Merci Sandrine``
``Let's begin with with the space, Le Tassinaie it's an oasis, you're here from Friday until Sunday, there's nowhere to go, and I have to say the guidance of Sandrine, her leadership has been flawless ....it has been easy for me to take my time and to be more conscious. Conscious of my material things, to be more conscious of what I feel and that's a luxury, to be able to take the time to grow oneself and to meet other people.``
``This retreat brought me peace, tranquility. I discovered things about myself. I enjoyed being in the middle of nature and not in the chaos of the city. I enjoyed not thinking about anything and simply being well.``
