A Seat at the Table
Retreat
GATHER . CELEBRATE . THE ART OF SAVORING LIFE
Meals are never just meals. They're an invitation to slow down, savor, connect, and remember that some of life's most meaningful moments happen around the table.
A Seat at the Table is an invitation to experience this way of living.
Date - Sep 23 - 28, 2027 | Days - 6 Days, 5 Nights
The Italian table has always been about more than food.
It's about making room for one another.
It's where conversation is savored, hospitality is practiced, and ordinary moments become unforgettable.
In a culture that values connection over convenience, the table reminds us that some of life's richest moments are the ones we choose to share.

Getting to Tuscany
Please plan to arrive at Florence Airport (FLR) between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM on the first day of the retreat.
Florence is the recommended arrival airport and offers the easiest journey to our retreat home in Tuscany. A group shuttle will be provided from Florence Airport to the retreat property.
If you find a more convenient or affordable flight into Rome (FCO), that's a wonderful option too. Italy's high-speed train system makes traveling from Rome to Florence simple and comfortable.
No matter which airport you choose, we'll make sure you have everything you need to arrive with ease.
If you'd like assistance planning your flights, we're happy to connect you with our trusted travel advisor.
Day 2 | Gather
The best conversations are never rushed.
Today, we'll begin experiencing Tuscany the way locals have for generations.
Our morning begins with wellness before heading into the countryside to visit local vineyards, where we'll learn about the region's winemaking traditions and enjoy a thoughtfully curated tasting.
We'll return to the villa for an unhurried evening, gathering once again around the table to savor good food, meaningful conversation, and the simple joy of being fully present.

Day 3 | Make Room for Beauty
The spaces we create shape the lives we live.
Today we'll spend the day exploring Florence, a city that has inspired artists, makers, and dreamers for centuries.
As we wander its streets, visit artisan workshops, browse neighborhood boutiques, and pause in local cafés, we'll discover that beauty here isn't reserved for museums, it's woven into everyday life.
Perhaps that's one of Tuscany's greatest lessons. Living well isn't about perfection.
It's about choosing beauty in the ordinary.

Day 4 | Create
Every meal tells the story of the hands that prepared it.
Today, we'll step into the kitchen to experience one of Tuscany's greatest traditions—making food together.
Alongside local chefs, we'll learn the art of crafting fresh pasta and authentic Italian pizza before gathering around the table to enjoy the meal we've created.
Because sometimes the greatest gift isn't what's served...
It's who we become while making it together.

Day 5 | Savor
When we slow down, ordinary moments become extraordinary.
Our final full day is intentionally spacious.
Take time to rest by the pool, journal beneath the Tuscan sun, wander the property, or simply enjoy doing nothing at all.
As evening falls, we'll gather one last time for a farewell dinner, reflecting on the conversations, friendships, and moments that shaped our week together.
Because the table isn't just where we shared meals. It's where we built community.

Day 6 | Sweet Salutations & Safe Journeys
Every gathering comes to an end, but the memories around the table stay with us.
We'll share one final breakfast together before saying our heartfelt goodbyes and beginning our journey home.
As you leave Tuscany, I hope you carry with you more than beautiful photographs and unforgettable meals.
I hope you return with a renewed appreciation for gathering, a slower rhythm, and the reminder that some of life's richest moments are the ones we choose to share.
Until we gather again, may your travels be safe, your heart be full, and your table always have room for one more.
