Return to Inner Harmony in the Wilds of Tuscany

Come and join us!

8-14 October 2025 (6 nights, 7 days, 12 people)

6-9 November 2025 (3 nights, 4 days, 12 people)

This is not a luxury escape — it's a return to the essential.
Reset. Reconnect. Remember.
If you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply called to slow down, this retreat is your invitation to return to what matters — your body, your peace, your truth.
Guided by the healing presence of horses, sound, meditation, and nature, you’ll release chronic stress, rebalance your nervous system, and rediscover clarity, calm, and vitality.

Core practices include:
Horse constellations to uncover inner blocks
Immersive sound healing & meditation
Gentle yoga, mindful coaching, and forest stillness

These embodied experiences create a powerful Cortisol Detox — naturally lowering stress hormones, supporting emotional release, and helping you feel more balanced, centered, and alive. As your nervous system resets, your body follows: stress-related tension melts, sleep rhythms restore, and a sense of physical and emotional lightness begins to emerge, sometimes even releasing excess weight held by chronic stress.

You’ll also enjoy soulful getaways:
A food & wine experience in Siena
A scenic e-bike tour through the Tuscan hills
A rejuvenating soak in natural hot springs

Stay in cozy, restored farmhouses surrounded by vineyards and forests, and nourish yourself with organic, seasonal meals grown right on the land.

Come home to yourself. Let nature, sound, and soul guide the way.

Retreats ROOTS AND RESONANCE - Return to Inner Harmony in the Wilds of Tuscany

Join us for a transformative journey of embodiment, emotional release, and reconnection with the wild wisdom within.


Through Sound Baths, Meditation, Yoga, Group Coaching, and the intuitive power of Horse Constellations, you’ll be guided to release, reconnect, and realign with your truest self.

Balanced by Embodied Explorations — from e-bike rides through golden fields, to ancient hot springs, to the flavors of Siena — each moment becomes a dance between stillness and sensation, healing and joy.

Upon arrival, you’ll receive a thoughtful welcome gift — a collection of meaningful items designed to accompany and support you during the retreat and beyond.

A journey inward, grounded in the beauty of the world around you.

  • Sound Bath
    Each day of the retreat will include immersive Sound Healing journeys, always accompanied by deeply attuned Guided Meditations. These daily sessions create space to release, restore, and realign on physical, emotional, and energetic levels. Feel tension melt away as the resonant frequencies of singing bowls and other instruments gently penetrate your body, dissolving blockages and supporting holistic well-being. This gentle yet powerful practice also supports a natural cortisol detox, as your nervous system relaxes and the body shifts from stress into regeneration — promoting restful sleep, hormonal balance, reduced inflammation, and even healthy weight regulation. Let voice and sound guide you into states of deep relaxation, mental clarity, and emotional balance — a sacred rhythm that grounds, nourishes, and awakens your inner world.
  • Family Constellations with Horses
    You will be invited into the profound field of Horse Constellations — a transformative experience guided by the intuitive presence of horses. Taking place in a secluded nature reserve, surrounded by wild forest and open land, these sessions allow for deep attunement with the natural world. In this untouched environment, the horses act as sensitive mirrors, helping you access emotional truths, release inherited patterns, and reconnect with your authentic self. Held in sacred silence and raw beauty, each encounter opens a doorway into healing, clarity, and embodied inner freedom.







  • Guided Meditation
    Customised Guided Meditations with Sound Healing, designed as transformative journeys. Themes are thoughtfully connected to support emotional release, inner alignment, and lasting integration. Through gentle voice and sound, you’re gently guided toward clarity, healing, and meaningful inner shifts.
  • Dynamic Meditation
    Dynamic Meditation, an expressive and cathartic practice, that involves phases of vigorous movement, shaking, and expressive release. It allows you to release built-up stress, break through emotional blockages, and re-energize the body and mind.


  • Group Reflections
    In this retreat, Group Reflections with Coaching instruments sessions are a powerful container for reflection, clarity, and transformation. Within a safe and supportive circle, participants are guided through deep questions, shared experiences, and conscious dialogue—allowing insights to emerge organically.
    This space is not about advice or instruction, but about awakening your inner wisdom through the presence of others. Together we explore personal intentions, emotional blocks, and the practical steps needed to align your outer life with your inner truth. Every voice matters. Every shift is honored. And every moment becomes an opportunity to remember who you truly are.
  • Yoga
    Each morning begins with a gentle Ashtanga-inspired yoga session, guided by a seasoned professional whose decades of dedicated practice and teaching bring depth, wisdom, and care to every movement. This accessible practice is suitable for all levels, including complete beginners. It’s a mindful way to awaken the body, center the mind, and set a grounded, intentional tone for the day.









  • E-Bike tour, Thermal SPA
    As part of your retreat journey, you’ll ground into the land through sensory experiences—movement, taste, and rest.
    Ride e-bikes along wild forest paths and open meadows, where the raw pulse of nature grounds and invigorates you. Melt into the soothing embrace of natural thermal waters, letting the elements soften and restore every part of you. These embodied moments deepen the retreat journey, anchoring it in the senses.
  • Siena Food&Wine Tour
    In between the deep inner work, you’ll be invited to step into the soul of Tuscany through the flavours, stories, and textures of its most iconic medieval city.
    This curated four-hour experience invites you to explore Siena not only with your eyes, but with all your senses. Guided by a local expert and professional sommelier, you’ll wander the ancient streets and hidden corners of the city, pausing at some of its most beloved restaurants and wine spots. At each stop, you’ll savour authentic Tuscan dishes prepared with seasonal, local ingredients, and taste carefully selected regional wines that reflect the land’s deep connection to tradition.
    As you walk from one location to the next, the journey unfolds like a story — rich with cultural insights, and the unique rhythm of Sienese life. The city itself becomes part of the experience: its ochre-colored buildings, cozy piazzas, and gothic beauty add depth and magic to each bite and sip.
    This isn’t just a tasting tour — it’s a sensory immersion. A way to ground your retreat journey in taste, movement, and connection to place.
    After the tour, you’ll have free time to explore, shop, or simply soak in the vibrant charm of Siena at your own pace.
  • Cacao Ceremony
    We will open the retreat space with a sacred Cacao Ceremony — a heart-opening ritual rooted in ancient traditions. As we gather in circle, cacao supports us in setting intentions, awakening the heart, and stepping into the journey with openness and authenticity
    .
  • Nail Standing
    Nail Standing is an optional transformative practice that invites you to face your inner resistance and connect deeply with your strength and intention. Through breath and presence, this ritual helps you move beyond fear, gain clarity, and embody your commitment to personal growth.

  • Valeria Sigal Escalada
    Valeria is an Agricultural Engineer from Argentina with a Ph.D. in Plant Physiology, earned in the United States. She now lives in Italy producing award-winning olive oil. Beyond her academic and professional accomplishments, she is someone deeply connected to nature, animals, and the quiet wisdom they hold. Over time, her heart guided her toward a path of personal growth, spiritual awareness, and a sincere desire to support others on their healing journeys.

    Drawn to the natural world’s intelligence and the healing presence of animals, Valeria discovered her ability as an Animal Communicator, opening a way to connect with them on a deeper, intuitive level. She has had the privilege of studying — and continues to learn — with Penelope Smith, affectionately known as The Grandmother of Animal Communication, whose teachings have profoundly shaped her journey.

    This calling led her to retreats with horses — including wild mustangs — and to the guidance of wise mentors, both human and animal. Weaving together her love for animals with her desire to support people, Valeria was naturally drawn to Horse-Assisted Family Constellations — a practice where the sensitivity and wisdom of horses help surface what’s often hidden within us, creating space for clarity, emotional release, and meaningful transformation.

    Today, Valeria holds compassionate, nurturing spaces where people can gently reconnect with themselves, guided by the silent, healing presence of horses and the natural world around them. Her work is rooted in presence, deep respect, and the belief that true healing often begins in the heart — beyond words, in quiet moments of awareness and connection.

    How This Retreat Was Born: A Meeting of Paths, Purpose, and Presence
    Sometimes, the most meaningful journeys begin with a quiet moment of resonance — when two souls recognize something familiar in one another, something true.

    That’s how it was for us, Alexandra and Valeria.

    We met here in Tuscany — both far from where we were born, yet deeply at home in the rhythms of nature and the language of the heart. What brought us together was more than shared geography. It was a shared calling: to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves through presence, depth, and the intelligence of life itself.

    Alexandra comes from the world of sound — guiding others through healing frequencies, emotional release, and profound states of awareness. Valeria walks with horses and the spirits of nature, listening to their silent wisdom and helping others uncover hidden emotional patterns through Horse-Assisted Family Constellations.

    At first glance, our paths seemed different — one rooted in vibration, the other in movement and instinct. But what we discovered is that these practices speak the same language. Both create powerful, non-verbal openings for healing. Both invite the nervous system to settle. Both reveal what words cannot reach.

    Together, sound and horses offer something rare: a grounded, intuitive, and deeply embodied field for transformation.

    From this shared understanding, our retreats were born — intimate gatherings in the wild beauty of Tuscany, where sound and silence, presence and release, meet in a space of safety and authenticity.

    We value our partnership deeply — not only for what we each bring, but for what arises between us: a space of trust, attunement, and shared purpose. Each retreat we co-create is an expression of that: a sacred container held with intention and love, where every person is invited to return to their truth.

Restful Stays & Nourishing Meals
During the retreat, you will stay in beautifully restored farmhouses at Tenuta Bio di Paganico surrounded by ancient woodlands and organic vineyards—spaces that invite deep rest, simplicity, and connection with the rhythms of nature. Meals are lovingly prepared using ingredients grown and raised directly on the estate, offering seasonal, organic nourishment that supports both personal renewal and the land’s natural cycles.
Farm-to-Table: Conscious Eating in Nature
Our retreat is hosted within an eco-farm agriturismo, where most of the food we enjoy is grown directly on the land around us. From vibrant vegetables and herbs to sun-ripened fruits and handmade products, everything is cultivated with deep respect for nature and the rhythm of the seasons. Daily meals are prepared using organic, locally sourced ingredients that nourish both body and spirit.

For those who follow a vegetarian lifestyle, delicious and balanced plant-based options will be available at every meal. For those who include animal products in their diet, the farm also raises a heritage breed of cattle in completely natural, free-range conditions. The meat provided is of exceptional quality — ethically raised, hormone-free, and energetically clean, thanks to practices that minimize stress and honor the integrity of the animals.

Every bite is an invitation to connect with the earth, celebrate simplicity, and experience nourishment in its most honest form.
Rooted Rest in Rural Beauty
Each guest will enjoy private single accommodation in a simply restored farmhouse apartment, set among the rolling hills, oak groves, and organic pastures of the estate. The spaces reflect the essence of traditional Tuscan living—humble, warm, and rooted in the rhythms of the land.

Interiors feature classic rural elements such as wooden ceiling beams, terracotta floors, simple wooden furniture, and soft natural light. Each apartment includes a private bathroom, a basic kitchen, and a personal outdoor area like a garden or small veranda—offering everything you need to rest, reflect, and reconnect.

There is no luxury here, but there is authenticity, quiet, and comfort—a setting that gently invites you inward. Guests also have access to a seasonal swimming pool, Wi-Fi, and the surrounding nature that holds space for deep personal renewal.

Testimonials
Feedbacks from people, experiencing the journey with us
  • Amanda
    USA
    “This retreat with Alexandra and Valeria was far beyond anything I imagined. It felt sacred, deeply healing, and truly unforgettable. From the horse constellations to the sound journeys, every practice touched me on both physical and emotional levels. I felt vibrations moving through my heart and spine, and for the first time in a long time, I experienced true stillness.

    Alexandra holds a rare and powerful gift — her presence alone invites deep transformation. It’s as if her work gently reveals what’s been buried inside, and allows it to be seen, felt, and released with love. The space she and Valeria created allowed me to trust, to soften, and to connect with something much greater.

    I can’t describe it in words — it’s something every woman should experience at least once in her life.”
  • Claire L.
    USA
    “I joined the retreat with an open heart but no specific expectations. What unfolded was one of the most powerful and soul-nourishing experiences I’ve ever had.
    Alexandra and Valeria create a space that feels both grounded and sacred — where your nervous system can finally exhale.
    The sound healing sessions were not just relaxing — they shifted something in me. At times I felt as if my whole body was breathing for the first time in years.
    The horse constellation was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It brought emotions to the surface that I didn’t even know I was carrying, and helped me see them with compassion and clarity. I also appreciated the slow rhythm of the retreat — the nature walks, the silence, the delicious organic meals… it all felt intentional. It wasn’t just healing — it was transformational. I came back home lighter, more present, and somehow more myself. I’ve done other retreats before, but nothing has touched me this deeply. I’m so grateful I said yes to this.”
  • Elena

    “This retreat was a truly profound experience. The work with Alexandra and Valeria goes far beyond what words can describe — it touches something essential inside. Their presence, guidance, and the practices they offer helped shift not only my emotional state but also my mindset and the way I relate to life.
    I left feeling more connected, clear, and empowered. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone ready for real inner change.”
