Integrated into the Retreat Experience

Conscious t is one element within a wider retreat journey.

YogaQiFlow, Qi Gong, time in nature, nourishing food, and shared experiences all support your ability to slow down, feel more deeply, and reconnect with yourself.

Rather than learning in isolation, everything is woven into the rhythm of the week — creating space for integration, rest, and genuine connection.

A Gentle Introduction to Conscious Touch

Within the retreat, you will be introduced to elements of the SOUL IN TOUCH approach in a natural and accessible way.

Rather than focusing on technique alone, we begin with awareness — learning how to arrive, ground, and connect before offering touch.
Because the quality of your presence shapes the experience you create.

Through guided sessions, you will explore:

how to center yourself and work from a place of awareness
the art of conscious, compassionate touch
simple Thai Yoga Bodywork techniques and assisted stretches
how to listen to the body and respond intuitively
basic principles of body mechanics for ease and sustainability

These sessions are designed as an introduction — allowing you to experience the essence of the work without pressure or expectation.

This retreat is open to anyone who feels the need to slow down, reconnect, and step into a more natural rhythm of life.

It may resonate with you if you:

feel the need to pause, rest, and recharge
are drawn to movement, nature, and holistic practices
wish to reconnect with your body and inner balance
are curious to experience conscious touch in a gentle and accessible way

No experience needed

You don’t need any prior experience to join. Come as you are — with curiosity, openness, and the willingness to slow down.

For those with experience

If you are already working in yoga, bodywork, or other holistic fields, this retreat offers a space to step out of “doing” and return to feeling.
Rather than focusing on learning more techniques, it allows you to deepen your presence, sensitivity, and connection — qualities that naturally enrich your work.

A note on learning and integration

This retreat is primarily an experience — a space to reconnect, slow down, and explore holistic practices in a natural and accessible way.

You will be introduced to elements of the SOUL IN TOUCH approach, not as a formal training, but as an invitation to experience conscious touch through presence and connection.

For those already working in holistic fields, the retreat can offer inspiration and new perspectives to gently integrate into your own practice.

If you feel called to deepen further into professional bodywork training, additional Professional Training are offered separately. Click HERE for more info.

Be in community

We are not meant to do life alone.

Throughout the retreat, you will experience the beauty of being in community — sharing movement, meals, conversations, and moments of stillness.

A space where you can feel supported, seen, and connected — just as you are.

Back to the Roots Retreat – at Casa el Riego, Tenerife, Spain

Semivaganti rests quietly in the rolling hills of the Marche, where time seems to slow and the landscape invites a deeper breath. Surrounded by open skies, ancient earth, and natural simplicity, this place offers a gentle sense of arrival — a space that supports presence, embodied practice, and the subtle art of listening.

I share a special connection with Luca and Alessia, whom I already came to know in Tenerife, where they ran a beautiful vegan restaurant with much care and heart. Here in Italy, we are delighted to be nourished by their delicious vegan cuisine, lovingly prepared with locally sourced ingredients from the region. The food, just like the place itself, carries a sense of coming home.

Program

Learn the essence of Qi Gong — a beautiful, grounding practice that teaches you body mechanics, breath awareness, and presence.
YogaQiFlow sessions, my signature movement practice blending Qi Gong, Yoga, and embodied breathwork to prepare you physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically for the bodywork we’ll practice.
Deepen your skills, where you’ll learn a Thai Yoga Bodywork-inspired sequence, including assisted stretches, energy line techniques, and conscious, compassionate touch.
Enjoy daily fresh, vegetarian brunches and dinners prepared with produce from our finca and local farms — because how we nourish ourselves is part of the practice.
Receive your SOUL IN TOUCH Essentials Course Manual to support your continued learning and personal practice after the course.
This 5-day immersion lays the foundation to join the SOUL IN TOUCH Academy starting May 2026.
