Italy Retreat 2013

The colorful landscape of Italy

SEPTEMBER 2013! Join me, Lenora Boyle, IN CINQUE TERRE and TUSCANY, ITALY for my 5th Annual Italy Retreat for Women To Live La Dolce Vita

SEPTEMBER 9-18   2013

10 Glorious Days. Return from Italy Thursday, September 19

Dreaming of Italy includes memories of the warmth of the people and the Italian sun, of dancing in the town square in the evenings, drinking wine and cappuccino in the piazza, throwing open the windows to the sounds of the locals outside beginning their day, and you are a part of that. And the aromas! The pastry shop baking brioche and focaccia or pasta sauces cooking in the restaurants. You can view many beautiful photos and videos on this blog, ItalyRetreatForWomen.com.

As if Italy in itself isn’t enough to transform a woman’s desire for la dolce vita, the addition of small amounts of time set aside throughout the trip to learn and adopt practices that I have used for 22 years to free women from their limiting beliefs, makes the results of being in Italy even more profound. Like a fine delicious Italian meal served in increments over a long evening spent sharing stories, digesting, and enjoying each other’s company, I serve my 12 hour workshop on dissolving limiting beliefs and living the sweet life in small tastes simmering over the course of the trip.

It is time for UNLIMITED LA DOLCE VITA!

Vernazza, one of the beautiful villages on the Cinque Terre

Enjoy breathtaking hikes on the trails of Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera, unique shopping experiences and Puccini concerts in Lucca, luxuriate and rejuvenate in thermal springs and healing steams baths, browse through outdoor markets, ride bikes on top of the city wall of Lucca, and participate in the fantastic annual candlelight festival and procession in Lucca, the Luminaria di Croce.  Lucca is a charming town where strolling through the streets is an endless adventure in Italian delights.

Our first get-together in Italy begins at 3:30 Monday, September 9 in the meeting room of our private Bed and Breakfast in Lucca. This year The Italy Retreat for Women to Live La Dolce Vita will include 10 nights, with five nights spent in the lovely walled city of Lucca, in northernTuscany, then four nights in beautiful Monterosso, in the Cinque Terre, on the Italian Riviera. On the 10th night, Wednesday September 18, we will stay near the Pisa International Airport for an early morning flight on Thursday, September 19.

You can read more about the work I do and the fun you can have, here on all of my blog posts ItalyRetreatforWomen.com and website ChangeLimitingBeliefs.com

I have been teaching transformational workshops, focused on creating Unlimited La Dolce Vita, Happiness and Dissolving limiting beliefs, for over 21 years. I also work as a coach in person or on the phone.

 

This retreat allows our minds to empty out of the norm, and shift, then expand further out again, diminishing old patterns as we intersperse travel time with workshop fun.  The result of leaving home and experiencing Italy is that you return looking at everything with a fresh perspective. I believe travel and transformation are inseparable, and this trip will be no exception.

We will visit at least eight different towns on the Italian Riviera and in northern Tuscany–Monterosso, Vernazza, Manarola, Riomaggiore, Portovenere, Pisa, Lucca, Monsummano. We will share beautiful moments of reflection in some of my favorite rooms and outdoor patios as we move more into the sweet life, beyond the roadblocks from the past. (Read more about each town in previous blogposts by clicking on “Blog” in top menu bar).

Return home with a set of Sweet Life Practices for manifesting Unlimited La Dolce Vita in your life no matter where you are. I offer you an opportunity to travel with a small group of  like-minded women, and create new life-long friends on a trip of a lifetime that is fun, affordable and easy. You can leave most of the details to me!

 

This is the trip for you if you are a woman open to adventure and transformation, ready for more in your life–more happiness, more fun, more confidence, more success, in your personal and professional life.

Women love Italy because of it’s spectacular views, gorgeous art, exquisite shopping, fabulous churches and architecture, the wine and luscious food, fragrances, and the inviting generosity of the Italian people.

“Traveling to Italy has been on my bucket list for a long time. So happy I went with Lenora who is a compassionate guide and took into consideration our needs. I felt so taken care of.  I also pushed my boundaries a little and faced my challenge of fear of heights by walking the trails in the Cinque Terre. Besides experiencing the magic of Italy, I loved learning more about manifesting my dreams, and breaking free of old patterns on this retreat. I highly recommend that you join Lenora and live more of la dolce vita.”

~~Mary Ellen

“The experience changed my life. That sweet life beauty is a resource for me to remember how I want to always live my life on a daily basis. Four years later, I hold that time in Italy in my heart as a life changing aha moment that lives on each and every day. Just go for it!”

~~Sallee

“My favorite place on earth to vacation is Italy! There’s nothing like it.”
