About fiore retreats

We are Dana Childers & Liz Goldman, professional coaches, writers, mothers & dear old friends. Fiore Retreats emerges from the bond of our friendship, our mutual love of Italy and our synergy both personally and professionally. Beauty, delight and la dolce vita are embedded in the very spirit of Italy, so much so that the memories we each hold of our respective years living there as young women became central to our personal development and the way we each live our lives. Our dream of returning to Italy together led us to launching Fiore Retreats, a one of kind personal & professional development experience that brings forth the best of what we know and who we are in the very best place we know to do it.

Testimonials

  • When I came back from Italy, my cup was full. I loved that trip so much, and I love that I gave it to myself. I am so grateful. I feel so aligned with my work, with what I’m doing, with why I’m here. I’m owning my skills unapologetically. I feel in my skin and serious about my work. And people are responding to the shift inside of me. I feel joyful. That’s what it is.

  • The retreat created an opportunity and an environment for exploration that was perfectly timed with where I was and what I needed as I transitioned out of my 20 year career. The program delivered on the spirit of play, creativity and personal exploration and also created invaluable connections...I’ve even noticed that I have so much more to say now, and so many ideas. I was so muted before. Now I have a zest for life and for experiencing new things. Now I see so many possibilities, and little seeds are starting to grow. Thank you both for an amazing trip.

  • I now feel a well of strength and faith that something better is around the corner. I really got that my own self-leadership is foundational. I also came back feeling detached from my ego. I feel serenity now. And the fellowship I experienced from the women there was game changing for me. The retreat gave me a respite. But it was rigorous at the same time — and I mean that in the best possible way.

  • I was lucky enough to attend Liz and Dana's retreat in Puglia, Italy, this past October. In addition to the extremely valuable and creative coaching and writing sessions, the villa was extraordinary and had everything a group could ever wish for including a chef who prepared delicious healthy meals. Dana and Liz took such great care to ensure that every detail was supportive, fun, rewarding, and challenging (in a good way). I returned home with insights and next steps that I might never have realized without this amazing retreat...The biggest part of the shift is that I’m now centering in joy.

  • My senses were so alive in Italy. My time in Puglia strengthened my ability to make choices. The experience got me in touch with the best parts of life, and the knowing that there is more aliveness inside myself.
