The best way to know if Fiore Retreats is for you is to schedule an enrollment call with Dana & Liz to talk through the ways in which it aligns with what you’re wanting to create next in your life. Our Retreats are for any woman who is willing to interrupt her everyday life to dedicate a full week away from home to focus solely on herself and her own desire & joy. Perhaps you are going through a big life transition — an empty nest, a career change, a divorce, or a renewed focus on a creative pursuit. Perhaps you are wanting to change something in your life professionally or personally, and would benefit from some support & encouragement. Perhaps you are needing to find clarity in an area of your life. Or you want to scale an existing project or business. Maybe you just want to experience a meaningful reset for the sake of your own wellbeing. And maybe you have no idea what you want the rest of your life about. All of these are great starting points at a Fiore Retreat. Prior to enrollment, we will help you determine your area of focus during the Retreat, although truth be told, you will return home having focused on many elements of your life, and having come alive in many unexpected and unplanned ways.

Sometimes prospective attendees are concerned that they won’t fit in with the group and want us to know that they don’t consider themselves joiners and/or they don’t love being around groups of women, especially women they don’t know. Rest assured that we design our Retreats in such a way that everyone feels welcome, comfortable and known, and that our groups become very bonded over the course of our week together. From the start, we build intimacy, safety and unconditional positive regard into our collective experience. In terms of size, our groups range from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 10. We prefer to keep our Retreats small so we can provide a high level of engagement with each participant and with the group as a whole.

We provide you a pick up date and time to meet at the Catania Airport in Sicily, and we take care of all transportation from there so you can relax and be a passenger for any outings we do from the Masseria.

We will also return you to the Catania Airport at the conclusion of the Retreat.

You do not need to rent your own car while in Italy unless you choose to travel on your own either before or after the Retreat.

Absolutely. Our Retreats don’t require you to have any previous experience with coaching or personal/ professional growth work. We do ask you to come open to your own growth and willing to receive loving feedback and support throughout the Retreat. In addition, you will have an experience of our coaching during our enrollment call, and will arrive in Italy with a good sense of what it’s like to work with us as your coaches.

On the Retreat, you will be guided through several sessions of Untamed Writing, a form of community writing Dana leads on a weekly basis back in Los Angeles. This form of writing is for everyone, writers and non-writers alike, and is all about dropping into your unconscious and letting your true self emerge on the page. There is absolutely no way of getting this kind of writing wrong, as it’s not about writing artfully, it’s just about writing what’s coming to you and through you in your own natural voice. Together with our coaching content, the writing you do on the Retreat will provide you a deep sense of clarity, self awareness and awe, both for yourself and for your fellow Retreat participants.

Every Retreat Day is different and carefully curated. On any given day, you can expect to eat very well, to experience blocks of coaching and self reflection, to express yourself creatively, to be challenged, to have fun, to rest and relax, and to do something new and unexpected, whether at the Masseria or in neighboring Sicilian towns.

All meals are included, and center around fresh, seasonal, local organic foods. A private chef will be preparing most of our breakfasts, lunches and dinners at the Masseria. Breakfast will include fresh fruit, eggs, local bread & pastries and coffee and tea. We can accommodate dietary restrictions if you let us know about them in advance.
