Our thoughtfully curated retreat weaves art, movement, and sound into rituals and activities designed to calm the nervous system and ground you in the present moment. Through creative expression, sensory engagement, and the magic of communal experience, you’ll rediscover the joy of connection and co-creation.
​
Together, we’ll embrace the rhythms of communal living at the Transmission School, a beautifully restored farmhouse or Podere and former Franciscan Monastery. Here, alongside long-term residents and its inspiring founder, Pushpa, we’ll immerse ourselves in a harmonious haven shaped by the cycles of nature, the wisdom of herbs, energy, and ancient esoteric traditions. Through the interweaving of different perspectives and generations, as a community we learn from one another, rediscovering the profound beauty of shared living.
​
This retreat honors the wisdom of nature and our bodies, the divine feminine energy within us all, and the belief that healing oneself creates ripples of healing in the wider community. In our fast-paced world, it’s an invitation to slow down and savor the beauty within and around us.
​
Join us for this ‘Feast of the Senses’ retreat—a joyful, relaxing, and nourishing springtime experience. Immerse yourself in the lush Tuscan landscape, the richness of your senses, and the sacred power of connection as we unwind, reflect, and reconnect—with nature, with others, and with ourselves.

Feminine Rising is a soul collaboration between mother-daughter Jill and Dana, offering nature based retreats focused on reconnecting people with the Divine Feminine.
