What to Expect

We are holding space for each other to align our hearts, hands and heads with the rhythms of life. We explore practices and tools to ground ourselves in our values and enhance our regenerative capacities. 

Together we explore the questions, pathways and struggles for which there is little room in sustainability-as-usual. This is a place where you can bring your worries and dreams in their entirety.

Join us on this playful journey to become an active participant in the shift toward living the questions and nurturing the capacities of a more regenerative future!

We encourage sustainable travel and have selected a location in Central Europe that is easily reachable by train. The closest train station is Vicchio, Tuscany (approx. 1 hour direct train from Florence). Closest airports are Florence, Pisa and Bologna.

From Vicchio train station we can arrange shuttles to Tertulia. A few days before the start of the gathering we will organise arrival with the group.

Tertulia is located in the hills of the Appenine and in the chestnut forest surrounding the farm. It is often sunny, but weather can change quick throughout the day. In April we expect temperatures between 10 and 18 C. So, please bring layers and weather-proof jackets and outdoor/hiking boots, as we will go into nature.

All meals are included and we have a chef on-site to support with preparing breakfast/brunch.
