About this retreat
Six nights to slow down, reflect on the year that has been, and welcome what comes next. Join Aaron Weber and Lucie Wolf at Il Convento, a former monastery surrounded by woodland and mountains in northern Tuscany.
Movement, mindful touch, sharing circles and quiet time in nature invite us to reconnect with ourselves and each other. The programme includes free dance, Contact Improvisation, floorwork, body and voice work, meditation, writing and ritual. There is time to rest and walk in nature, and a shared outing to the sea is planned.
On 30 and 31 December, meals, breaks and free time are held in silence. We speak during guided sessions and paired or group sharing. After New Year, there is more conversation, while longer quiet periods remain part of the days. No previous experience is needed. Touch is voluntary; you can adapt exercises, watch or take a break.
Dates: 29 December 2026–4 January 2027.
The total price includes the retreat, six nights and three vegetarian meals daily. Depending on room and contribution level: €758–€1,212 per person. Early-bird until 22 November 2026: €758–€1,112; regular: €808–€1,162; supporting: €858–€1,212. Travel is additional. The price shown on this listing is the lowest early-bird total.
