Serenita Retreats is building a global movement where women reclaim their power, reconnect with themselves, and forge deep, lasting bonds. We envision a world where women embrace their unique journey with confidence, living with open hearts, calm minds, and unwavering self-trust. Free from distractions and rigid schedules, our retreats create space for presence, self-expression, and true embodiment—so every woman leaves not just refreshed, but transformed, carrying the wisdom, tools, and sisterhood to support her long after the retreat ends.
​
At Serenità Wellness, we uplift women through self-awareness and growth, fostering a community of balance and inspiration amidst Italy's serene landscapes.
​
Our intimate retreats, curated by a team of women, each with unique gifts, blend movement, mindfulness, and creativity, inviting you to embark on a multi-sensory journey.
​
Led by hostesses deeply rooted in hospitality, creativity, and slow travel, we offer a close interpersonal dynamic, where retreat leaders are also participants in the experience, and shared vulnerability and joy propel your journey. We truly believe that each woman who attends the SWR is a teacher unto themselves, and we cherish all the stories and life experience that each woman brings to our retreat.
​
We acknowledge life's demands, crafting experiences that resonate with the realities of modern women and provide adaptable tools for sustainable well-being beyond our retreats. We cherish continued connection and support following the retreat week, and love staying in touch with our retreat family!​
Embracing a flowing schedule, we invite you to engage in as much or as little activity as you wish, acknowledging that every woman's needs can be different. Unwind and connect with like-minded friends, rediscovering life's joys and embracing the present moment with lightness and self-acceptance.
With us, you'll be able to fully embody slow living, and enjoy the authentic slow food of the Italian countryside, made by loving hands with local and organic products. Never in a rush, we enjoy long meals, great conversation, and lots of laughter - our favourite time of the day.
​
During the quiet mornings and long afternoons, you may find yourself tucked into a hammock, lounging at the saltwater pool, hand-rolling fresh pasta, dabbling with water colour paints, strolling the nearby hills, trading stories over a tea, horseback riding, or reading your favourite book. The choice is always yours.
Group workshops are led by your host Olivia, whose background in clinical psychology and holistic wellness allows her to curate the topics that flow and develop as the week progresses, mirroring the group’s energy, interests, and challenges. Topics of discussion include holistic self-care, our reasons for retreat-ing, womanhood in today’s world, navigating life's challenges, illuminating our goals and life purpose, and tools for sustaining the retreat magic at home. Through journaling, heart-opening activities, and thought-provoking conversations, the experience is co-created by every woman present, sharing their unique and valuable life experience, humour, and wisdom.
We recognize that sharing isn't always easy - as such, we encourage each woman to share whatever feels comfortable. For some, just being present and listening to others is already a courageous step out of their comfort zone. No activity at Serenità is mandatory, and we welcome any level of participation and presence in our workshops, encouraging each woman to make of each day what she needs most, leaning into intuition, ease, and flow.
When life feels uncertain, we feel the pull to reconnect with our true selves and seek deeper connection. The women who make up the Serenità retreat are of all ages, from diverse cultures, and have lived vastly different lives, but come together for the same reason – to give back to themselves in a profound way so that they may return home and navigate their lives with renewed energy, strength, and love. Together, we learn to navigate our inner world with strength and compassion for each other and for ourselves. Your team at Serenità strives to always create a sanctuary where every woman feels welcome, safe to speak her truth, and where we can grow in vulnerability, together.
​
I am forever grateful for the women that have shared their stories, friendship, and joy over the years, and for the growing supportive community of women that continues to stay connected through this shared experience of a retreat tucked away in the Italian countryside. Sustained connection, networking, and friendship between women across the world is one small part of the bigger goal to raise women up, to celebrate our similarities and differences, and to let our magic shine.
