Location: Apennine Mountains, between Bologna and Florence

Here’s the vision:

  • a HOY retreat gathering for practitioners from the HOY Studio and TTC graduates to come together

  • priorities: deep rest, receptivity, transmission, sacred sounds, life-nurturing foods from the culinary heart of Italy

  • a co-created, residential programme, where everyone collaborates to help with food, clean up, etc. A ‘pop-up ashram’.

  • we try to keep costs as low as possible, including shared room options and self-managed admin.

After the beauty and depth of the 2025 retreat near Assisi, this year we retreat to the mountains, to a self-organised space, with Rosalind and Bea co-ordinating daily meals from local foods.
