SENSING HAPPINESS

A Women’s Retreat in Italy led by Dr. Petulia Blake is a well-organized journey to explore your senses and their sensibility for happiness. 

    What if happiness isn’t something you chase, but something you naturally experience when you’re fully present with your senses?


    You are  invited on a seven-day journey through Italy designed to awaken your senses, inspire your creativity, and reconnect you with the simple pleasures of being alive. This immersive retreat moves beyond traditional tourism, inviting you to experience Italy by paying attention to all your senses.

     

    From the timeless grandeur of Ancient Rome and Vatican City to the sparkling Adriatic Coast and the enchanting medieval villages of Abruzzo, you will taste, see, hear, touch, and feel your way through experiences that invite you to slow down, explore freely, and discover what happiness means to you. Conversations will take place with a sea-view. 


    After Rome, your primary abode will overlook the Adriatic Sea and excursions to Pescara, Lanciano, and picturesque medieval mountain villages. Imagine savoring authentic Italian cuisine, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, wandering through historic towns, discovering hidden corners of medieval villages, and sharing meaningful moments with local people—including a nonna eager to share a little of her world with you. Every encounter offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, create, and notice which experiences awaken your senses and bring you joy. 

    Investment: $3,500 per person, based on double occupancy.


    Your retreat includes:

    • Seven nights of accommodation with breakfast
    • Ground transportation throughout the retreat
    • Guided cultural exploration 
    • Experiences across Rome, the Adriatic Coast, and the medieval towns of Abruzzo

    Arrival Date: July 11 

    Departure Date: July 18
