What makes our retreats different than the rest? We speak the language. We have lived in Italy. We own property there. We aren't just visiting a place for the first time, it's a second home for us. We are familiar with the area, the people, the producers, and we've curated and collaborated with the best of the best to share with you our version of La Dolce Vita.

Meet your host: John Sahakian

I help people shift their perspective so challenges become opportunities and insight and inner wisdom lead the way.
