Learn to create boundaries that honor both yourself and those you love through guided reflection and mindful practice with Toni Mandelbaum, PhD., LCSW. Understand your attachment style and how it shapes your relationships and boundaries, while building practical tools such as resource tapping, affect regulation, and guided exercises for clear, compassionate connection.
Begin each morning with a generous breakfast at Essentia Agriturismo, a calm and beautiful family owned property among olive trees and vineyards, then set out on curated excursions to nearby villages and local sites, moving at the pace of everyday Italian life. In the evening, return to gather around the table for chef-prepared dinners made with locally sourced ingredients, many from the land itself, where conversation lingers and connection deepens. Take time to unwind, whether by the pool or in the peaceful surroundings, and settle into the steady, restorative rhythm of Italy.

CERCARE (chair-car-ae), the Italian verb meaning "to seek", is a curated travel experience created by women, for women. It began with a simple realization: it’s easy to lose pieces of yourself in the roles you carry every day. Through travel, those pieces can be found again, slowly, and in ways that feel honest and new.
With thoughtful experiences, you are invited to slow down and take in travel through the people, the food, the stories, and the small moments that stay with you long after you return home. At CERCARE (chair-car-ae), we create space for you to step away from your daily life and reconnect with yourself.
