About your trip

Forest & Mountain Serenity: Natural Rebalance & Detox in Tuscany:

Deepen Your Connection with Nature

Join us in the wild beauty of Northern Tuscany—forests, mountains, medieval villages, and big quiet skies.

Over six days, you’ll unwind with Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), gentle Tai Chi-inspired movement, mindfulness practices, and simple nature-based rituals rooted in Eckhart Tolle’s teachings on presence.

This is a natural, gentle detox: unhurried time outdoors, nourishing seasonal food, deep rest—and, if you choose, limited Wi-Fi and device use to give your nervous system a real digital break.

You’ll head home with:

  • Practical tools to reduce stress and anxiety long-term

  • A deeper connection with nature as a daily resource

  • Simple practices to keep calm, clarity, and resilience alive in real life

This isn’t just a beautiful week in Italy. It’s a reset—a chance to remember who you are when you slow down, breathe, and let nature do what it does best.


Limited spots available! Enjoy early booking discount for the first 4 sign-ups with code MINDFUL-FOREST.

What’s Special About This Retreat

Location that does half the work for you
Set in the Garfagnana mountains of northern Tuscany, surrounded by forests, medieval villages, castles, fortresses, and endless “postcard views,” this is the ideal place to slow down, breathe, and actually hear yourself again. It’s wild enough to feel untouched, close enough to feel safe and held.

Shinrin-yoku with real science behind it
Guided forest bathing isn’t just “a nice walk in the trees.” Decades of research link it to reduced stress, lower blood pressure, better sleep, stronger immune function, and an overall sense of well-being—through simple sensory practices anyone can do. We layer this with our own mindfulness approach so you leave with tools you can adapt to your local parks, woods, sea, or mountains back home.

Eckhart Tolle, Tai Chi & embodied presence
As certified Forest Therapy guides and long-time students of Eckhart Tolle, we weave his teachings on presence and stillness into each session. Added for this edition: gentle Tai Chi-inspired movement, helping you arrive in your body, regulate your nervous system, and meet nature in a slower, more grounded way.

A natural, modern detox
No harsh rules, no punishment. Just:

  • Time offline or limited device use (if you choose)

  • Clean, nourishing food

  • Sleep, fresh air, quiet, movement, real connection

A reset that feels human, not extreme.
