About this trip

This year for Christmas, come back home to yourself!

Join this most amazing experience during the holiday time.


It's time to rise together. To remember your unique essence. To live fully. To commit to your heart. To honor your body as a temple.


You are alive! 

You are a life force manifestation! 

Claim back the power to be loved and share your majesty in the world. 

Inner work: to release, to shake, to heal your emotional body. Come back home to your natural state of ease. 

Shadow work: to see, to honor, to become aware of your hidden shadow. Bring home your projected fear and see reality for what it is 

Inner child / inner masculine / inner feminine. Embody fully the beautiful potent quality of those three inner archetypes. Allow  your being to vibrate in wholeness. 

The heart of relating. Love/sex/intimacy. Get clear and confident to express your desires for pleasure, your boundaries, your longing for love. Breakthrough with shame, distortion, fear, illusion relating with sexuality. 

Awakening the HEART 

There is only a wild heart pulsating down at the core of Mother Earth, with the gift of immense love and light. 

Embrace it. 

Stop with the drama. 

Break the chains of past-conditioning and trauma. 

Free from attachment and story. 

Reveal your Heart❤️

Yoga and Movement Classes

During this retreat we will explore Maya Yoga and Body Soul Movement as a journey of self-discovery and powerful awakening:

Maya  Yoga is a harmonious journey of physical, mental and spiritual  practices and techniques to help guide you to happiness and wellbeing.  We adhere to the classic principles of the Hatha Yoga* tradition, while  enriching our practice with the magic of other yoga methods and  philosophy. We work hard for your physical improvement, but, more  importantly, we invite your yoga journey to become a spiritual path that  will nourish your life with Clarity, Bliss and Infinite Love.


Body  Soul Movement (BoSoMo therapy) is flowing, spontaneous and fun - while  offering the potential for deep transformation, and  emotional-mental-physical balancing. It is a Journey of Healing,  Experience, Joy and Creativity.

Body Soul Movement Includes:

  1. Intense physical exercise to liberate body and mind from pain, past and reaction
  2. An intensive mind-body work to reach a state of balance
  3. Living the body through movement
  4. Dance and improvisation
  5. Physical theater and voice work
  6. Self-expression - break down the fear of going out of your comfort zone

First, I ask you to return to yourself, which means:

Awareness of your own physical body : (anatomy, bone structure, and analysis of movement)

Awareness of the subtle energy that inhabits it (the meridians of the body)

Awareness  of the close relationship between the physical body and the emotional  sphere (how the emotions have a story written in the body)

Second,  I invite you to rediscover a state of harmony and balance – physically  and mentally – and reawaken your inner ability to heal yourself! Healing  is an instinctive animal capability that is inscribed in each of us. It  is maintaining balance, and that balance is the natural condition and  the original condition of all human beings. Let us call this balance a  Natural state of health.

We are not here to learn any new  theory. We have collected so many theories that our minds are asleep,  numb and unsatisfied. Our minds have lost elasticity and the capacity to  be alert, silent and open to pure creation. It is our mind that rules  us, and we can easily become victims of its pitfalls!

The Puglian kitchen

 The Puglian kitchen is famous for its wholesome ingredients, both from the sea and from the earth, simple and flavorful.


At  La Luna nel Pozzo, you will have the opportunity to sample many of the  dishes of the Puglian tradition - dishes of Mediterranean delight.

You  will find the colors of the season’s fruits and vegetables, the  knowledge of the pastors in the justly-renowned cheeses, olive oils from  ancient trees, and artisan sourdough bread made from local, fresh  stone-ground flours.

Retreat Center

With its spaces for artistic creation and hospitality, and an environment which facilitates concentrated, harmonious work, La Luna nel  Pozzo (The Moon in the Well) is an ideal location for retreats.  


La Luna nel Pozzo is a theater housed in a traditional stone “masseria,”  or farm house, from the mid-nineteenth century; a cultural center  nestled among the majestic olive trees in the Puglian countryside near  Ostuni. The name expresses a hope for an oasis which can nourish new art  forms, creating opportunities for fruitful creative encounters, where  one can find the environment, and the time, to realize one’s desires.  


Driving distances: La Luna is 15 minutes from the sea, 5 minutes from  Ostuni, the white city, and 15 minutes from Cisternino and the trulli of  the beautiful Itrian Valley.  


Highlights · a stone amphitheater of antique Greek design, with a 12 m diameter  stage, excellent acoustics and seating for 250 spectators, equipped for  electric lighting (380v) and sound, without losing its traditional  aspect. · a Cretan labyrinth of traditional stonework (20 m diameter), for  meditation, discussion, writing, inspiration… · 6 hectares of olive groves
