Discover Wellness and Culture at the Bella Vita Retreat in Tuscany

The 11 11 Experience will host the Bella Vita Retreat from October 20 to 27, 2025, in the picturesque region of Tuscany, Italy. Participants will immerse themselves in Italian culture, living “la bella vita” amid breathtaking landscapes, rich history and culinary excellence.

Host and retreat company owner Shae Marcus—also publisher of Natural Awakenings South Jersey and Philadelphia and founder of the Holistic Health & Healing Expo—describes the event as a perfect step toward mind-body wellness. “It’s a chance for women to nurture their souls in a stunning country while enjoying delicious food, sipping world-class wine and engaging in meaningful activities,” she says.

Attendees will enjoy a carefully curated itinerary, including art workshops, cooking classes, meditation, yoga, journaling sessions, and excursions to Florence and the charming hill town of San Gimignano. This diverse schedule offers a unique opportunity to form new connections, explore Italian culture, and focus on personal growth in a serene and luxurious environment.

The retreat welcomes solo travelers, providing a supportive and inspiring space to relax, recharge and experience the joy of living fully in the moment. Spots are limited for this intimate retreat.
