Il Dolce Far Niente
the sweetness of doing nothing
In Tuscany, doing nothing is an art form. It’s sun-drenched stillness, barefoot wanderings, long sips of wine, and laughter that lingers. It’s presence without pressure, pleasure without guilt. On this retreat, we return to the magic of simply being—and discover how sweet it really is.
After visiting Tuscany several times myself (I’ve fallen deeply in love with this countryside, you guys!) and teaming up with local guides and travel experts, I’ve crafted an itinerary with the dreamiest, most soul-filling, inner-child healing, rejuvenating adventures – and all you have to do is show up and come along for the ride!
The colors, the sounds, the flavors, and the beauty of Tuscany is at your doorstep – and we’ve taken care of every little detail so you can adventure and experience in a carefree, zero-stress way. This beautiful, all-inclusive retreat will take place at Locanda Cugnanello in the charming Tuscany countryside: everything is included — all meals, adventures, lodging, and transportation – from the moment you arrive in Florence to the moment you leave at the end of 8 brilliant, transformative days.
prepare for your
senses to dance in the stillness
…as you dive headfirst into a world bursting with rich history, raw beauty, and the kind of tranquility your nervous system has been craving.
Together, we will stay at the most gorgeous, 800 year old villa in the countryside — away from the chaos and immersed in nature, it’s the most perfect nervous-system reset! We’ll swim, rest, dance, enjoy fresh, homemade Italian cooking, do some yoga, explore ancient villages, travel to the seaside, and more!
This retreat will offer an astounding variety of experiences that will ignite your sense of wonder, spark your childlike imagination, and reconnect you with our shared web of humanity. I am so proud of and excited for this wild adventure I’ve crafted – and I can’t wait to share it with you! Thank you for trusting me to show you the world.
OVERVIEW
YOUR retreat LEADER
Hi, I’m Brittany! I’ve been teaching yoga since 2008 and opened The Yoga Underground in 2010. I love the way that traveling gives me the opportunity to practice my yoga off the mat, as it forces me to expand my perspective and see things (and myself) in a new and different way. Traveling has also been incredibly empowering to me; each time I navigate a new airport in a new country, the world opens up to me a little more and I feel so alive! I travel to see the world, but I also travel to see myself — and myself within the world. Our web of humanity is somehow simultaneously enormous but also quite small and intimate. Together, we all want to love and be loved, we want to share, and we want to connect. And in this way we are all the same. We are one.
Leading retreats all over the world has become one of my favorite things to do, as I love watching retreaters’ minds open as they experience things for the first time. I’d be honored for you to trust me enough to show you some of my favorite hidden gems across the world — and now Tuscany is at the top of my list!
activities
& excursions
Throughout our time in Tuscany, you will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities and adventures, designed to tickle all of your fancies — reconnect with your inner child as you allow yourself to explore and experience things for the first time, all in a safe and supportive group of like-minded goddesses.
Cultivate that sense of childlike wonder as we:
- go horseback riding through the rolling hills
- wander medieval villages in search of the best gelato
- learn about local tuscan wine, olive oil, meats, and cheeses
- dance, lay by the pool, do yoga, journal, and meditate
- play in the mediterranean sea while the sunlight glitters on the waves

Journey from Florence to Cugnanello through the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. Upon arrival, we'll have time to rest: imagine floating on a bed of lavender, with the sparkling Tuscan sun dancing your face, before enjoying a wonderful homemade Italian dinner together. After dinner, it's time for our welcome circle and intention setting for the week.

Another beautiful day to lounge, relax, and reconnect with your body in luxury! There will be more opportunities for yoga - or perhaps you'd rather sleep in and book a massage? The choice is yours!
