To Florence with Love (Spring 2025) – 1 Space Opened Up

New for Spring 2025! The past retreat was so gloriously rich in joy, heart transformation, and expression. Come join the ancient magic. We have now come home to remember our divine feminine nature.
~ Please get in touch with me or simply reserve the space that opened up! This retreat has been sold out for months.
I have been coming to the magical portal city of Florence for 25 years and I am so thrilled to share it with you in this gorgeous new retreat offering. This past Summer I spent an inspired few weeks carefully planning this retreat in person and oh what a difference that made!
The last retreats sold out very quickly. For quick reservation, please send Zelle to alena.hennessy@gmail.com or Venmo to Alena-Hennessy (this is preferred, 0071 is the last four digits of my phone #). $1500 reserves your space of a single or shared room . Otherwise simply use your credit card below to check out for your selected room choice!
We will stay in an art villa hotel (1469 renovated estate that once belonged to a Duchess) with expansive gardens and covered terraces, where we can gather and create, which overlooks Florentine Hills and also near my favorite piazzale. We will have easy transportation to the two most beautiful spots in the city where we can walk to the more hidden and unique treasures and activities I have planned for us. This is a multifaceted retreat to ignite the dreamer and magic-maker in you!
Note: Guests will be responsible for travel to the Villa in Florence. You may wish to fly into Florence, Pisa, or Bologna, Italy then take a taxi to our Villa Hotel once you arrive at the train station in Florence. Retreat reservations are non-refundable but credit is offered or if space is filled, then most of the money can be returned.
