Unplug, Breathe, Transform
SEPTEMBER 26 – OCTOBER 3, 2026 and OCTOBER 2 – 9, 2027 • A week in the Heart of Tuscany, Podere di Maggio, Tuscany
with Mariken Fliervoet
From September 26 to October 3, 2026 and October 2 – 9, 2027, I invite you to a magical place in Tuscany, where everything comes together: silence, beauty, and the space to truly come home to yourself. Podere di Maggio is set on a hill with sacred Etruscan remains, facing an ancient volcano. The energy of this place makes you feel at home instantly. The location breathes simplicity and purity. Surrounded by rolling hills, forests, flowers, water and an almost tangible stillness it gently invites you to slow down. We drink water from our own spring and there is a beautiful natural swimming pool.
This is a week where we not only work with the body, but also with the deeper layers within. Through yoga, meditation, pranayama, stillness, and energy work, you’ll be supported in letting go of what no longer serves you and remembering who you truly are at your core. You can stay in a glamping bell tent, a room or a small house. The food is vegetarian, made with ingredients from the vegetable garden and fruit trees, and lovingly prepared by Rita, originally from Sicily, who cooks beautifully. Everywhere, you feel a deep connection with nature.
During this week, we support each other not only physically, but also mentally and energetically. Through yoga, philosophy, Yoga Nidra, and energy work, a powerful inner shift can take place, one that continues to resonate long after the retreat ends. Two special excursions are included: bathing in the thermal springs of Saturnia at sunset and visiting Eremo di Poggio Conte, a beautiful and powerful energy site once used by the ancient Templars.
This is your moment to step away from the noise, reconnect with your essence, and rediscover clarity within. You’ll return home not only recharged, but also with a renewed sense of direction, trust, and energy. If this resonates with you, consider this your invitation. Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate and personal.
