Experience
Step away from your life for a moment
Five days in the hills of Piemonte.
A small group. A beautiful house. Space to think, breathe, talk, laugh, eat well — and look differently at something in your life that is asking for your attention.
You don't come to Meraviglia to escape your life.
You bring it with you.
A question. A decision. Something you want to create. A relationship that keeps challenging you. A direction you cannot quite find. Or simply the sense that something needs to change, even if you don't yet know what.
That becomes your project for the week.
And then we play with perception.
Because we don't respond to reality. We respond to our perception of reality.
What happens when you look at your question from another angle? When you begin to notice the assumptions underneath it? When you stop automatically believing every thought, reaction or story that appears?
Something that felt fixed can suddenly begin to move.
This is where The Art of Living becomes practical. We use your real question — and the real moments, conversations and situations that arise during the week — to practise observing, discerning, sensing and choosing differently.
Not everything needs to be analysed endlessly or traced back through your entire past.
Sometimes seeing what is happening right now is enough to open a different possibility.
And once you learn to play with perception, you can take that with you anywhere.
Looking for some relief right now?
If you're a Young Professional and you feel stuck or want to untangle thoughts that keep coming back, or you need to take a decision you keep circling around or simply want another perspective. Then this is for you: a 60-minute Clarity Call.
Who is this for
Meraviglia is for people who sense that something in their life is asking for attention.
You may be facing a decision or transition. Questioning your work, relationship or direction. Wanting to bring an idea into the world. Or perhaps nothing is obviously wrong, but the way you have been living no longer quite fits.
You don't need to be interested in personal development or spirituality. You don't need to arrive with the perfect question.
What matters is curiosity, openness and a willingness to look honestly at what is there.
What happens here?
There is no packed workshop schedule.
Mornings are in silence. We begin with movement, meditation or a walk through the hills, followed by time for yourself and your own question.
Later, we meet.
Sometimes one-to-one. Sometimes as a group. Sometimes over lunch, around the table or outside in the sun.
We work with what is actually happening — your reactions, assumptions, patterns, choices and the places where you already know more than you think you do.
I bring in The Art of Living and other practical tools when they help us see something more clearly. Embodiment and yoga bring attention out of the mind and back into the body.
And there is plenty of ordinary life.
Cooking. Eating. Walking. Swimming. Resting. Conversation. Silence. Piemonte.
Because not every insight arrives while sitting in a session.
Before and after
We meet online before coming to Italy, and you'll receive a few assessments and questions that help you begin looking at what you want to bring.
You will also have personal time with me to explore your question.
After Meraviglia, we reconnect once more online.
That's it.
Enough preparation to arrive with intention. Enough follow-through to take what became clear back into your actual life.
What might you leave with?
My intention is that you leave seeing yourself and your situation more clearly, understanding something you couldn't see before, and knowing what your next honest step is. And perhaps more importantly, embodiment practices that you will take with you to anchor your inner alignment.
And of course a thorough understanding of the Art of Living sequences and ELI framework that you can apply in any area of your life.
So the work doesn't end with finding an answer to the question you bring to Meraviglia.
You leave with a practical way of meeting the next question, decision or challenge — and the one after that.

When can I come?
Meraviglia doesn't work with a calendar of fixed retreat dates.
When the first person is ready to come, we choose a date together and open that Experience to others who would like to join.
Whether that becomes a group of six or remains just one person, the Experience goes ahead.
This means you don't have to wait for us to announce the right date.
If you feel ready, contact me. We will have a conversation, look at possible dates, and take it from there.
Curious?
You don't need to know exactly what you want to work on.
You do need to be willing to look.
If something about this experience speaks to you, get in touch or book a short introductory conversation.
Come with a question. Leave with an experience and practices that changes the way you perceive life.
