Is this for me?

Young professionals sharing lunch and honest conversations during the programme

Done with the feeling that you are moving forward in life, but away from yourself?

Or perhaps you find yourself asking questions like:

What actually matters to me?
What kind of life do I want to build?
What does success really mean to me?
What kind of work feels meaningful?
How do I want to live?
Who am I when I stop trying to fit into everything around me?

If these questions feel familiar, you are not alone.

Many people today are successful at functioning, but disconnected from themselves, their direction, and what actually feels meaningful to them.

This programme is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and gain the insights, tools, and self-awareness needed to move through life with more clarity, confidence, and direction.

The project you bring

You don’t come to Meraviglia to escape your life for a few days.
You come with something real that already has your attention.

A question. A challenge. A decision. A next step you keep postponing or overthinking.

This could be about work, direction, relationships, purpose, a business idea, a career shift, or simply the feeling that your current way of living no longer fully fits who you are.

Throughout the programme, you will work with this question in a practical and personal way.

Not to force quick answers or create a perfect life plan — but to gain more clarity, understand yourself better, and discover what is actually keeping you stuck, confused, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

By working with a real situation from your own life, the process becomes tangible and directly applicable.

You leave with:
more self-awareness,
more confidence in your own direction,
practical tools you can keep using,
and at least one clear actionable step forward connected to the question you came with.

More importantly, you learn how to approach future challenges and decisions with greater calm, honesty, and trust in yourself.

Maybe this is your first retreat

Maybe it’s your first time taking a step like this for yourself.

That’s okay.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to Meraviglia.
You don’t need to be spiritual, experienced, or certain about what comes next.

You simply need to feel curious enough to explore the questions that have been quietly asking for your attention.

Because what if those questions are not problems to solve — but invitations into a different way of living, working, and relating to yourself?

For a few days, you step out of the speed and noise of everyday life and into the hills of Piemonte, Italy.

A place to slow down.
Reflect.
Laugh.
Breathe.
Reconnect.
And explore your life with more honesty, clarity, curiosity, and lightness.

You will be surrounded by a small group of people navigating many of the same questions, pressures, ambitions, and transitions.

Language

The programme is open to both English-speaking and Dutch-speaking participants.

In mixed groups, the main language will be English.
All one-to-one sessions with Lucienne can take place in either English or Dutch.

You do not need to speak perfect English to join.
What matters most is that you feel comfortable expressing yourself.

And if emotions, thoughts, or experiences are easier to share in your native language during certain moments, we will naturally support that within the group.
