Instead of a traditional day-by-day journal, I've crafted a visual diary from our recent spring retreat that unfolded amidst the picturesque landscapes of Puglia. Blessed with glorious weather and a vibrant group of individuals hailing from Hawaii, Montana, Costa Rica, Israel, the UK, Italy, and Sweden, our journey was a tapestry of shared experiences and cherished moments.
Highlights from our retreat included an unforgettable chef's table gathering around the ancient oven of our 16th-century abode, where laughter and culinary delights intertwined. We embarked on exhilarating horseback rides along the Ionian Sea, indulging in a refreshing dip alongside our equine companions.
Megan from Boho Esthetician led invigorating facial workouts, infusing our days with a rejuvenating glow. Our taste buds danced with delight during intimate wine tastings in our cozy wine cellar, each sip a toast to friendship and exploration.
Maria Grazia opened her private villa for a captivating cooking class, where the secrets of Italian cuisine were unveiled amidst laughter and camaraderie. From vibrant alfresco feasts to intimate dining under the stars, each meal was a celebration of the region's rich culinary heritage.
And, of course, our days began with the gentle flow of morning vinyasa yoga, setting the tone for peaceful introspection and vitality. As the sun dipped below the horizon, our evenings were filled with the nourishing embrace of yin yoga sessions, a serene conclusion to each day's adventures.
Through these photographs, we've woven together the tapestry of our retreat, capturing the essence of our shared journey amidst Puglia's blooming wildflowers. Each image is a testament to the bonds forged, the memories created, and the beauty discovered along the way.
