Goddess Yoga Retreat – Lago d’Orta, Italy
September 13 – 19, 2026
For women who feel the quiet pull toward what’s next.
Grounded movement. Ritual. Nature. Connection.
The Invitation
You’re invited to step out of everyday life for a few days.
Practice yoga, take part in ritual, spend time in nature, and share meaningful moments with other women. Alongside this, we’ll explore the beauty and culture of Lago d’Orta — its villages, food, and way of life.
Here, there is space for depth and ease, reflection and laughter — without pressure or expectation.
The Experience
A gentle, intentional rhythm weaving together body, reflection, nature, and Italian life.
Daily yoga and movement practices
Guided inner work and group reflection
- Tarot card readings and one-on-one Somatic sessions
Ritual and nature immersion
Cultural excursions, shared meals, and time to simply enjoy being alive in Italy
There is structure, but also spaciousness — room to participate fully or take time for yourself as needed.
New This Year
Nature Immersion – Val Grande
One day is dedicated to Val Grande National Park, the largest and last true wilderness area in Italy.
This is a raw, untamed landscape of ancient forest and silence — not a scenic stroll, but a powerful natural container. Here, we are guided through a somatic nature ritual: an embodied, feminine practice of movement, listening, and presence with the land.
Less about doing — more about being.
Grounding, release, and a renewed sense of clarity emerge naturally.
Your Guides
Vanessa Hylande
I’ll be guiding daily yoga and movement practices, as well as sound baths and guided meditations. I co-facilitate the retreat with Stephanie, and together we hold the rhythm and flow of our time.
I love creating spaces where lasting friendships form, where we can explore feminine embodiment, spirituality, personal growth, happiness, and joy. I’m so excited to share this beautiful journey with you.
– Vanessa
Stephanie Tack
One-on-one guidance, somatic support, psychic and tarot card readings, ritual and integration. Stephanie holds space with care and precision, supporting reflection and grounded forward movement.
Our Home — Casa dei Padri
Once a monastery, now a family-run retreat sanctuary, Casa dei Padri sits quietly above Lago d’Orta, surrounded by gardens and nature.
It’s a place that holds stillness, care, and history — offering comfortable shared and private rooms, gathering spaces, and a grounded atmosphere that supports deep rest and connection.
It’s not just where we stay.
It’s part of the retreat itself.
