A "Joy Toolkit"

Practical coaching techniques from our "Bursts of Joy" sessions to help you navigate stress and maintain your spark back in the real world.

The "Compass" Clarity

A clear sense of direction (your Joy as a Compass) for your next big life chapter, whether in career, relationships, or personal growth.

Creative Confidence

The realisation that you are a creative soul, with the "Paint and Sip" masterpieces to prove it.

A Global Sisterhood

A permanent connection to a diverse, international group of women (including our lovely Italian Passionistas!) who truly "get" you.

A Nervous System Reset

The deep, cellular peace that only comes from sound baths, mountain air, and fire ceremonies.

The Art of "Making Space"

The ability to identify what no longer serves you and the courage to clear it away for what does.

🏠 What are the room options? Can I come alone?

Absolutely. In fact, most of our Passionistas arrive solo!

You can choose a Private Room if you crave total solitude and space to integrate and all rooms are designed with Italian charm and comfort in mind—think rustic elegance with mountain views.

This retreat is designed to turn strangers into a "vibe tribe" within the first few hours. Whether you’re an introvert who needs quiet morning coffee or an extrovert ready to chat over pasta, you’ll find a warm, inclusive space where you belong exactly as you are.

All pricing is based on 2 sharing a GO Dome or Yurt, but if you require your own space, reach out to us for more options.

✈️ Getting Here: Your Journey to Joy?

Your retreat begins the moment you touch down. To give you total flexibility with your preferred airline or travel points, flights are booked independently and are not included in the retreat price.

*Pescara Airport (PSR): The closest and most convenient hub, with direct flights from London Stansted and other European cities.

*Rome Airports (FCO or CIA): A popular choice for those coming from further afield. From Rome, you can enjoy a breathtakingly scenic bus or train ride through the heart of the Apennine Mountains—a beautiful way to transition into retreat mode.

*Stress-Free Transfers: We’ve got the logistics covered! On the arrival day, we provide a complimentary group shuttle from Pescara Airport at designated times to whisk you straight to our mountain sanctuary.

🍷 Will my specific dietary needs be taken care of?

Absolutely! This is Italy, after all—food is our love language.

Whether you are vegan, gluten-free, or have specific allergies, our local chefs specialise in "Joyful Dining." We use fresh, seasonal ingredients from the Abruzzo countryside.

And don't worry—all drinks and meals will have plenty of delicious alternatives so nobody misses out on the celebration.

🌿 What if I’m new to "the retreat experience"?

You are in very safe hands! This retreat is designed to be a gentle, joyful experience—not a performance.

This is a "Slow Living" experience, not a marathon! While we have beautiful activities like Paint & Sip and coaching, we believe rest is a form of joy. Your schedule includes plenty of "white space" to lounge by the pool, nap, or wander through the grassy meadows. You are always encouraged to listen to your body—if you need to skip a session to read a book, we celebrate that!

💶 Do I need cash?

While your retreat experience is essentially all-inclusive—covering your accommodation, meals, coaching, and activities—we do recommend bringing a small amount of Euros for pocket money:

eg. Picking up local honey, hand-pressed olive oil, unique Abruzzo artisan products, or maybe that irresistible mid-afternoon gelato or a cheeky espresso.

There are ATMs at the airport and in larger towns, but having some cash on arrival will make your first few steps much more relaxed.

✨ Do I need to be "good" at art or have experience with ceremonies?

Not at all! This retreat is a "perfection-free zone." Whether you haven't picked up a paintbrush since school or you’ve never heard of a Sound Bath, you are exactly where you need to be.

Beth’s coaching and all activities are about the process and the laughter, not the final masterpiece. Everything is guided, gentle, and designed for you to explore at your own pace.

Come with an open heart—no "skills" required!

👗 What should I pack?

Think "Mountain Chic & Effortless Comfort." Since we are in the heart of the countryside at the start of summer, days will be beautifully warm, while evenings in the fresh mountain air can be a bit cooler.

For the Day: Light, breathable fabrics (linen and cotton are your best friends!).

For the Ground: The terrain is dry and grassy, so leave the stilettos at home! Opt for comfortable sandals, stylish sneakers, or flat boots for walking.

For the Pool: Don't forget your favourite swimwear and a cover-up for those sunny afternoons by the water.

For the Evenings: A cozy wrap or a light jacket is perfect for our outdoor dinners and fireside ceremonies.

*The Golden Rule: Pack whatever makes you feel most "you" and ready to move, breathe, and dance!

💡 Is there Wi-Fi? Can I "unplug"?

Yes, we have Wi-Fi available in the main villa areas if you need to check in with loved ones or send a quick update, but it may not be strong enough for heavy streaming or long Zoom calls.

We find this "gentle connectivity" is actually a gift—it allows you to stay safe and reachable while encouraging you to fully immerse yourself in the joy of the present moment.

However, we invite you to embrace a "digital detox" where possible. The Abruzzo mountains offer a rare opportunity to silence the pings and notifications of daily life.

Think of this as a chance to trade your screen time for "me time"—reconnecting with your own internal signal while the mountains handle the rest.

🛡️ Do I need travel insurance?

Yes, absolutely.

To ensure everyone is fully protected and can relax completely, a copy of your comprehensive travel insurance is a requirement for joining us. We ask that your policy covers trip cancellation, medical expenses, and personal liability.

Once you’ve booked your spot, we will ask you to send over a quick copy of your certificate so we can keep it on file for your peace of mind (and ours!).

🇮🇹 Can I stay a little longer?

We would love that!

If you aren't ready to say arrivederci just yet, you are more than welcome to extend your stay at the mountain sanctuary. Whether you want to join us for the ‘con noi’ weekend (see below) or simply need a few extra days of quiet journaling by the pool, let us know as soon as possible. Kerry’s oasis is the perfect place to integrate your "Joy Breakthroughs" before heading back to the real world, and we can help you arrange the extra nights!
