Great question — this retreat is designed for women who love to move and aren’t afraid of a little adventure.

The hiking is moderate to advanced, which means you’ll want to feel comfortable walking up to 5 miles a day on mountain trails with some incline. If you strength train regularly, enjoy a good walk, and don’t mind getting a little sweaty, you’re golden.

That said — this isn’t a bootcamp. It’s a mindful, unhurried, breathtaking kind of movement. We pause, we breathe, we laugh. And we cheer each other on the whole way.

You don’t need to be a pro hiker — just strong, steady, and excited for the kind of challenge that leaves you feeling proud and alive.

Code of Conduct

• This is a sacred space for restoration, connection, and joy. By registering, you agree to treat yourself, fellow travelers, and the environment with kindness and respect throughout the retreat experience.

First of all, go you. Seriously — deciding to come solo? That’s bold, brave, and exactly the kind of energy this retreat is all about.

Also, you’re not the only one coming solo — and honestly, it might just be the best gift you give yourself.

Many of the women who join this retreat come alone — and they leave with new friendships, deeper confidence, and a stronger connection to themselves.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with open arms. We've designed this experience to be inclusive, warm, and deeply supportive — whether you come with a friend or as a sacred solo adventure.

You won’t feel alone for long — just courageously present.

Coming solo allows you to focus on your own growth, rest, and adventure (without coordinating dinner plans or trail decisions with someone else).

Plus, the group vibe is warm, real, and totally not cliquey. You’ll show up a stranger and leave with soul sisters — pinky promise.

The only thing not included is your airfare — but don’t stress, we’ve got your back.

You’ll book your own round-trip flight in and out of Venice, Italy (VCE) — and we’ll send you flight tips, arrival windows, and help you find the best options for your budget and schedule.

Whether you're a seasoned traveler or booking your first international trip, you won’t be figuring it out alone.

Once you land in Venice, we’ll take it from there — your ground transportation, lodging, meals, and all the retreat magic are included. ✈️✨

This is your chance to ditch the heavy suitcase and pack like a minimalist mountain goddess.

If your bag has wheels and needs checking, it’s probably too much. 😉

Picture: a cozy mountain lodge, winding trails, fresh air in your lungs — and you, perfectly comfy in your favorite hoodie, trail shoes, and leggings.

That’s the vibe.

You don’t need much. Pack light, bring layers, and keep it functional. A backpack or small roller bag will do just fine. We’ll send you a full list with all the essentials (and none of the fluff).

Trust us — you’ll thank yourself when you’re not lugging around extra stuff you didn’t need.

We recommend a solid backpack or carry-on with room for hiking gear, comfy clothes, and a light jacket for cool evenings. No fancy outfits, no overthinking — just the basics that make you feel like your real, relaxed self.

We highly recommend it — and here’s why:

Travel insurance gives you peace of mind. It covers unexpected things like flight delays, lost baggage, cancellations, or medical issues while abroad — the kind of things we hope never happen, but feel a whole lot better knowing we’re covered if they do.

Because your deposit is nonrefundable, and life can be unpredictable, travel insurance helps protect your investment in this experience.

To get started, here are a few  suggestions for trusted companies and what to look for in a plan. It’s a small step that makes a big difference — and you’ll thank yourself for it if anything goes sideways.

Trusted providers we love: World Nomads, Travel Guard, and Allianz Travel. Choose a plan that includes trip cancellation and international medical coverage.

That’s exactly why this retreat is perfect for you.

You don’t need any prior experience with meditation — just a willing heart and an open mind. Danielle guides you gently, with simple, soul-soothing practices that meet you right where you are.

No chanting. No pressure. No sitting for hours in silence. Just real, grounded practices designed to help you feel more present, more peaceful, and more you.

Most women who come are brand new to meditation — and they leave saying it’s one of their favorite parts of the entire retreat.

Danielle keeps things light, real, and super beginner-friendly. You’ll learn tools you can actually use back home — whether it’s a 3-minute breath reset, a morning reflection, or just learning how to quiet the inner chaos when life gets noisy.

You’ll feel safe, supported, and surprised by how natural it can feel.

We’re staying in beautiful, thoughtfully chosen places along our route — from the romantic rooftops of Venice to charming mountain villas in the Dolomites. You’ll feel the charm of Italy in every stop.

To keep this trip accessible and affordable, we’ll be sharing rooms in small groups of two to four women. Think cozy, bunking up with new friends, late-night laughter, and swapping stories over morning breakfast.

We’ve handpicked places that are clean, safe, and scenic — perfect for resting after a day of hiking, eating gelato, or riding cable cars through the clouds.

Worried about sharing a room with people you don’t know yet? Totally understandable — and also? This is where the magic happens. Many women come alone and leave with lifelong friends. We’ll create a space where everyone feels included, comfortable, and welcome from day one.

And if you’re an introvert or need a little quiet time — we totally get it. There will be plenty of space on the trail and in the schedule to recharge.

This is your adventure. We’re just here to make sure you feel held, seen, and supported every step of the way.

That depends on the nature of your injury or limitation — but here’s what we can tell you:

The terrain in the Dolomites is real-deal mountain hiking. Trails can include moderate inclines, uneven ground, and altitude changes. If you’re recovering from injury or have mobility restrictions, this may not be the right time for this particular retreat.

That said, if you’re strong, stable, and managing a minor issue (like a cranky knee or tight hips), we’ll work with you to make sure you feel supported and safe.

Feel free to reach out before booking, and we’ll talk it through honestly to help you decide if this is a yes for your body right now.

Absolutely. This is your retreat — not a race, not a test, and definitely not a guilt trip.

If your body is asking for rest on any given day, you’re always welcome to skip a hike, curl up with a book, or enjoy the stillness of the mountains at your own pace.

While we encourage you to join in on the full experience, listening to your body is part of the practice.

We’re here to guide, not pressure. This is about restoration, not achievement — and we trust you to know what’s best for you.

Honestly? We don’t know.

This retreat is a labor of love — handcrafted with intention, heart, and a whole lot of logistics. We only offer it when the timing, the place, and the people feel aligned.

So if this experience is tugging at your heart, don’t wait. Now is your chance to say yes to something unforgettable — because we truly don’t know if or when it will happen again.
