Come toYour Senses ~ Southern Italy Retreat
Nourish your body, mind & spirit Southern Italy!
Join Julianne Corey & Robin Shaw as your guides through a week-long retreat that will engage all of your senses- you’ll soak up the beauty of the landscape, flavors of the Puglian regional cuisine, feel the sun on your face, the slower pace, and la dolce vita pulsing through your cells in our daily somatic dance and yoga practices!
October 25 -31, 2025 ~ Enjoy 6 nights/ 7 days on the expansive property located in historic Martina Franca, a Puglian village between the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The property is idyllic with fruit trees, private forest and walking trails, pool and spa services as well as a spectacular movement space converted from an old stone barn. We will practice daily movement and mindfulness, and engage in self-exploration through expressive arts experiences. We will take excursions to discover the coastal landscape and local culture.
There will be ample time for swimming in the pool overlooking the countryside, relaxing in one of the many nooks or outdoor spaces, dining al fresco, and soaking up the culture and beauty of Italy, with a fabulous community of movers!
Your retreat facilitators have a combined 50+ years of leading somatic movement, with backgrounds in the arts and therapeutic processes. Robin Shaw is a highly trained and experienced Bodyworker and Yoga Teacher, a Life Coach, and dancer.
