Nestled deep in the rolling valleys of Umbria, within a UNESCO-protected biosphere, is where time slows and the Earth’s energy restores. The Way of Five Elements Retreat is an invitation to step into this sacred landscape—a retreat designed to ground, heal, and reconnect you to the rhythms of nature.

Amidst the whispering cypress trees and stone monasteries of Italy’s spiritual heartland, this retreat, led by Remarkable Transformer, Stephanie Hoo, draws upon the ancient wisdom of the Earth Element to anchor body, mind, and soul. You will rediscover stillness, clarity, and balance through daily Qigong, guided meditation, and immersive healing practices. Engage in mindful movement, breathwork, and hands-on healing as the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine unfolds in a setting of deep tranquillity.
Each day, experience forest immersion therapy, sound healing, and the power of Psychedelic Breathwork—transformative sessions designed to dissolve stress and awaken inner potential. Connect with the land through a truffle hunt and vineyard lunch, uncovering the flavours and traditions of Umbria. In candlelit evenings, retreat into the peace of a historic monastery, where Gregorian chants fill the air, amplifying the sense of serenity.

Set within a restored 14th-century Benedictine monastery, Eremito, this retreat sanctuary is one of the world’s most celebrated eco-hotels—listed on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List. Here, solar-powered sustainability meets centuries-old Italian heritage, creating an atmosphere of peace and quiet that invites deep restoration.
Step away from modern distractions and immerse in the simple beauty of silence. The retreat’s shala, set amidst bamboo groves and overlooking untouched valleys, provides a sacred space for movement and meditation. A Roman-inspired steam bath and jacuzzi offer further healing, while moments of reflection can be found in the candlelit chapel, a quiet reading nook, or beneath the vast, starlit Umbrian sky.

This is your opportunity to step away from the noise, reconnect with the wisdom of the Earth, and embrace a life of greater harmony. The valleys of Umbria await. Are you ready to answer the call?
