Embracing Our Authentic Joy
This is a five-day / four-night spiritual workshop in Tuscany that happens just once per year. New York therapist Valerie Simon, LCSW, PAT, comes over to Italy to join Rome-based artist Claudia Palmira for a deeply transformational experience. We uniquely use psychodramatic techniques in combination with yoga and optional massage. The location is a gorgeous hilltop farmhouse with views extending to the Tyrrhenian Sea, enhancing the deep relaxation and letting go we do together.
It’s been said that it’s imperative to enjoy life!
Ye it is easy to lose sight of everything that brings us happiness with the chaos of our daily routines. Between family, work, finances, and so much more, we often forget everything that has led us to who we are, and what our deep pleasures and joy come from. In order to bring awareness and practical applications of happiness back to your real life though, you must first break away from real life. We will go deep in our explorations to uncover and support your version of joyful living.
Last minute booking is now available for anyone spontaneous enough to take the leap!
