Are you tired of feeling unseen in your personal relationships, undervalued at work, or emotionally disconnected from yourself? Maybe you find yourself repeating the same arguments, people-pleasing at your own expense, or constantly battling self-doubt and overthinking. These aren’t just passing moments. They’re signs of a deeper misalignment in your relationship with yourself and others.

At The Art of Connection Retreat, Dr. Alina Charnavusava and I will combine our powerful and complementary methods to help you rewrite that story. Dr. Alina brings her expertise in Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, emotions, and inner wisdom, and I will guide you through transformational hypnotherapy and subconscious healing to uncover and rewire the beliefs and blocks that quietly shape your life.

Through a fusion of embodied exploration, subconscious rewiring, and heart-centered presence, we’ll guide you through a unique process of embodied deep inner work designed to bring clarity, healing, and authentic connection. Whether you’re seeking more intimacy, ease in communication, confidence, or simply peace within.

This retreat is your invitation to transform how you relate to yourself, to others, and to life itself.

The Location.

I CASALI DEL SORATTE are a complex of farmhouses immersed in an uncontaminated environment.  Rich in history, within the Reserve of Mount Soratte, they are near the Tevere-Farfa natural reserve.

Nestled in the hills between the towns of Sant’Oreste, Nazzano and Ponzano Romano, they are in an ideal position to enjoy the magnificent view and the particular energy of Mount Soratte.

The relaxation and peaceful state of mind inspired by the surroundings facilitate meditation and inner listening: the pleasure of being immersed in natural elements will support and enhance your experience.

The 35 acres of the estate, hills, woods, fields, olive groves and vegetable gardens, offer the perfect setting for your serenity.

During your stay, you will also have access to relax in the hot tub or sauna, all included in your retreat.

You may also book massages – they are additional and need to be booked beforehand.

The two owners, Debbie Chiat and Alfredo D’Angelo have studied extensively in the field of holistic disciplines, which makes them the perfect duo for our collaboration.
