welcome

La Dolce Vita retreat is an invitation to immerse yourself in your yoga and movement practice, breathe deeply and find the beauty in life’s simple moments. Located in the Italian countryside north of Rome, this experience offers a peaceful escape from the rush of daily life.

the retreat

July 20 - 26, 2025

Say yes to a serene 7-day, 6-night stay in the Sabine hills, where you can recharge and rejuvenate in an intentional way. This retreat is all about creating space within, listening to your intuition, and enjoying a relaxing summer holiday in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Through mindful movement on the mat, time spent in nature, grounding meditations, and friendships with new friends, you’ll find a rhythm that nourishes you from the inside out.

We'll move in sync with the land, rising with the sun and resting during darkness. The new moon falls on the fifth day of the retreat —an ideal time for dreaming up new ideas and setting intentions for the future. By the end of the week, you’ll feel lighter, more balanced, and full of new energy to bring back to your everyday life.

what previous guests are saying…

  • The Glow Method retreat at Meadowsweet in Tuscany was truly a life-changing experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a world of beauty, wellness, and profound personal growth. The setting itself was breathtaking – the rolling hills of Tuscany provided a stunning backdrop for our daily activities. But it wasn't just the scenery that made this retreat special; it was the thoughtful curation of experiences that engaged all the senses and nourished body, mind, and spirit. The twice-daily yoga and pilates classes were nothing short of transformative, offering deep insights in calm settings (outside and in the yurt!) set to uplifting music. But what truly set this retreat apart were the unexpected extras: mushroom walks that connected us with nature, rejuvenating massages, relaxing sauna sessions, and delightful tea ceremonies. The cooking class was a particular highlight, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the rich culinary traditions of Tuscany. Everything was executed with great care and a generous warm spirit. Every meal was a labor of love, lovingly prepared to nourish our bodies and delight our taste buds. The attention to detail in every aspect of the retreat was remarkable, creating a holistic experience that felt both indulgent and deeply nurturing. Most importantly, the retreat fostered a sense of community among like-minded individuals. The heart-centered group that Kaylie and Maddy attracted made every moment feel special and meaningful. The connections formed during our time together added an invaluable dimension to the experience. It was great to see long time friends collaborate! And I look forward to keeping in touch with the group as we move forward in our lives. This retreat was so much more than a yoga/pilates getaway– it was a journey of self-discovery and renewal. The Glow Method retreat has left an indelible mark on my life, providing me with experiences and connections that I will carry with me long after leaving the beautiful Tuscan countryside. For anyone seeking a truly transformative experience that engages all aspects of their being, I cannot recommend The Glow Method retreat highly enough. You deserve to take care of yourself! And this IS the way to do it.

  • If you’re questioning doing a retreat with Kaylie, 1000% do it. It was one of the most special experiences of my life and I couldn’t recommend it more. I was a little nervous to travel by myself without knowing anyone, but Kaylie attracted incredible people and made everyone feel so comfortable. It was the perfect balance of relaxation, movement and group activities - I left the retreat feeling refreshed and with lifelong connections.

  • The Re-Connect Retreat was truly a dream. Each day was filled with meditation, movement, and fresh food. Kaylie and Maddie created such a positive and welcoming environment and led amazing workouts!
