Come to Your Senses in Tuscany

June 12-19, 2010

We invite you to the vacation of your dreams – a week of sensual delight in beautiful

Italy. Join us in incomparable Tuscany for a week of making friends, relaxing and

exploring the good life.

We believe that in today's fast-paced world, where hard-working people spend their

days harnessed to computers and cell phones, it is spiritually rewarding to take time

to refine simple pleasures.

This retreat offers more than simply the opportunity to get away from ordinary life. We

are inspired by the ancient philosophy of Epicureanism. Dating from the 4th century

B.C., Epicureanism taught that the pleasures of the senses offer an immediately

verifiable standard of truth and therefore can serve to cultivate wisdom, justice, and

happiness.

This is our tenth year of facilitating retreats for gay men in Italy.  We offer you the

opportunity to see one of the world's truly grand destinations with people who know

Italy and who like to experience places often unseen by casual visitors.  We help you

explore the difference between "tourist" and "traveler,"

and to really appreciate this marvelous place.

Facilitated by John Ballew and Don Shewey
