People travel to Italy in many ways, but this workshop of exploring your senses in one of the earth’s richest areas might be the most exhilarating. 

What better way to explore this region than with a group of gay men from around North America and beyond?  Participants share meals together, explore together and become friends with one another.  Savoring one of the most beautiful places anywhere in the company of congenial companions....what could be better?

 Our days together give us time to tour the ancient and beautiful land around us. We will sample hill towns, monasteries, a local winery and other places.  But this is more than simply hitting the highlights from a guidebook.  We’ll learn a bit about the history and texture of the region to gain greater understanding and to more fully appreciate its vibrancy.

 We can’t help being aware of Tuscany as the cradle of the Renaissance.  How does the food, the culture, the sunlight inspire such an outpouring of vision and artistry?  What are the roots of creativity? We stay in an authentic Tuscan farmhouse in the midst of a working vineyard and olive grove near a tiny village just outside of Siena. Our chef will prepare classic Tuscan breakfasts and dinners (including wine) each day.

This retreat also provides the opportunity to experience the camaraderie of other men.  By sharing fun and self-exploration, we’ll grow in self-awareness and make new friends.  (The size of the group is limited to about 10 participants.)
