Flow To Fall
2nd Edition
Find balance and vitality in this serene retreat near
Stresa, Lago Maggiore - Italy
September 24 - 27th 2026
Flow to Fall - is about slowing down. Turning inward. Preparing ourselves for more introspective times ahead.
Grace and Illona invites you to join them into the second edition of the Flow to Fall Retreat where they will offer you some tools and support into flowing gracefully towards the winter months- the time that calls us in to rest and restore.
If we look to the animal world, we see the instinct to hibernate.
In the agricultural world, we see what is growing, the root vegetable grounding us and what is not, the watery vegetables that balances the heat from spring and summer. Everything in nature invites us to give less and receive more during this part of the cycle.
And yet, many of us struggle with this.
We are used to producing.
We were raised to believe that how much we do defines our worth.
But we know this is not true.
It is not about how much — it is about how.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we live in accordance with the seasons to maintain health.
Health is not only physical — it includes our emotions, our thoughts, our energy.
When we align with the laws of nature, when we allow ourselves to feel, to slow down, to contract when the season asks us to — we preserve our vitality, our Qi also known as life force.
What if we made time for rest — not as an afterthought, but as a foundational part of our lives?
This retreat is created exactly for that.
A space to down-regulate.
To become comfortable with less stimulation.
To allow your pace to soften.
To properly integrate the food you eat.
To be fully present with the people you meet and the things you do.
To listen to the thoughts passing through your mind — and even consciously choose them.
If this resonates with you, we would be honored to welcome you for this long weekend.
A pause.
A moment.
A practice of stillness and connection to your body through meditation, breathwork, and yoga.
Nourishing your body with proper nutrition and real, locally sourced ingredients.
Connecting with others through joyful conversation and shared experience.
An invitation to slow down together.
