UNDISCOVERED UMBRIA
UNLEASH YOUR WILD HEART IN
NOT IN KANSAS, ANYMORE
Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime? Has your wild self been calling to you, strangled by overwork in the big city, with no real tree in sight? Are you ready to slow life down a bit?
Do you long to stroll down cobblestone streets, drink your morning coffee next to an ancient olive grove and dip your feet in the cold, soothing waters of a mountain stream?
We are ready for you.

Seven nights, seven days
Who is this for?
Women, men–humans from every walk of life. You're in your working prime. Life is good, but you're also very busy. Let's say it: too busy. All you need is a moment to slow down. Some "me" time. A chance to quiet your mind, to turn down all the noise. You want to let loose a bit, have some fun, while also getting a chance to freakin' relax, in the company of some cool peeps. You've got the cash and you want to be a little pampered, but maybe you struggle to find the time.
You don't want to see just the same touristy things or be crushed by the opressive crowds. You want to get off the beaten path; explore something new, perhaps a new side of you! Heck, maybe you want to make a friend or two, without any of the boring small talk.
Maybe you desperately need some quality time in nature–or some quality time with yourself.
Well, we've got ya. Our Retreat is your ticket to sanity. Boom.

We invite you to...
RETURN TO THE WILD
There is a wild place within each one of us. It is filled with passion, with fire, with the will to live and express. All to often, we ignore our need for expression, for liberation. But no more.
Spirit Kin is ready to take you by the hand. Plunge into crystal clear streams, feel the sun on your face, the wind in your hair, howl at the moon, rub mud on your skin, or swim naked in the falls.
Every human needs to feel free to be her / him self fully.
NURTURE LIMB & SOUL
Our bodily temples are just that: places that should be revered. How well have you treated yourself lately? Inside & out? Have you let self-care fall by the wayside amidst the daily grind?
Join us to turn back the dial. To reset. Give a little, or a lot, more TLC to body, mind & soul. We will have daily yoga & meditation, with a chance to nurture the body with sauna, spa, time poolside, and elective massage.
Nurture soul with deep, revitalizing connection, to both yourself & new soul-friends.
EAT LIKE A QUEEN
It's no surprise that Italy is a hot spot for gastronomic tourists the world over. Her culinary tradition dates back generations, if not millenia.
Treat yourself to some of the best food on the planet. Not only is it more tasty, bursting with flavor, than what you have at home, it also stems from one of the healthiest diets on the planet.
If Italy does one thing well without fail, it's her food. Come enjoy the bounty & abundance of a cuisine that's won the hearts of humans everywhere.
CONNECT & COMMUNE
Get in the vibe & find your tribe. Just when you were about to pull your hair out from "never finding your people" you've stumbled upon the right doorstep.
We'll have sacred musical evenings, singing saunas, sun-bathing parties, coffee & gelato marathons, and sweet moments of eye-to-eye connection all throughout this retreat. It's a core foundation of what Spirt Kin does well.
Connection is our bread & butter. Our 101. Fo' sho'.
A new you.
After this Retreat, you will feel ready to take on life again. Your furture self will thank you. You will feel revitalized, recharged & re-inspired. Your heart will be full, your belly happy. You'll have a new pep in your step.
Every single thing in nature needs time to recharge. When you give yourself this gift, you can't help but be changed by it: uplifted, relieved & grateful. We can absolutltely promise you that you won't have regretted taking the leap.
Think of this as an investment in yourself. In your happiness. Your sanity. Your peace of mind. What could be more valuable than these!?! They're beyond metrics, beyond a price tag.
After all the moments of real connection, the cleansing cold water plunges and detoxifying saunas, combined with the perfect blend of active hiking and adventuring & regenerative yoga and meditation: you will feel like a new human!
We promise it.
What we gonna do?
You could think of it as an adventure-wellness retreat: hiking, swimming & relaxing–with some special connectivity sauce sprinkled on top.
Hike like champs
On multiple days we'll spend the whole morning out hiking: up waterfalls & around mountain tops. Just what the good Dr. ordered.
Swim like fish
We've got some magical swimming holes up our sleeves. Prepare to be amazed. And to be swimming & immersed in cleansing, cold water.
Sharing is caring. Or at least we have found how profound it can be to meaningfully share together. We'll do daily check-ins & connective work.
Share like family
Let's dolce-vita it up
Take this special moment for YOU!
ACCOMODATION, BABE
COLLE MURA
Gualdo Tadino, PG Italy
We'll be staying at two incredible properties, the first is Agriturismo Colle Mura designed by a local architect and run by an incredible young couple. Both are chefs. Joss is the Agri's main chef, having worked in top notch locals in London, while Luca, her husband, still owns an Italian restaurant there. Their infant, Stella, is adorable, and adds to the general chill, family-friendly vibe at this low-key but beautiful paradise set in the Umbrian countryside.
A PIECE OF HISTORY
SAN BIAGIO
Nocera Umbra, PG Italy
Our second hotel is the Antico Monastero di San Biagio, situated on the slopes of Mount Subasio, with its roots dating back to the year 1000. The complex was actually built on the ruins of a 9th-century pagan altar. As seen from the Papal records of 1333, the site achieved significant spiritual importance and by the end of the 14th century, due to its strategic position near the ancient Via Flaminia, the monastery became a vital hostel for pilgrims traveling toward the Holy Land.
The ancient complex has been carefully restored while preserving its original stone architecture, timber beams, and austere monastic charm. Today it operates as a wellness retreat, luxury hotel and event venue, featuring rooms derived from former monk cells, a spa that utilizes local medicinal herbs and famous Nocera Umbra mineral waters, an internal craft brewery and a dedicated restaurant serving traditional Umbrian fare.
Hey, Roomie
At both of our hotels you have the choice to room with a fellow participant or pay a supplemental fee and have your own single room–ever dependent on availability.
A FEAST FOR THE SOUL
LET'S TALK FOOD
Food is an ingredient that can either make or break an otherwise great trip. When done well, it's like the cherry on top that just pushes everything over the edge. When done poorly, well, we can sometimes wish we'd cooked it ourselves at home.
On this trip we'll be catered for by extremely experienced chefs who have not only studied Umbrian cuisine but always add their own, unique spin. The food is carefully curated to be the best & most authentic experience possible.
Some meals will more more informal, including a couple picnics and sack lunches while hiking, one on-your-own lunch, and then a few fancy, dress-up dinners with Umbria's finest dishes.
Because we all know why we're here.
