Art, Nature and Self-Discovery in Tuscany by Ilaria De Marchi & Lorenzo Vignoli
A space to slow down, reconnect and create.
Welcome to Tuscany Soul Retreats, a series of creative and mindful experiences designed for those who wish to pause, breathe and rediscover themselves through art, nature and beauty.
Hosted in the hills of Camaiore, near Pietrasanta and Carrara, our retreats offer a unique blend of art therapy, mindfulness, and connection with the natural world — surrounded by olive trees, silence and the light of Tuscany.
Whether you come alone, as a couple or with a small group, each retreat is a journey back to what truly matters: presence, creativity, and inner balance.
What we offer
The “Time for You” retreats are not just simple stays, but transformative journeys guided step by step.
Through tailored techniques and practices, I support participants on their path of inner regeneration, helping them regain balance, strength, and clarity.
Practices may include:
passive and active meditations
art therapy and clay workshops
body awareness and inner listening exercises
meditative walks in nature
creative rituals and moments of sharing
couple exercises
My role is to create a safe and welcoming space where every person – or couple – feels guided, supported, and free to express themselves and to find new paths for themselves or way of living.

Authenticity – no performance, no pressure, just being real.
Every retreat is guided by Ilaria De Marchi, art therapist and life coach, and Lorenzo Vignoli, sculptor and artistic mentor. Together, they offer a space where creativity becomes connection — with oneself, with others, and with life.
