ALYSHA
FOUNDER OF SOUL/O
Why Tuscany Holds a Special Place in My Heart
When I returned to Italy to plan this retreat, I was overwhelmed by how much this place had shaped my journey. Tuscany was where I thought I’d begin an exciting new chapter with someone else, but life had other plans. Instead, it became the place where I began to heal, rediscover myself, and embrace a new kind of happiness—a happiness rooted in saying "yes" to myself.
After a life-altering breakup and the end of my engagement, I found myself standing at a crossroads. Instead of staying stuck, I chose to step boldly into the unknown. That decision sparked the creation of SOUL/O Travel—a space to empower women to embrace their journeys, no matter where they lead.
Planning this retreat in Tuscany has been deeply emotional and healing. The same hills, vineyards, and cobblestone streets that once represented heartbreak are now a symbol of resilience and transformation. Tuscany has taught me that life’s twists and turns often lead us to something even more beautiful than we imagined.
This retreat isn’t just about exploring Tuscany’s beauty—it’s about creating space for your own healing, growth, and self-discovery. It’s a chance to pause, reconnect with yourself, and write a new chapter surrounded by other incredible women.
Tuscany holds a special place in my heart, and I’m honored to share its magic with you. This is more than a retreat; it’s a chance to embrace your journey, just as I’ve embraced mine.
Let’s walk this path together.

While we’ll visit other towns, these excursions are leisurely and self-paced. Yoga sessions are part of the retreat but are tailored to be gentle and restorative.
If that sounds good to you, you’ll do great! If you have any specific questions or concerns, we’re more than happy to discuss them to ensure this retreat feels perfect for you.
