Hosted by Trip of the Senses | Tuscany, Italy | 18–24 April 2026
Somewhere in the noise, your imagination dimmed. Your creativity softened under the weight of responsibility. You’ve been holding so much—deadlines, expectations, the constant need to stay “on.” It’s no wonder your senses dulled. Trip of the Senses invites you to step out of the noise—and into a quiet journey of rinascimento—rebirth. Not through productivity. But through presence. Through taste, scent, movement, beauty, and stillness, you don’t force creativity—you feel it return. You leave rested, grounded, and quietly alive again. A personal renaissance, carried home with you.
Yes, I’m Ready to Feel Again
You’re well-traveled, but something deeper is calling you.
You’re tired of numbing, rushing, or running on autopilot.
You’re craving inspiration — not noise.
You want to reconnect with joy, play, and the pleasure of being present.
You’re ready to invest not just money, but attention and presence back into your own life.
You want a journey where beauty, rest, and imagination intertwine.
If this feels like you — you’re exactly who this journey was designed for.
On this journey, we explore more than landscapes, flavors, and historic towns. We explore you — your senses, your memories, your creativity, your inner rhythm.
Here’s what this retreat gently opens for you:
What happens when you tune into your five senses — intentionally.
How your body holds memory, meaning, and creative energy.
Why joy, slowness, and beauty are not indulgences — but fuel.
How simple creative tools can gently shift how you think.
How to create a symbolic ritual of rebirth through scent.
How to return home seeing the world — and your life — differently.
This isn’t a jam-packed retreat. This isn’t a content-heavy workshop. And it definitely isn’t a photo-op tour. This is space — soft, sensory, intentional space — designed to help you feel more alive, more grounded, and more creatively awake.
We do this the Trip of the Senses way:
Gentle movement and breath each morning
Journaling prompts that stir what’s been quiet
Landscapes, flavors, and textures that spark imagination
Walks through historic perfumeries and markets, alive with scent
A custom perfume you’ll craft — your ritual of creative rebirth
Rest. Stillness. Nature. Warmth.
Conversations that matter — around tables, under stars
TRIP OF THE SENSES — ITALY EDITION
Sensory Awakening · Creative Rebirth · Gentle Rhythm
This is not a packed tour. It’s a guided unfolding. Each day invites a different sense to lead — through movement, taste, scent, landscape, and quiet reflection — so creativity can return without force. All long-distance travel is supported by private LDC (car/coach), allowing your nervous system to stay settled and present.
Saturday, 18 April · Milan
You arrive in Milan and are gently welcomed into the rhythm of the journey.
From the very beginning, there is support — transport is ready, timing is held. We begin with lunch together, easing into shared space and conversation.
After check-in at Radisson Blu Milan, the afternoon opens up. This is time to rest. To shower off the journey. To let your body arrive before your mind does.
In the evening, we gather again for dinner — warm, familiar flavors, no rush. A soft closing to your first day in Italy. You sleep knowing: you’ve arrived — and you’re held.

The start of your new journey
PLACES TO LAND, SOFTEN, AND QUIETLY BEGIN AGAIN
Your surroundings shape your inner rhythm. On this journey, each place you stay is chosen not only for comfort — but for its ability to slow you down, soften your senses, and invite presence. These are not just hotels. They are pauses. Thresholds. Spaces where your nervous system can exhale — and creativity can return without effort. Every room becomes part of your sensory and creative rebirth. Every morning begins a little more gently than the last.
A calm, contemporary retreat tucked away from the city’s intensity —designed for restoration rather than stimulation.
Clean lines. Quiet rooms. Breathing space after long travels.
This is where you arrive and decompress — where your body catches up with your mind, and the noise of everyday life begins to soften.
Your first step into the journey. A place to land, rest, and gently begin again.
Subject to availability. A similar boutique stay may be confirmed.
A restored 17th-century estate nestled in the Tuscan countryside —where time slows, and nature sets the pace.
Wide skies. Ancient stone. Paths made for wandering without destination.
Here, stillness arrives naturally. Hammocks under trees. Quiet corners for journaling or reflection. Grass that invites barefoot moments.
You may feel yourself expanding — not outward, but inward.
This is where depth settles in, and new ideas rise quietly, without force.
Subject to availability. A similar boutique stay may be confirmed.
A modern sanctuary in the heart of Florence — clean, light-filled, and intentionally uncluttered.
Perfectly placed for gentle exploration, yet calm enough to retreat inward at the end of the day.
This is where the journey integrates. Where movement, scent, and memory weave together. Where evenings feel spacious, and mornings feel unhurried.
You’ll rest well here — held between the energy of the city and the softness you’ve cultivated along the way.
Subject to availability. A similar boutique stay may be confirmed.
A journey designed to nourish every sense — and quietly rekindle your creativity
You don’t need to plan. You don’t need to manage. You don’t need to think about logistics. We’ve already taken care of the essentials, the rhythm, the beauty, and the transitions — so you can stay present with your senses, your inspiration, and the subtle inner shifts that unfold along the way.

Trip of the Senses is more than a travel experience — it is a gentle return to your inner rhythm. This journey is designed to awaken and harmonize all five senses — sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch — and through them, reconnect you with the clarity, creativity, and calm that everyday life often blurs.
We curate immersive getaways that go beyond sightseeing. Here, presence is the priority. Meaning is woven into every moment. And your senses become pathways to stillness, insight, and inspiration.
You’ll savor local cuisine that tells stories of land and lineage. You’ll walk through landscapes that feel like living paintings. You’ll meditate to the subtle sounds of hills and villages. You’ll engage in hands-on cultural experiences that root you in the moment.
Every detail is crafted to bring you closer — to the world, to yourself, and to your creative spark.
Trip of the Senses is not just travel. It is a transformative, sensory-centered path back to inner harmony.
Step into a journey where every moment feels intentional, where every sense becomes an entry point to presence.
Trip of the Senses isn’t a typical vacation. It’s a powerful reset for your mind, body, and creative self.
Picture this:
You’re tasting dishes made with local ingredients, prepared slowly and lovingly. You’re hearing the rhythm of nature in quiet corners of Tuscany. You’re feeling the earth under your feet, the breeze on your skin, the warm sun on your shoulders. You’re breathing air that feels clean and generous.
Our carefully curated experiences help you disconnect from stress — and reconnect with yourself. With clarity. With inspiration.
This is travel that stays with you long after you return home.
Your senses are not passive. They’re powerful gateways into presence, creativity, memory, and meaning.
At Trip of the Senses, we design immersive journeys that activate all five senses to bring you fully into the now — where insight and inspiration naturally unfold.
From the scent of nature after rainfall to the taste of food harvested hours before, to the stillness of ancient stone walls — every detail grounds you, heals you, softens you.
This isn’t escape. It’s reconnection.
A journey toward balance that feels nourishing, honest, and deeply human.
Let your senses lead you home — one unforgettable moment at a time.
Imagine a journey where every experience is designed not just to be seen — but to be felt, deeply and fully.
Trip of the Senses takes you on a transformative escape where sight, sound, scent, taste, and touch work together to reawaken your awareness and restore your inner calm.
Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Hear the calming rustle of Tuscan leaves. Taste flavors rooted in centuries-old tradition. Breathe in the quieting essence of untouched landscapes.
This is not ordinary travel.
This is a full-body, soul-deep reset through the power of your senses —and a rekindling of your creativity.
Why settle for a trip that only entertains your eyes, when your whole being is ready to awaken?
At Trip of the Senses, we go far beyond typical tours. We craft sensory-rich adventures that restore your inner balance and gently spark creative insights.
From sunrise meditations and serene forest walks to local culinary rituals and hands-on artistry — every experience grounds you in the present and opens pathways for personal transformation.
This is travel with depth, intention, and purpose. A journey where your senses guide the way, and your well-being becomes the destination.
Yudha, the visionary founder of Trip of the Senses, blends his passion for sports, cuisine, and community development into experiences that nourish body, mind, and spirit.
Having traveled the world, he understands what it means to feel disconnected — and what it takes to return to presence.
For him, food, movement, and human connection are portals into meaning.
With a grounded presence and a heart for people, Yudha curates journeys that awaken the senses, rejuvenate the soul, and inspire a deeper way of experiencing the world.
His mission is simple: travel shouldn’t just show you something new — it should help you feel something real.
Utari — co-founder, guide, and the creative soul behind the sensory and visual identity of this journey — is a brand and graphic designer by trade.
Having trained in art and design school and worked in the field since graduating, she has spent years helping others communicate their essence through visuals — and now uses that expertise to build her own businesses and teach others to build theirs.
A passionate yoga guide + practitioner and a singer at heart, Utari blends movement, sound, creativity, and design into a unique form of guidance.
With her, stillness becomes expressive. Breath becomes clarity. Journaling becomes insight. Design becomes storytelling.
She believes deeply in the transformative power of intentional living — where aesthetics, presence, and creativity work together to reveal your inner rhythm.
Utari holds space with warmth and calm, inviting travelers to reconnect with their bodies, their imagination, and their quiet inner knowing.
Veri — co-founder of Trip of the Senses — is driven by an unwavering passion for food, culture, and the way flavors bring people together.
With extensive experience in human resources and a love for exploring global cuisines, he believes that food is more than nourishment — it’s a sensory experience, a memory-maker, a way of understanding the world.
Having traveled widely, Veri curates culinary journeys that celebrate tradition, craft, and connection.
He helps travelers discover that food is both grounding and inspiring — a bridge between people, places, and stories.
Veri’s mission is to offer guests not only a taste of Tuscany, but an invitation to savor life more deeply, more slowly, and more consciously.
This retreat is non-refundable and non-transferable. Your booking secures a limited guest spot, pre-arranged accommodations, and curated experiences.
A moderate level of physical mobility is required. Tuscany involves walking—through markets, gardens, hills, and historic paths.
Visa assistance is available only to participants based in Jakarta, where we can support with application logistics and paperwork.
Participants are responsible for securing their Schengen visa and any other required travel documents. Approval is not guaranteed.
Flights are arranged only from Jakarta to Milan (round-trip) for guests selecting the Flights Package. All other guests should book independently.
Travel insurance is required, including coverage for medical emergencies, cancellations, and potential disruptions. This protects your peace of mind and your investment.
Q: Do I need to be super fit, flexible, or spiritual to join?
Not at all. But Tuscany is physical in its own way — cobblestone streets, rolling vineyards, long lunches on foot. You’ll need to be comfortable with daily walking, light activity, and being on your feet. Yoga is gentle, restorative, and always optional.
Q: What if I don’t know anyone? Can I come alone?
Please do. Many of our guests come solo — and end up feeling deeply supported. This is a space for soft reconnection, whether you're traveling with a friend or meeting yourself more clearly.
Q: Will I have enough time to rest or wander alone?
Absolutely. Spaciousness is built into the rhythm of the week. We believe rest is sacred. You'll have plenty of open time to journal, sip coffee, explore quietly, or nap in the sun.
Q: What’s the group vibe like?
Small, thoughtful, unhurried. This is not a retreat for people-pleasing, performance, or party energy. It’s for soulful travelers who want to feel — not impress. We move slowly, speak kindly, and respect each other’s pace.
Q: Do I need to unplug?
Wi-Fi is available in all accommodations. But we gently encourage partial disconnection. Let the hills hold your thoughts. Let the moment replace the scroll.
Q: Can you help with my visa?
Yes — only if you're applying from Jakarta. We’ll guide you through the process with official documents and application tips. All fees and embassy appointments remain your responsibility, and approval is never guaranteed.
Q: Where are the flights from?
All flights arranged in the Retreat + Flights package depart from Jakarta (CGK) to Milan (MXP) and return to Jakarta. If you're traveling from another city or country, please book your own flights and choose the Retreat-Only package.
Q: Can I extend my stay in Italy before or after?
Yes — and we’re happy to recommend beautiful places to stay, eat, and explore if you wish to continue your journey.
Just make sure to check your visa’s duration and avoid overstaying your permitted time in the Schengen area. You are fully responsible for ensuring your travel dates fall within your approved visa window.
Q: What happens if I need to cancel?
Due to the intimate and pre-arranged nature of this retreat, all bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable. We strongly recommend travel insurance for peace of mind in case of illness, visa denial, or unexpected circumstances.
Q: Is this retreat for women only?
Not at all. This experience is open to anyone seeking reconnection, reflection, and sensory presence. If you resonate with the intention, you’re welcome here.
Q: Can I share a room with someone I know?
Yes. If you and a friend or partner are traveling together and would like to share a room, just let us know during registration and we’ll pair you accordingly. Otherwise, we’ll gently match you with another guest if you choose a shared room.
Q: Is there a recommended age range for this retreat?
We welcome guests age 25 and up, with no upper limit — as long as you're open to gentle movement, mindful travel, and rich sensory experience.
Q: Is this retreat religious or spiritual?
No — but it is deeply intentional. We create space for reflection, ritual, and meaningful journaling. There are no belief systems required or promoted — just curiosity, presence, and respect for your own inner process.
Q: What’s the dress code or packing vibe?
Comfortable, soft, and simple. We’ll send a detailed packing list closer to departure, but think: layers, loose fabrics, flat shoes, and one outfit that makes you feel radiant. Tuscany can be warm in the day and cool in the evening.
Q: Will meals accommodate dietary preferences?
We do our best to accommodate vegetarian and dairy-light requests. Please let us know in advance about allergies or special needs so we can coordinate with our hosts. This is a plant-forward retreat, but not exclusively vegan or gluten-free.
Q: Can I have wine or is this a detox-style retreat?
This isn’t a detox. This is a pleasure-positive retreat — with wine tastings, aperitivos, and shared meals, all in the spirit of savoring, not overindulging. There’s no pressure to drink — but wine is joyfully welcome here.
