A journey for quietly curious, thoughtful travelers seeking to awaken all five senses — and feel more at ease in their own life.
Hosted by Trip of the Senses | Tuscany, Italy | 11–17 October 2025
You Haven’t Lost Yourself—You’ve Just Been Drowning in Noise.
You Haven’t Lost Yourself—You’ve Just Been Drowning in Noise.
You’ve been holding a lot. The to-do lists. The emails. The quiet ache of forgetting what joy feels like in your body. It’s no wonder your senses have dulled. Trip of the Senses invites you to step out of the noise—and into a curated journey of rinascimento—rebirth. Not through pressure. But through presence. Through food, scent, beauty, movement, and stillness, we’ll help you feel again. Taste again. See again. Not the world as it should be—but the world as it is, when you return to yourself.
Yes, I’m Ready to Feel Again
This retreat is for you if…
This retreat is for you if…
You’re well-traveled, yet you long for something deeper
You’re tired of numbing, rushing, or just going through the motions
You’re craving time that stretches, days that feel meaningful again
You want to reconnect with joy, creativity, curiosity, and slowness
You’re ready to invest—not just money—but attention back into your own life
What We’ll Explore
What We’ll Explore
What happens when you tune into your five senses—on purpose
How your body holds memory, meaning, and messages
Why joy, slowness, and beauty are not indulgent—but essential
How to create a symbolic ritual of rebirth through scent
How to come home to yourself in a place that feels like a living painting
How We'll Do It, Trip of the Senses Way
How We'll Do It, Trip of the Senses Way
This isn’t a jam-packed retreat or a photo-op tour...
This is space—soft, sensory, and thoughtfully designed.
You’ll experience:
Gentle yoga and grounding breath each morning
Journaling prompts to stir what’s been quiet
Wine tastings and countryside feasts that speak of soil and sun
A walk through historic perfumeries and markets, alive with scent
A custom perfume you’ll craft to carry your rebirth home
Rest. Stillness. Nature. Warmth.
And conversations that matter—around tables, under stars

PLACES TO LAND, SOFTEN, AND QUIETLY BEGIN AGAIN
Hotel Milano Scala (Milan)
Hotel Milano Scala (Milan)
An eco-conscious boutique hotel tucked in the heart of Milan. Here, green rooftops bloom above city noise, and the scent of herbs greets you as you arrive. Rooms are serene, simple, and breathable. You’ll land here softly—before the journey truly begins. Subject to availability. A similar boutique stay may be confirmed.
Torre di Bellosguardo (Florence)
Torre di Bellosguardo (Florence)
A 15th-century villa resting on the hills above Florence. Once a Renaissance retreat, now a sanctuary of olive trees, antique stone, and soul-deep stillness. You’ll wake to silence. Breathe in old wood and lavender. And fall asleep to city lights twinkling far below. Final accommodation may vary slightly, but comfort and charm will remain at the heart of your stay.
Cappuccina Country Resort (San Gimignano)
Cappuccina Country Resort (San Gimignano)
Surrounded by vines and cypress trees, this rustic resort offers quiet comfort in the rolling hills. Think terracotta floors, windows that open to olive groves, and a softness in the air that lingers on your skin. The kind of place where the day stretches gently—and so do you. If not available, a comparable property will be arranged with the same care.
Borgo San Luigi (Monteriggioni)
Borgo San Luigi (Monteriggioni)
A restored 17th-century estate where nature, luxury, and time slow down together. You’ll find hammocks under fig trees, hidden nooks for reading or reflection, and grass that invites bare feet. You may not want to leave—but you’ll take the stillness with you. Actual stay may differ, though thoughtfully selected to match the experience.

FAQs
FAQs
FAQs 1
FAQs 1
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.
FAQs 2
FAQs 2
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.
