I stepped into this adventure last minute and didn't regret it one minute. What a fantastic location, the villa, the gardens, the mulberry tree, the spa, the great program and delicious food. Cheers for our private chef. Terzo di Danciano is a paradise and the staff was very caring and hospitable. I felt very pampered and relaxed. I loved the combination of movement and Kabbalah. Two of my great passions in life. Dancing the Tree of Life was a first time experience for me, connecting my dancing of the Hebrew letters to the Sefirot. The drawing of my colorful tree, full of Hebrew letters is hanging in my home now. The excursions to Sienna and Cortona were interesting and added more context to our stay in Tuscany. It gave me a taste of the surroundings and its medieval history. A huge thank you to Kriszti and Janice for creating this unique experience.

I had a wonderful time. It checked all the boxes: great people, delicious food, art, writing, and dance. All in a beautiful place.

This was a deeply nourishing and delightful NIA movement retreat on an exquisite Villa near Cortona, Tuscany. We danced our hearts out, exploring the mystical Tree of Life, on all but two of the seven days we were in residence, taking a break from dancing for well-guided day excursions to the city of Sienna and the nearby town of Cortona. Both movement teachers were highly experienced and worked beautifully together. We were fed sumptuous meals created by the Villa's charming chef Sergio, who also led us in a cooking class one of the afternoons. For people wanting to explore the delights of moving our bodies with gentleness, vigor, and always with pleasure, and soak in the beauty of Tuscany while we do it., I highly recommend this retreat.

Great program, great setting, great food, above and beyond hosts

Beautiful setting, wonderful accommodations, delicious food and wine. Gracious hosts. Loved the trips to Orvieto and Pienza. The wine pairing dinner, cooking class and spa were lovely additions. As a first time NIA dancer, I loved the movement and the instructors, both Janice and Krizty were fabulous. The mix of dance and other activities was just tight. The group was welcoming and supportive.
