Each day of this tour is aimed at deepening your awareness of the main chakras by exploring the spiritual, cultural, historical and culinary resources found in the beautiful region of Tuscany. You will be guided through mediation, yoga, trekking, biking and roman spas while exposing the senses to color, light, food and wine in an area which has been known since Etruscan times for its spiritual aura.
We will use trekking to Etruscan alters, visits to the monastery of La Verna and Camaldoli, bathing in the thermal waters of Bagno San Fillipo, meditation with the monks in the spiritual retreats of Saint Francis, tours of the famous churches and artwork of Medieval and Renaissance Italy and of course the textures, colors and flavours of the Mediterranean diet to fulfil the exploration.
Begin the morning with a guided mediation and yoga session, followed by a daily exercise – designed with the intention to open the chakra through the physical experience of Tuscany. Every moment will concentrate on presenting you with activities which will expose you to centering on a new chakra while deepening your exposure to the delights of Italy. Combining your physical, intellectual and spiritual senses with the Tuscan atmosphere will give you a unique way to touch a new world - both inside and out.
