Terra italiana

Offered by a mother and daughter
Held by the land, gathered at table, in the company of women

A week of slow food, morning movement, community, and the particular magic of the Italian countryside.
Come back to the earth. Come back to yourself.

Terra

Italian & Latin · noun · earth, land, soil

What this is

Most of us are living disconnected. Terra is an invitation to land.

Six nights at a historic estate on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, on the ancient border of Umbria and Tuscany. A small group of women led by mother & daughter, LaRaye & Taylor.

Days built around the simplest, most nourishing things: food prepared with care, morning movement, afternoons exploring nearby villages, olive oil and wine tastings, pasta making, laughter around the table, rest & relaxtion. A trip that ask nothing of you except to be present and sink in.

This is a week given entirely over to the kind of living that most of us only dream of. Intentional, deeply nourishing, slow, beautiful days in the Italian countryside.

Terra is designed for women who know, on some level, that the land has something to teach them. Who want to eat food that was grown & made with care, spend time with people who are genuinely trying to live well, and return home not just rested but restored in the best possible way.

La Dogana, Lake Trasimeno, Umbria

La Dogana is a 19th-century historic estate on the shores of Lake Trasimeno — the ancient border between Umbria and Tuscany.
It is the fourth generation of the same family. Lucia, who runs it today, manages 4,000 olive trees with a team of women, produces the estate's organic oil by hand each year, and has built something that feels less like a hotel and more like being taken in.

Florence is where we will begin our adventure. Cortona & Moltepucino are nearby villages we will visit.
