THE SOFTENING | LAKE COMO, ITALY 🇮🇹
There are some experiences you plan.
And then there are the ones you feel called towards.
The Softening has been sitting quietly in my heart for a long time… and now, she has a home.
From 24–30 May 2027, eight women will gather in a beautiful 1913 Italian villa in Lake Como for six nights created around something we so rarely give ourselves enough of…
Time.
Time to wake without rushing.
Time to sit over breakfast and have nowhere else you need to be.
Time to move your body, meditate, laugh, talk and rest.
Time to wander through an Italian village simply because you can.
There will be beautiful food and long Italian lunches.
We’ll cook together.
Create together.
Move and meditate together.
We’ll experience Lake Como from the water, explore beautiful places, share meals around the table and leave plenty of room for the unexpected moments that often become the ones we remember most.
There will be Reiki, sound, connection and the beautiful practices that are woven through Mana Rise.
But there will also be life.
Laughter.
Wine if you want it.
Swimming in the pool beneath the mountains.
Coffee in town.
Getting dressed for dinner.
Conversations that run long.
Quiet afternoons when you might read, nap, wander or do absolutely nothing.
Because this isn’t a week about fixing yourself.
You don’t need fixing.
And you don’t need to travel all the way to Italy to become a different woman.
Perhaps you simply need a little space to hear yourself again.
To soften the grip.
To receive.
To remember what it feels like when your time belongs to you.
This is The Softening.

If something in you quietly whispered I’d love to be there as you read this, listen to her.
You don’t have to decide your whole life today.
Just perhaps stop telling her “one day.” 🤍
