working with local artists in Tuscany

Here's why our October retreat in Tuscany is truly a special experience: tap into your creativity with a series of artisan workshops.

Awae Retreat in Maremma, Italy this October 6 to 12, 2025

There’s something sacred about making something by hand. To create. To craft. To tap into your inner child.

A series of optional artisan workshops, all led by skilled makers right on the property. You can opt into as many as you like. Each one is designed to be soulful, sensory, and deeply grounding.

Here’s what you might take home:

• A hand-stitched book for your intentions and reflections
  
• A ceramic vessel you shaped yourself
  
• A silk scarf printed with Tuscan leaves and flowers
  
• A bowl thrown on the pottery wheel
  
• An indigo-dyed linen shirt (men’s and women’s available)
  
• A pendant or pair of earrings you enameled by hand

When was the last time you learned something new? Sunk your hands into a piece of clay? When we allow ourselves to be creative and exploratory, we activate a new part of our brain and calm our nervous system by drawing our attention to the act of creation.
