CLAY, YOGA & FLOWERS RETREAT

16-19 July, Bolzano, Italy

Group of people practicing yoga outdoors in a lush garden with tall trees and mountains in the background.

YOGA & FLOWERS

Daily yoga sessions invite you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your body. Guided with care, the practice is accessible to all levels and designed to support rest, grounding, and presence. Each session creates space to breathe deeply, move gently, and arrive fully.

​Flowers are woven through the retreat as a gentle ritual of beauty and care. We’ll take a gentle walk to a flower garden in the village, where we’ll spend time surrounded by seasonal blooms. In this inspiring setting, you’ll take part in a hands-on flower activity: gathering, arranging, and working with flowers directly where they grow.

CLAY EXPERIENCE

Clay session will be guided by Gizem from Gigi Room Ceramics, inviting you into a slow, tactile exploration of working with clay. You’ll learn foundational hand-building techniques while leaving plenty of space for intuition, play, and personal expression.

No prior experience is needed, this is not about perfection, but about the joy of making with your hands. Expect a calming, grounding rhythm, supportive guidance throughout, and time to create pieces that feel meaningful to you, whether simple, sculptural, or beautifully imperfect.

STAY

We’ll gather at a charming boutique hotel nestled among vineyards and mountains, with a garden, a pool, and sweeping views of the Dolomites.

Amadeus Ora Amore is a character-filled house, thoughtfully restored and full of soul. Mornings begin with Italian breakfast and birdsong; afternoons drift by with sunshine, soft conversations, and space to simply be.

With a small number of cozy rooms—some shared, some private—this retreat offers an intimate, grounding home for rest, reconnection, and creative flow.
