Inner Renaissance
A retreat to reclaim your creativity
June 28 - July 3, 2026 | Tenuta di Monterufoli
Hosted by
At some point we all had to grow up. . .
We had to bury the writer, the artist, the maker and buy homes, pay for school, and save for retirement. But somehow, that creative fire won’t die. It stalks you when you hear the song, read the book, see the painting,
and feel the spark say, “I’m still here.”
This retreat is to fuel that fire.
to create in community.
CREATE IN COMMUNITY
This is time set aside for making.
The book. The painting. The song. The idea that needs space to emerge. Not because there’s a deadline — because there’s no greater feeling than when the world goes quiet and only the making remains.
You’ll have long, uninterrupted mornings for silence and focus.
And evenings to share meals, conversation, and perspective with an intimate group of serious creators.
You’ll have long, uninterrupted mornings for silence and focus.
Small group facilitated conversations that are grounded and real. You'll find accountability and perspective that only comes from people who've lived it.
it’s fucking beautiful here.
Good food. Thoughtful pacing, and a stunning estate in the mountains of western Tuscany.
