An offering, in three sentences.

The retreat is for those who would like to rest, properly, for six days in southern Tuscany — and who would not be unhappy about taking that rest in the company of thirteen other people who would like the same.

We will sit together. We will eat together. We will, in the late afternoon, walk slowly to the village together. The rest will be largely up to you.

I have been on twelve retreats. Long Light is the only one I have repeated. I have now done it four years in a row, and I am, today, on a plane home to plan my fifth.
