Italy, October 2023
The number 13 has become not just symbolic, but truly magical for me.
For the second time, an amazing group of women came together to create, write, share stories, cook delicious meals, and immerse ourselves in the beauty of southern Italy—its landscapes, culture, traditions, and language. It was a chance to step away from everyday routines, find comfort in a welcoming space, and form meaningful connections with new friends.
There’s something incredibly special about being surrounded by your people, where you can truly be yourself—no roles to play, just pure authenticity.
My dream of building a community has come to life—bringing together like-minded souls for travel, creativity, and mutual inspiration.
13 incredible women—successful, creative, talented, and kind. A constant flow of warmth and support.
Each evening, we followed a tradition: sharing what we valued most from the day and what we hoped to carry with us. These moments were personal, profound, and often moving.
Some left with a sense of happiness and authenticity, others with newfound ease and self-acceptance. For some, it was life-changing; for others, therapeutic, nourishing, and deeply meaningful. Some discovered hidden talents, while others simply felt at home, surrounded by their people. But all of us departed with inspiration, fresh ideas, and hearts full of connection.
On the final day, as I listened to the reflections, I knew—every effort to create this space had been worth it. The impact we have on one another is far more profound than we can ever imagine.
Grateful to the universe for bringing together beautiful women and unforgettable experiences.
