“Two years ago, I attended a women’s writing retreat in a remote villa in Merke, Italy, and it was a truly transformative experience. Thoughtfully curated by Ivanna, who brought together an inspiring group of participants and mentors, the retreat offered insightful workshops with the brilliant Ukrainian writer Irena Karpa and unforgettable culinary experiences crafted by the talented chef Masha Ledina. Beyond the writing and cuisine, the most lasting impact came from the incredible community of Ukrainian women I met there. We formed deep connections that still thrive today, turning a weeklong retreat into lifelong friendships. If you’re looking for inspiration, creativity, and a network of remarkable women, this retreat is an experience that stays with you.”

I had an incredible experience in Italy, thanks to Ivanna. It was my first trip, a long-awaited dream. The Puglia region, a writers’ retreat, a villa with an olive grove and trulli — everything felt magical. We spent our days with talented women, enjoying writing practice with Irena Karpa, trips to wineries, cheese factories, and cozy restaurants.
Ivanna thought of every detail: thoughtful gifts, a relaxed schedule, and shared meals prepared by chef Maria Ledina that filled the air with love. It was a perfect blend of rest, support, and the power of women.
Thank you, Ivanna, for giving me such a beautiful introduction to Italy and for the lasting friendships. I’ll always treasure the memories and would love to do it again!

“My retreat weekend in the Netherlands was an unforgettable experience. One of the absolute highlights was the Keukenhof Flower Exhibition—the breathtaking colors and incredible variety of flowers made it a truly immersive way to appreciate the beauty of nature. Another standout moment was the flower and photo workshop, where I learned to capture moments by blending colors and textures. This experience deepened my perspective, making me more mindful and present. Overall, it was a weekend filled with beauty, creativity, and wonderful company. A truly inspiring and memorable experience!”

My retreat experience was nothing short of magical—carefully planned, inspiring, and full of light. Ivanna thought of everything, from the company to the weather, ensuring the perfect atmosphere. The food was a highlight—delicious, beautifully presented, and made with the finest ingredients. It wasn’t just about eating, it was about savoring every detail. I’m still in touch with the amazing women from the retreat, and I continue to write my little texts. Truly, it was Dolce Vita with a Ukrainian soul.

Michael, Germany

“Who would have thought I’d be creating my own bouquet of flowers, learn how to take beautiful photos of it, and then become the subject of an artistic photographic portrait myself that recreated a classical piece, all of it in one day? I might have had some little doubts, but they dissipated within seconds after meeting our wonderful hosts and guides. That was by far not all, though: discovering the beauty of nature and gorgeous places in a wonderful group of participants and experienced professionals was unforgettable. So much joy, so much fun, so rewarding! I’d repeat it without thinking twice.”
