Under the Tuscan Sky

Sometimes, we don’t need another answer. We need to leave the familiar behind, change the scenery, open a window — and allow life to surprise us.

Under the Tuscan Sky is an intimate women’s retreat inspired by the beloved film Under the Tuscan Sun — the story of a woman who arrives in Italy when the life she had planned suddenly changes, only to discover that sometimes, when the old story falls apart, something unexpected and beautiful can begin.

For one extraordinary week we will live together in a beautiful villa in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, ancient villages, wonderful food and the unmistakable magic of Italy.

Together we will explore the questions that live in the hearts of so many women: how do we recognise love when it arrives? Do soulmates really exist? How do we recognise the signs life sends us? What role do synchronicities, intuition and miracles play in our lives? And what becomes possible when we stop trying to control the story — and allow a new one to unfold?

We will watch Under the Tuscan Sun together and then step into its world, visiting the iconic locations connected to the film. Between our journeys we will return to the villa for intimate workshops and conversations led by Sigal Geshury, exploring love, relationships, soulmates, intuition, signs from the universe, miracles and the courage to fall in love with life again.

There will also be plenty of time simply to enjoy la dolce vita: day trips across Tuscany, beautiful towns and villages, time for shopping, coffee, wine and spontaneous discoveries, and a visit to a local artisan workshop where traditional Tuscan ceramics are still handmade. Two special evenings at the villa will feature Italian concept dinners prepared by a chef — beautiful food, wine, music and one long table shared by a small group of women.

And there will be time to breathe. To sit by the pool. To read. To talk. To laugh. To wander. To be alone when you want to be. And to remember that not every beautiful moment in life needs to be planned.

In the end, Under the Tuscan Sun isn’t really a story about Italy. It is a story about beginning again.

About discovering that love may arrive in a completely different form than the one we imagined. About people who enter our lives at exactly the right moment. About synchronicity, courage and the small miracles that appear when we dare to say yes to something without knowing exactly where it will lead.

This April, 12 women will travel with me to Tuscany. Perhaps one of them will be you.
