L’ANIMA
[ lan-uh-muh ] soul; life
L’ANIMA was born from a shared longing for a slower, more intentional way of living.
What began as a meeting point between a yoga teacher with a deep love for embodiment and a celebrated chef drawn toward presence and simplicity has evolved into a series of immersive retreat experiences rooted in slow living, seasonal rhythms, and conscious connection.
These retreats are an invitation to step out of urgency and back into relationship—with yourself, with the land, and with the quiet intelligence of natural cycles.
L’ANIMA RETREATS WILL HELP YOU SHIFT YOUR PACE OF LIFE AND CONNECT TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT WITH NEWFOUND PRESENCE AND PURPOSE.
L’ANIMA retreats are designed to support a gentler pace of life. They center around living in attunement with nature’s rhythms, honoring both the external environment and the body’s internal seasons. Through shared meals, movement, rest, and time spent close to the land, participants are supported in reconnecting with what is essential.
Each retreat unfolds in a carefully chosen location, often in lesser-traveled regions where simplicity, beauty, and tradition remain intact. Practices may include yoga and meditation, seasonal and land-based nourishment, time for reflection, and communal experiences that foster presence rather than performance.
These are not retreats to “fix” yourself or achieve something new. They are spaces to remember—to listen, to slow down, and to experience what becomes available when life is lived with more intention and less noise.
L’ANIMA is a return to rootedness, to shared humanity, and to ways of living that nourish both body and soul.
