Come Home to Yourself
On our Tuscany retreat, you will find a sense of strength and a sense of self in a supportive community. This retreat is about healing, self-love, and choosing yourself over and over again.
This retreat is for you if:
You feel that quiet whisper inside saying, “there has to be more than the day-to-day grind.”
You’re ready to surround yourself with women who will see you, celebrate you, and walk beside you.
You’ve dreamed of living your Italian bucket list—from cooking classes to toasting with local wine under the Tuscan stars.
You’re ready to trade surface-level small talk for deep conversations, laughter that fills your belly, and connections that feel like home.
You’re tired of waiting for the “right time” and you know your soul is whispering… the time is now.
You want to come home lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself than ever before.
You’re craving time to slow down, truly be present, and remember who you are and what lights you up.

FOUNDER OF SOUL/O
Why Tuscany Holds a Special Place in My Heart
When I returned to Italy to plan this retreat, I was overwhelmed by how much this place had shaped my journey. Tuscany was where I thought I’d begin an exciting new chapter with someone else, but life had other plans. Instead, it became the place where I began to heal, rediscover myself, and embrace a new kind of happiness—a happiness rooted in saying "yes" to myself.
That decision sparked the creation of SOUL/O Travel—a space to empower women to embrace their journeys, no matter where they lead.
Planning this retreat in Tuscany has been a powerful homecoming—a return to myself in the most unexpected and beautiful way. What began as an emotional journey through a place marked by past dreams has unfolded into something deeply healing and profoundly empowering. Tuscany reminded me that the life we envision doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined—and that’s not a loss, but a redirection into something more aligned for us.
This retreat is an invitation to experience that kind of shift for yourself. To slow down. To breathe. To reconnect with who you are beneath the noise. Surrounded by the rolling hills, timeless charm, and nourishing energy of Tuscany—and in the company of women walking their own courageous paths—this is a chance to write a new chapter rooted in truth, beauty, and belonging.
Tuscany holds a special place in my heart, and it’s a joy to share its magic with you. This is more than a retreat—it’s an invitation to honor your journey, just as I’ve learned to honor mine. A space to come home to yourself, in the most beautiful and soul-nourishing way.
Let’s walk this path together.

Meet Atsede
Atsede Scarseth (pronounced At-said-uh) is a trauma therapist, yoga teacher, and integration guide who specializes in helping women reconnect with themselves in meaningful, lasting ways. Her work weaves together evidence-based therapy and spiritually-rooted, creative modalities—including Internal Family Systems, somatic healing, Brainspotting, intuitive reflection, and trauma-informed yoga—to support healing on every level: mind, body, emotions, soul, and environment.
Diagnosed later in life as neurodivergent (AuDHD, 2e), Atsede brings deep compassion and lived experience to her practice. Her approach is gentle, human, and deeply attuned to the full complexity of who you are.
In Tuscany, Atsede brings a calming, grounded presence and an invitation to slow down, soften, and turn inward. She guides gentle yoga and mindfulness practices, leads reflective circles, and offers immersive workshops that support deep inner exploration. With care and intention, she shares tools you can take home—so the transformation doesn’t end with the retreat, but continues to unfold in your everyday life. Through it all, Atsede holds space for truth, tenderness, and self-trust to rise to the surface—reminding you of what’s always been within you.

We recommend getting there no later than 2 p.m. in order to give you enough time to get settled prior to any welcome activities. It is a 1 ½ hour drive from Florence to where we will be in Tuscany. If you choose to fly into Rome, it will be a 2 ½ hour drive.
Please note that transportation from airports other than Florence (FLR) will incur an additional cost, as the transfer from Florence to Tuscany is the only one included in the retreat package. However, we’re happy to assist with coordinating alternative arrangements to ensure your journey is as seamless as possible.

At our Tuscany Retreat, you’ll be staying in one of six beautiful villas within the stunning Borgo Gaggioleto estate. Each villa is just a short walk from the pool and common hangout areas, so you’re always close to the action yet still have your own private villa to retreat and hangout at.
Every woman will have her own room, complete with a double-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, ensuring your comfort and privacy. For those traveling with a friend or family member and wishing to share a room, we have two rooms that can be configured with two twin beds.
Each villa features shared living, dining, and kitchen spaces designed to foster connection and create opportunities to bond with the amazing women on this journey. However, your private room is always there when you need some downtime to rest and recharge.
This balance of communal and private spaces makes the retreat experience truly special—offering connection and reflection as you immerse yourself in the beauty of Tuscany.

This retreat is moderately active and designed to suit a variety of fitness levels. Tuscany’s charm lies in its cobblestone streets, rolling hills, and rustic paths, so you’ll encounter some uneven terrain during town explorations. While we’ll visit other towns, these excursions are leisurely and self-paced. Yoga sessions are part of the retreat but are tailored to be gentle and restorative.
If that sounds good to you, you’ll do great! If you have any specific questions or concerns, we’re more than happy to discuss them to ensure this retreat feels perfect for you.

Absolutely! This is your journey, and we want it to be perfect for you. If there's any activity you’d rather not participate in, just let us know. We’re more than happy to accommodate or suggest an alternative that suits your preferences.

Yes! October is actually one of the most beautiful times to experience Tuscany, and that’s why our retreat is set during the second week of the month. The weather is mild and comfortable, with golden autumn light that makes the vineyards and rolling hills absolutely stunning. It’s also harvest season, which means fresh truffles, chestnuts, olive oil, and local wine festivals fill the region with energy and flavor.
There is always the chance of a light shower this time of year, but it only adds to the cozy atmosphere—and it gives us the perfect excuse to slow down, sip wine, and enjoy the warmth of good company. Overall, October offers the best of both worlds: the beauty of Tuscany without the heavy summer crowds.
