The last day of the actors retreat was blissful. Morning yoga under the millennial olive trees, coffee at Villa Strada. Lunch at Podere , shopping in Pienza. A visit to the hot springs then dinner at home with the whole retreat family.

A holistic experience amongst expert tutoring by @reidforit to be “On Camera and Audition Ready.”

We are having a ball and are being fed like queens by the beautiful @fullspectrumhealthwithella and @nomans_in_italia Inda and Steve.
We are serving gluten free delights and everything is made from scratch. Many photos to come and a cookbook is in heavy demand. For now, please enjoy the beauty that is our wonderful Inda!

@anoushkashankarofficial providing the perfect soundtrack for @sophiemcnic massage treatments. In 35 degree heat we are so grateful for the beautiful stone walls of the house keeping us cool. Birds, breeze and grasshoppers add to the atmosphere as our guests enjoy their treatments.
