Connect & Nourish

Connect & Nourish is an invitation to step away from the rhythm of everyday life and into a week where there is space to truly arrive.

Set at the beautiful Oliveto Estate in Italy’s Le Marche countryside, this intimate retreat with Veronique Ory and Erin Lanahan Kolenda is centered around nourishment in every sense of the word—through movement, rest, food, beauty, meaningful conversation, and the simple pleasure of being fully present.

Our days will move with intention rather than urgency. Morning and evening practices weave together Vinyasa, intuitive movement, meditation, Yin, guided reflection, and stillness, with offerings designed to meet you exactly where you are. Between practices, there is spaciousness to rest by the pool, wander among the olive groves, enjoy the spa, linger over a beautiful meal, or simply do nothing at all.

We’ll experience the surrounding region through thoughtfully curated adventures, including truffle hunting, bike rides, and visits to medieval villages, while returning each day to the warmth of our small retreat community.

Meals celebrate the Italian tradition of slow food with fresh, seasonal cuisine and plenty of time around the table—because we believe some of the most meaningful moments of retreat happen in the spaces between what was planned.

You don’t need to arrive as an experienced yogi, and you certainly don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. Come as you are.

Connect & Nourish is a week to move your body, exhale deeply, laugh, explore, eat beautifully, connect with others, and listen inward.

Our hope is that you return home not simply rested, but more connected—to yourself, to what nourishes you, and to the way you want to inhabit this beautiful life.
