Receive Retreat in Italy
With Shauna Stewart, Pleasure Atelier
October 11 - 17, 2026
RECEIVE is a small, intimate retreat designed for women who want to feel more at home in their bodies, their desire, and their capacity for pleasure. It is a space to slow down, soften the nervous system, and reconnect with sexual pleasure as a source of nourishment, truth, and regulation.
Receive is guided, held, and spacious. There is structure, but no forcing. Invitation, not expectation. Pleasure here is relational, embodied, and self-directed. You are always in choice.
This retreat is best suited for women who value depth, privacy, and a slower pace.
Imagine stepping off the plane and knowing that for seven days, nothing is required of you except presence.
You’re body can finally unclench.
As someone who’s capable, trusted, and carrying more than most people see, you may not have been taught how to fully receive.
That changes the moment you arrive.
Between fresh cappuccinos wrapped in bathrobes and long, leisurely meals that unfold without urgency, we begin retraining the body.
You will learn how to cultivate safety that allows arousal to emerge.
You will understand why high-functioning women often override pleasure cues.
You will practice noticing what your body truly wants.
You will experience what it’s like to ask and receive with grounded authority.
This is expansion.
In Tuscany, you will not disappear from your life, you’ll increase your capacity for it through rest and pleasure.
