I have teamed up with The Runaway Italian to offer a dream revival experience. Full of fun, play, a chance to exhale fully, and just be.

Here are the official details:

 

A ‘DREAM REVIVAL EXPERIENCE – THE ITALIAN WAY’

IN UNDISCOVERED SALENTO, PUGLIA, THE HEEL OF ITALY

 

Immerse yourself in inspiring scenery and local culture to restore your energy, vitality, creativity.

Revive and rediscover those long-held dreams with a ‘Dream Revival Experience – The Italian Way!

 

 

 

Beautiful Salento in Puglia will re-awaken your sense of self again. Let's explore both our internal dreams and our external longing for beauty, inspiration, and adventure.

You will benefit from the dedicated attention of an expert Italian Tour Manager and Guide, who will provide fantastic local knowledge and insider know-how. Nicla Marinelli aka the Runaway Italian is passionate about bringing you closer to authentic and undiscovered Italy and create memorable travel experiences you will never forget!

Noelle Rollins, our Master Dreamer and Creative Coach will guide us through a series of activities to help us awaken the dreamer inside of us again. Noelle brings a unique balance of thinking outside the box infused with inspiration and she's a spreadsheet nerd who loves to create a plan. She'll help you to get clarity on how you can put your dreams into action as well.

 

This Italian Experience is for:

• Women who are looking to tap back into themselves, and re-discover what makes them feel joyful, how to re-find balance again, and for pure inspiration to jump start it all.

• Women who have given all they have to raise kids, their careers, their spouses, their parents... and are waking up decades later wondering... "What about my dreams?"

• Women who can feel in their gut that there is more they are craving in their lives but aren't sure what they are looking for.

• Women who have experienced a divorce, a loss, a career change that has left you feeling like you are ready to realign with your dreams again and gain clarity on how you want your future to unfold.

• You want to experience Italy and its beauty with a sisterhood of women from all walks of life.
