Retreats

From yoga to mindfulness to expression

Our retreats range from quiet weekends to intensive weeks.
They create space for movement, silence, and personal development.

Throughout the year, experienced teachers lead retreats and workshops at Casa Santo Stefano.
Sometimes gentle and calm, sometimes powerful and focused. Always embedded in the rhythm of the house and nature.
During your retreat, Casa Santo Stefano will become your temporary home. A place for retreat, encounter, and new clarity. Time that does you good and has a lasting effect.
