This retreat is for you if…
You’ll get up early for a mountain. You’ll stay up late for dinner.
You like a day that gives you an appetite. Hiking, swimming, yoga, then a schvitz and something delicious. You’re equally capable of spending an entire afternoon in a bathrobe.
You have good taste.
You notice the linens, the pottery, what’s been planted in the garden. You’ll happily take a detour for a meal someone told you about. An expensive hotel is lovely. A personal recommendation is gold.
You want to meet the makers.
The weaver, the cook, the artist. You want to know how they do it, and you’re happy to get your hands involved. You may come home with a new obsession and something fragile in your carry-on.
Your idea of taking care of yourself includes enjoying yourself.
Move your body. Book the massage. Eat a steak. Have a martini if you’d like one. We have no intention of sending you home with a list of things you’re no longer allowed to enjoy.
You’re independent. You’d also love someone else to make the arrangements.
We know who’s guiding, where we’re going and who’s cooking. You can settle in. Join us for the day or stay behind with a book; we’ll see you at dinner.
You take an interest in the world without taking yourself too seriously.
There’s room for a little magic, a good laugh, and a conversation that becomes unexpectedly personal. You can arrive with something on your mind. You can also come just because you’ve always wanted to see Peru, and you want to do it right.
We’ll introduce you to the Sacred Valley we know and love.
“
I walked through the garden that night after class and remember sitting down with new friends and having one of the best dinners of my life … Every guide, every chef, every driver, every class, was picked with so much care and intention that honored where we were, who we were with, and pushed each of us to step out of our comfort and also take a moment to slow down.
”
