September 14-20, 2020
One’s destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things
– Henry Miller
September 14-20 2020 In the Province of Lucca, Italy
With Creative and Small Business Coach Wendy Batten!
Join us in a Tuscan hillside town for a week of creativity:
Sharing of business ideas, wine tasting, shopping and eating.
You will be cultivating community with other creative people, and taking part in the relaxed Italian way of life.
The retreat will be hosted in an Liberty Style Villa, located 30 minutes north of the walled city of Lucca, among farms, hillside towns, and ancient castles.
