About : Organized by writer, board-certified naturopathic doctor, and founder of Masha Tea, Maria Geyman, this writing retreat is for those who are seeking open time for creative projects. Last year we had a magazine editor working on her first novel, an acupuncturist ghost-writing a music memoir, but also several people who do not write professionally and just wanted open time to read, journal, and plan their creative endeavors to come. In a world that is so overscheduled, we provide a relatively unstructured space. We convene over shared healthy, organic, beautiful meals, and slow afternoons at the infinity pool. Our style is relaxed and fun. Places to write include underneath the shade of olive trees, in the wooden yoga shala, floating around in a hammock, and in the privacy of your guest room.

In addition to the private chef at Maraviglia, we will start each day with a Masha Tea of the day. We will also provide some writing prompts for you to use in a self-guided way. Maria is also organizing a retreat inspiration and reference library for guests to turn to on this stay

Where : An organic olive grove in Tuscany with an herb garden, infinity pool, and acres of rolling hills.

When: July 1-6, 2025

Food : A private chef will cook plant based meals using local, organic food from the vegetable garden on site and from neighboring farms. Of course, there will be olive oil from the farm’s hundreds-year old trees. The food is traditionally Italian, nourishing, and mostly vegetarian. In other words - so good. There will also be local wine, Masha Tea, fresh fruit, and great coffee.

Our Style : Relaxed, minimally structured, beautiful, fun

Take Care : We’ll have daily pilates with New York based instructor Kayla Principato, afternoons in the infinity pool, and creative prompts.

Stay : At Maraviglia, a Tuscan farmhouse in the town of Monte San Savino.
