HT&GIM Residency on Lake Iseo, Northern Italy - July 13th to 17th 2023
Monte Isola (literally Island Mountain) is a breathtaking island on Lake Iseo, in Northern Italy, between Lake Como and Lake Garda, only 40 minutes away from one of Milan's Airports. It has been the enchanting place where students of the HT&GIM Online Courses (all levels, all editions) met with me for a long weekend of full immersion into Deep relaxation and Creative visualization.
From Thu July 13th to Mon July 17th, we drifted away and stayed in the warming embrace of nature and history, surrounded by the waters of the Lake and the sound of our harps.
​
The HT&GIM Residency was titled "The Sound of Dreams" and it's been the perfect chance both to experience and practice the power of Imagination and Deep relaxation and have a taste of a peaceful holiday in Italy. Current and former HT students and practitioners took part to this six day experience, we had a wonderful group of 15 people from three different continents and 10 nationalities.
​
We had around 4 hours of lessons and 1 hour of individual/group/pair practice each day, plus some time to enjoy the island and the surrounding territory. We were in the heart of Franciacorta, one of the most renowned Italian wine counties, where History, Nature and Gastronomy meet. So much to enjoy!
The lessons took place in Peschiera Maraglio - the main island village and from our windows we could see the lake and here its waves crashing just a few meters away.
