The Greatest Journey

... is the one that leads you home

After Adventure Travel – what’s next?   Awareness Travel !!! ... relational awareness, that is.

Remember the excitement of early courtship?   Remember the reasons you chose to share life with each other – to 

grow old together?  Remember when there was time for just the two of you and when there was, dare I say it,

romance?

Now, perhaps it’s ten years and two children later. You’ve climbed the professional ladder and your careers have taken precedence over your partnership. You’re juggling the frenetic schedules of school, sports, and social activities for your children and yourselves. The pressures of balancing career and family preclude the intimacy you once shared and so cherished. 

            If you keep doing the same thing, you’ll continue to get the same result !!!

Maybe that’s not you. Perhaps it’s 20years later and you are now empty nesters. Maybe you’ve retired and finding adjusting to the new stage of life difficult. Perhaps you need a tune-up.

Dr. John Gottman, emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Washington and pre-eminent research scholar in couples relationships suggests, “Couples wait an average of six years of being unhappy with their relationship before getting help”. He goes on to suggest that relationships could be more fulfilling “if couples started to address the issues before their relationships were in critical condition.”

It’s time to do something … different.

Borgo La Bagnaia - in the heart of the Tuscan culture 

La Bagnaia, its village, its ancient houses, in the heart of the Tuscany culture is close to Siena (8 miles), Florence, Maremma and the sea.  The agricultural nature of Bagnaia slowly emerged and the nearby Filetta, a famous thermal center chosen by the Emperor Arrigo VII, and Frontignano (a fortification center dominated by a castle) helped consolidate the rebirth of the village. Today the past is given back to the present while respecting the ancient origins. In this ancient medieval village the history, art and culture masterfully cohabit to cheer sight and spirit.

That’s different !!!
