The Retreat Cluub

A Weekend of Making, Sharing, and Unplugging

november 14 - 15

two days to slow down on the shores of Lake Iseo

In a world that constantly asks us to move faster, The Candle Cluub Retreat is an invitation to slow down and embrace a different rhythm.

The stillness of the water. The quiet rhythm of nature. Long mornings. Fresh air. Evenings lit by candlelight.

A weekend created around simple rituals: sharing a meal, moving gently, creating with our hands, spending time in nature and connecting with like-minded women.

A space to pause, recharge and return home feeling inspired.

FAQ

CAN I JOIN ALONE?

Absolutely.

Many guests join on their own. The retreat is created to welcome everyone and encourage genuine connections in a warm and intimate environment.

You don't need to come with someone else — just with the curiosity to meet new people and share a beautiful experience together.

How many guests will there be?

The retreat is intentionally intimate, with a limited number of participants to preserve a personal, welcoming and meaningful atmosphere. Max 14 people.

Is this retreat suitable for me if I am not used to retreats or wellness experiences?

Absolutely. No previous experience with yoga, meditation or any of the activities is required. Everything is designed to be accessible, relaxed and enjoyable.

Do I need to participate in every activity?

The retreat is designed to offer a balance between shared experiences and personal time.

While we will enjoy many moments together — from meals to activities and conversations — there will also be plenty of space to rest, explore or simply enjoy the surroundings at your own pace.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothes, walking shoes, something warm and cute for the evening, anything you need to feel at ease during the weekend and an open mind.

We also recommend bringing anything that helps you feel comfortable during yoga and your time outdoors.

Are meals included?

Yes. The retreat includes the shared meals and experiences mentioned in the program, including the cooking experience, candlelit dinner, brunch and closing picnic.

Please let us know about any dietary requirements immediately when booking.

How can I reach the location?

Baluardo is located approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from Milan.

Travel to and from the retreat is not included, but we will organise a car sharing system among participants to make the journey easier.

What happens if the retreat is cancelled or rescheduled?

We carefully plan every detail of the retreat, but sometimes circumstances beyond our control may require us to cancel, postpone or adapt the experience. If this happens, we’ll let you know as soon as possible and work with you to find the best possible solution, which may include moving your booking to a new date. Cash refunds are not available in these circumstances. Bookings are otherwise non-refundable and non-cancellable. If you can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible, you may request to transfer your place to someone else, subject to our approval. Programme activities may also be adapted due to weather, safety or other unforeseen circumstances, while we’ll always do our best to preserve the spirit of the experience.
