We exist to guide people back to themselves
Through conscious food, deep rest and ancestral Apulian wisdom in an intimate circle, we turn insight into habit.
NURTURE — 7‑night conscious nutrition & regeneration retreat
5 – 12 September 2025 · Ostuni, Puglia, Italy
OUR PURPOSE
In everyday life we're conditioned to function; NURTURE invites you to truly MEET YOUR SELF.
Deadlines numb hunger; inner restlessness disempowers you, and the body's most basic human needs—nourishment and recovery—go unheard.
NURTURE is a living threshold.
Cross it and meet yourself: one week where food is ceremony, rest runs deep and community teaches.
In Puglia we reclaim two basic human needs eroded by modern pace:
Conscious Nutrition
Handmade pasta to create, quality food to fuel, cooking as ritual.
Conscious Regeneration
Breath‑led rest and yoga awaken lasting clarity.
Prepared in advance and practised together, these essentials travel home with you as second nature.
In the genuine quiet olive groves of Puglia—my homeland of sun, fertile soil, and crystal-clear sea—we restore the essentials that modern routine erodes.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
Fluid Daily Rhythm
Because we cultivate presence, the exact schedule is announced the day before.
We move inside three gentle anchors:
AWAKEN
Breath & Embodiment sessions with Liza
Yoga
Breathwork
Meditation
Guided rituals
These can unfold at sunrise, mid-afternoon, or under the stars.
FUEL
Nourishing meals with Marco
Guided shopping
Intuitive cooking
Ingredient wisdom
Shared tasting
All integrated in a playful coaching format.
CREATE
Art of Pasta workshops with Adrienne
Mastering dough
Shape techniques
Sauce pairings
Regional traditions
Four workshops folded into lunch or dinner experiences.
Every day also carries deliberate time & space for napping by the pool, silent walks in the grove, or simply doing nothing.
Signature Experiences
Local-market forage & tasting tour
Shop the week's ingredients together and learning to spot quality.
Olive-grove walk & oil tasting
Sample oils pressed from young trees to ancient olive secolari — the oldest guardians of the region.
Cheese farm visit & mozzarella live-pull
Meet the animals, tour the creamery, then taste every cheese and other farm products during an aperitivo.
8-course Chef's-Table dinner & vine pairing
Hosted in a centuries-old olive-oil masseria with its own orchard and garden (private tour included).
Adriatic seafood sunset feast
Share platters at a family-run restaurant that sits on the water — waves under your feet, crimson sky above.
Coastal-park bike ride
Glide through the national park's dunes and pine forests, ending at the sea.
Beach-day picnic
A separate slow afternoon: swim, nap, graze on Apulian antipasti.
Night walk in whitewashed Ostuni
Lantern-lit alleys, gelato stops, endless viewpoints.

WHO THIS IS WITH
Liza Nandini
Co-Facilitator
Yoga is not just something I do – it's who I am. Its depth, vastness and healing potential have been my lifelong source of inspiration, guidance, healing and joy.
With nearly 35 years of experience in breathwork, meditation, mindful movement and somatic healing, I hold space for others to gently return to their truth, health and connection with their innate wisdom.
At NURTURE, I'll guide through breath, rituals, gentle yoga and meditation practices, that regulate the nervous system, support digestion & regeneration and gently bring the body, mind and soul back into harmony.
Marco Giglio
Lead Facilitator
I believe that running on autopilot isn't living; when we meet our basic needs with mindful presence, authentic performance follows.
I've guided over 450 people to meet themselves — tuning food, rest, and movement until grounded balance feels like their natural state.
At NURTURE I blend evidence‑based insights with immersive dives into Puglia's food culture and hands‑on cooking‑and‑nutrition labs, so balanced rest and nourishment become habits you'll carry home with ease.
Adrienne Famlonga
Co-Facilitator
I believe that nourishment is about more than just food — it's about slowing down, connecting, and sharing joy around the table.
Trained by a pasta maestra in Bologna, I've dedicated myself to the craft of traditional hand-rolled pasta as a way to honour culture and create community.
In NURTURE's pasta labs, I'll guide you as you knead, roll and shape traditional pastas with intention, so you can recreate Puglian joy at your own table.
YOUR TRANSFORMATION
You leave Puglia not with memories alone, but with maps, habits and inner permission to keep thriving.
