The Listening Body: Movement Retreat
Amalfi Coast Edition
Tucked between mountains and sea, the Amalfi Coast holds a rhythm all its own - stone pathways winding through lemon groves, cliffs plunging into salt-blue waters, air thick with the scent of citrus and sea. Here, time stretches. The body begins to listen differently.
Let the body soften into the rhythm of the sea. Let the cliffs hold your weight and the wind reshape your breath. This retreat is a return to sensation, a quiet choreography of presence.
THIS IS WHERE WE GATHER
To listen
To move
To remember
Casa L’Orto is our refuge between sea and mountains
Resting along the cliffs of Praiano, Casa L’Orto is more than a place to stay - it is a breath between sky and sea, a home held by stone, sun and silence.
Haven
Offerings
Over seven days, nestled between arrival and departure, we invite you into a sensorial and soulful voyage. Rooted in the rhythm of nature and the quiet wisdom of your own body, each moment is curated with care, spaciousness and intention.
Inclusive stay in the serene embrace of Villa Casa L’Orto - a home held by the earth, kissed by the wind and open to the sun and stars.
Five days of immersive experience including, daily morning and evening body stretching, pilates, daily dance classes, choreographic research and site specific explorations led by Anthony Nakhlé and Nawal Youssifova. Participants are also invited into moments of stillness and time for rest, with space to engage in simple grounding practices such as planting, drawing, collecting natural materials and swimming in the sea. Each day offers a rhythm of movement, reflection and connection - to body, place and the present moment.
Curated meals prepared by our private chef, where each day’s food is thoughtfully crafted around one of the elemental forces, offering a sensory dialogue between flavor, texture and the spirit of the land.
A live sound journey led by Lorenzo (ATŌMI), who will score our time together with field recordings and improvised compositions. Throughout the retreat, participants will each have a one-on-one session with Lorenzo - an intimate exchange where movement, memory and sound converge. These sessions invite you to tune into your own frequencies and contribute to an evolving soundscape that echoes the energy of our shared time on the coast.
A dedicated local guide will lead us each day to landscapes carefully chosen based on each elemental force. Along the way, we will learn about the history and hidden stories of each place.
Scented keepsakes - handmade and infused with local essence, to carry the memory of this place home with you.
