The Ancestral Canvas

Every guest submits a photo of someone they want to honor — someone whose memory fuels their journey.

Calabrian artist Franco Grillo, from Daniela’s family of artisans, will transform that photo into a hand-painted canvas included in your experience. It’s not just a keepsake. It’s a reminder that your leadership is part of a longer story.

Craftsmanship, Connection & Cultural Immersion

From a village tour of Daniela’s ancestral hometown of Messignadi to a cooking class in a local kitchen, every moment is infused with meaning. This retreat isn’t about tourism — it’s about connection. We learn from makers, storytellers, chefs, and healers. We meet the people behind the process and become part of the story.

What you'll experience

This isn’t a sightseeing trip. It’s a soulful immersion into tradition, legacy, and community.

  • Village tour of Daniela’s family hometown, Messignadi
  • Tarantella dance lesson
  • Boat tour along the Calabrian coast
  • Mountainside lunch with panoramic views
  • Cheese & wine tasting with local makers
