GATHER
Six days to explore, rest & experience Italy
Among the olive trees, with views of the Adriatic Sea, there's a place for you at the table.
Our Home in Puglia
We've reserved an entire luxury villa for our time together in Puglia. Think beautiful stone architecture, views of the Adriatic Sea, a heated pool, and comfortable private and shared accommodations. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning, relaxing by the pool, or spending the evening with the group, there's space to make yourself at home.
Food & Culinary Experiences
Fresh, nourishing meals, a private chef joining us at the villa each meal, handmade pasta, and local wine and olive oil tastings. Food is a meaningful part of Gather, bringing us together around the table to experience the flavors and traditions of Puglia. With meals included, you can settle in, enjoy good company, and take your time.
Exploring Southern Italy
With the Adriatic Sea and a protected nature reserve just minutes away, we'll have plenty of opportunities to spend time outdoors and enjoy Puglia's beautiful coastline. Our stay also includes excursions to two historic coastal towns, where you can wander through old streets, explore local shops and museums, stop into restaurants, and experience the character of each destination.
Room to Rest
We believe taking care of yourself can be part of enjoying life, not something separate from it. Throughout GATHER, we'll offer gentle movement, Yin and restorative yoga, somatic movement, breathwork, and opportunities for deep rest alongside our culinary and cultural experiences. Join the practices that feel good to you, enjoy the quiet moments, and make the experience your own.
I created gather because I believe taking care of yourself and enjoying your life should go hand in hand. We spend so much of our time working, planning, taking care of others, and moving on to whatever comes next. Even the things we look forward to can become something we need to accomplish. Another full schedule. Another list of things to fit in.
I want Gather to feel different.
I want you to experience the excitement of traveling somewhere new, enjoy incredible food, meet wonderful people, and feel comfortable slowing down along the way.
Everything is thoughtfully planned, with enough space left open for you to decide what you need. Maybe that's joining a movement practice, exploring somewhere new, spending an afternoon by the pool, or enjoying a little time to yourself.
Through Cultivating Thyme Wellness, my passion has always been helping people feel more connected to their bodies and comfortable listening to what they need. gather is an extension of that work, with the added joy of travel, culture, and shared experiences.
You don't have to earn your rest here. You don't have to make the most of every moment.
You can simply enjoy being where you are.
