Lenora Boyle, Transformation Coach and Option Method Trainer is hosting an Italian Retreat for Women.
I thought you would all be a great audience for her, since most of you who read the blog are women, who love to travel and are passionate about Italy.
When I read about it, I thought it was such a great idea! i just wish I hadn't made plans for Rome already or this would have been a serious contender. It sounds right up my alley!! Great food, stunning views, spending quiet time with like minded, creative women. A dream vacation, really!
I asked Lenora to write a brief description about the retreat, so that I could present it to all of you. Being that it is her passion, I figured she'd do a much better job than I ever could. I encourage you to click on all the links that she has provided to get a much better feel for Lenora, and what she does.
Here is what Lenora had to say:
This is an invitation to live the sweet life, la dolce vita. Please join me in ITALY, where possibilities abound, for a transformational retreat for women, surrounded by all the flavors of Italy.
Learn to be happy like Italians who find pleasure in everything around them: music, food, fragrances, scenery, and art. The air, water, food and people are exceptional. It is a country full of stunning beauty and pleasures to be savored.
For 8 days and 8 nights, from September 12- 20 of 2009, in Monterosso al Mare on the Italian Riviera in Liguria, I’m combining my passion for Italy with my passion for helping women expand their possibilities to create a life they love.
During this Italian Retreat discover How To:
What to Expect on this Retreat:
After a delicious breakfast of local fruit, cheeses and homemade breads, we’ll meet to begin learning the Option Method Dialogue – questions that you will take with you to continue experiencing the happiness gained during this retreat. You will broaden your belief of what is possible and begin to expand and live La Dolce Vita, the sweet life.
We’ll continue with techniques and exercises after lunch that will help enhance clarity, creativity and happiness. Some afternoons will be filled with visits to the beautiful Cinque Terra (five towns), as well as to other picturesque seaside villages that cling to cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean. Our time outside in the lush splendor of Italy will inspire us to find our inner beauty.
Italy’s gift to the world is to teach us to enjoy beauty and pleasure in every aspect of life—food, family, fashion, art, language, nature and love.
As women, we are notorious for giving and supporting others, whether we have careers in or out of the home. Now, let’s do something for ourselves. Give ourselves the gift of happiness—a chance to travel to Italy with a group of like-minded women for the purpose of finding and living pleasure, joy and love every moment of our lives.
Cost: $1300 USD/ 1108 Euro for hotel (double occupancy), workshop and breakfast. (Transportation, lunch and dinner not included)
If you are interested, please email Lenora@ChangeLimitingBeliefs.com, call (641) 472-0414 or visit my Italy Retreat Blog or Change Limiting Beliefs.
I’d love to have you join us soon because the reservation deadline is April 4th!

Hi Robin…If I could afford it, I would sign up for this like a shot…Something I really need to help in certain areas of my life….It is in my favourite part of the world, and just around the coastline from where my husband and I spent 10 days last year for our hols!!

I’m with you Anne. If I could afford it

Robin, so glad you were able to connect with my mother and preview her retreat here. Coming from her daughter (who is equally as passionate about Italy) she has been wanting to do something like this for years. I finally told her, let go of those inhibitions about money and planning and just do it. I’m so proud of her for getting it together and offering her services of letting women break free of limiting beliefs. I hope other women find her passion equal to their’s and are able to join in. Grazie!

Robin, thanks for the post about my Italy Retreat. The part about breaking free to more possibilities is that whenever we have a desire, and then, immediately think or say, “BUT…I can’t afford it, I’m too old etc., we can pretty much figure there’s a limiting belief operating. Of course, I know the money thing could very well be a fact. But I encourage everyone (myself included) to stop for a few moments everyday to focusing on what we want, and make a practice of writing a Blue Sky List — “Just a list of desires if you could have anything out of the clear blue sky, what would you welcome in your life?” You don’t have to think “HOW” you could manifest it. That’s one way, we can all get in the habit of creating more of what we want, seeing more options or possibilities, than just tossing them aside without stepping outside our comfort zone. So, my daughter, Grace, is wise and one of my teachers! Thanks again.

Grace, I see your Mom has had such a positive influence on you. As my Mother would remind me….*The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree*
March 23rd, 2009
I firmly believe in what you say, Lenora! It’s all about putting what you want out there in the universe and surrounding it with the positive energy needed to manifest it into what you want. I am living proof. Can you tell I may have had a run in or two or ten with a life coach?! And you are very welcome indeed :)

What a charming blog! I share your passion for Italy–and also for Italian. After twentysome years of studying it, I’ve written a book “La Bella Lingua: My Love Affair with Italian, the World’s Most Enchanting Language” (coming out in May) and created a website and blog. Please come visit. Maybe we can find some ways to work together to make the world a little more Italian.
Grazie,
Dianne Hales

Interesting, but there is no way I could take the time off work (have to save all my vacation days for when school is out AND for my sister’s wedding next year).

Thanks Diane!! I would love to work together- and as you say- make the wolrd a little more Italian
A presto
