A Psychologist-Led Women’s-Only Retreat in Italy
Seven days to step away, recognize the underlying patterns shaping your life and create space for a different way forward through guided reflection, yoga and meaningful connection.
VILLA VIRGINIA – STRESA, LAKE MAGGIORE, ITALY • 4–11 SEPTEMBER 2027
THE MISSION
LAGO is a psychologist-led retreat in Italy for women who want more than a break. It is a week to step away from the pace of everyday life and understand what is really shaping the choices you keep repeating.
Through guided reflection, movement and meaningful connection, LAGO creates space to pause, gain perspective and see familiar relationships, habits and emotional patterns from a different angle.
With a maximum of ten participants, LAGO offers an intimate setting for connection, reflection and personal exploration.
Because meaningful change rarely begins with trying harder. It begins with understanding.
YOUR HOST
I’m a psychologist and the founder of LAGO.
Through my work, I’ve seen how many people keep finding themselves in the same relationships, the same habits or the same emotional cycles—not because they aren’t trying to change, but because they haven’t yet discovered what’s shaping those patterns.
I created LAGO to help women recognise what lies underneath, because once you understand what’s shaping your choices, change stops feeling like a matter of willpower and starts becoming possible.
