Tantra Retreat Italy – Summer, sensuality & self-encounter
Friday, June 26, 2026 – Thursday, July 2, 2026
with an optional Tuscany vacation week afterwards (Thursday, July 2 – Thursday, July 9, 2026)
Tantra Retreat Italy – A tantric transformation journey for the curious and advanced
Between rolling hills, ancient chestnut forests and the golden light of the Italian summer, we invite you on a journey to yourself.
From June 26 to July 2, 2026, we will accompany you for a week through deep tantric processes, mindful encounters and moments of just feeling so very alive. In a loving circle, a space is created in which you can show yourself, let go and rediscover yourself – carried by the magic of Tuscany.
And after the Tantra Retreat Italy? Feel-good vacation in Tuscany
Those who would like to delve even deeper or simply stay longer have the option of taking an additional week’s vacation directly at the seminar center.
Every day there is a joint activity (meditation, yoga, excursion, etc.) – the rest of the time is free for enjoyment, sun and Italian dolce vita.
At YouMeUnity, we draw on various tantric traditions – in particular the Kashmiri and Tibetan tantra teachings. Our work combines elements of meditation, yoga, touch, movement and encounter.
The Tantra Retreat Italy adds another aspect: the magic and history of our special retreat center. Not only the Etruscan sacred sites on Mount Amiata, the impressive natural thermal springs in the surrounding area and the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea, but the whole of Tuscany has always been a meeting place for people from many countries to experience inspiration, healing and community. This atmosphere permeates our retreat – and makes it easy to let go, grow beyond yourself and connect with the universal dimension of Tantra.
Tantra Retreat Italy - what to expect
- Deep spiritual experiences: Tantric rituals, meditations, yoga, free dance and mindful touch exercises that help you fully dive into your emotions and strengthening your heart connection.
- Community & encounter: A mindful circle in which you can feel safe and welcome – with space for your boundaries and your desires.
- Nature & inspiration: swimming in the pool, walks through the Tuscan countryside, excursions to the waterside or even a trip to one of the country’s most beautiful cities – the diversity and vibrancy of Italy will accompany your inner journey.
- Integration & ease: In addition to intensive seminar days, there is time to relax, enjoy and savour moments of quiet contemplation.
The seminar center: Podere di Maggio in Santa Fiora
Our Tantra Retreat takes place in a seminar centre that is perfect for inner journeys: Podere di Maggio - an organic farm in Santa Fiora. Surrounded by the ancient chestnut forests of Tuscany, a panorama of gentle mountains, vast hills and vibrant nature opens up before you.
You can stay in charming houses or under the stars in a glamping tent, refresh yourself in the pool or visit the healing thermal springs in the surrounding area. Here, Italian dolce vita is combined with silence and mindfulness - the perfect setting for your Tantra Retreat in Italy.
During our retreat week, the celebrated Sicilian chef Rita will provide us with delicious vegetarian or vegan meals 3 times a day.
In the optional additional vacation week, we switch to breakfast and dinner so that we have enough time for excursions during the day.

We are looking forward to this transformative journey to Italy with you.

Why I can hardly wait to return to Italy for our Tantra Retreat
Joy S.
It wasn't really a coincidence for me to study Italian. Italy had already been calling me when I was a little girl and crossed the border with my family on a hike in Austria. It was there that I experienced the friendliness of Italian strangers for the first time - and felt right at home.
Rita and Peter, the owners of Agriturismo Podere di Maggio, welcomed us and showed us around the property with the same familiar friendliness and hospitality. The tranquillity there in the mountains - combined with the opportunity to quickly immerse ourselves in the familiar Italian organized chaos of the cities - is quite an enticing mixture.
Surrounding our chosen location for the "Tantra Retreat Italy" you will find an incredible number of enchanted, ancient places with extremely high energy that are perfect for rituals and meditations in nature. Like the "Stonehenge of Tuscany", to give just one example. I'm super excited about the energetic encounters we'll have at these magical places where history - not just that of the Etruscans - can really be felt and come alive.
I look forward to being there for you not only as a tantra, meditation and yoga teacher, but also to share my love for Italy with you. Come with us and let's experience the summer magic of Tuscany together on the retreat.

Joy S. is a musician, author and specialist in self-love. As an intuitive guide, she helps people find the courage to discover their innermost longings and face their shadows. During spiritual events, Joy turns into a body or musical medium, often playing with fairy-like healing tones and frequencies, while expressing her Kali side when she is standing on stage as the lead singer of rock bands – thus covering the entire tantric spectrum. Together with her husband Thomas, she provides a safe space for deep tantric experiences and supports participants in their self-healing process.
As YouMeUnity, we are offering to accompany you on your journey to yourself. We enjoy it so much to see people arrive at their innermost core. In doing so they are getting ready to embrace one or several relationships that can last and that are honest, deeper than ever before and 100 % heart-open. Such a secure bonding includes honest and appreciative communication, an open heart and a readiness in everyone involved to fully love themselves – and by doing so, learning to love everyone and everything on this beautiful planet, too. Self-confidence, courage, authenticity and embracing what is are also part of this – as well as accepting everything about yourself, even those character traits that you are not particularly proud of. And, of course everything that reminds you of your innate Buddha within yourself.
