Movement, play
& dolce vita

A week of please and pasta, movement and meditation in Italy.
Join me in June 2025 for a movement retreat and an Italian cooking class.

Sunday, 8th June, to Friday, 13th June 2024 (EN/DE)

Italy, Emilia-Romagna, close to Bologna

Katharina Dodel

We’ll come together in a wonderful place in the midst of nature of Emilia-Romagna (close to Bologna). I’ve chosen this place because it has stunning views, super good food, friendly atmosphere and owners and you can get there by train (Berlin - Munich - Bologna).

    • Morning Softness Practices (including breathing, meditating, lubricating the joints)

    • vegetarian Brunch

    • Free time for hiking, swimming, resting, reading, nothingness

    • Italian cooking class with Stefania (her husband Marco is supporting us with knowledge about wine)

    • alternately Movement Play or Handstand or Slow Yoga Flow

    • Dinner under the stars

  • The Borgo Pianello is a family-run resort. It is located in the middle of the mountains and offers a lot of peace and quiet.

    In the evening you can watch the sunset from the pool.

    Our venue is located in the Appenines that divide Tuscany from Emilia Romagna. The road to there is already pretty amazing, the view up there stunning. To get there you can either book a flight to Bologna or go by Flixbus (around 14h) or by (night) train (Berlin - Munich - Bologna, around 13h). Or you do a roadtrip :). To get to Bologna to our location (around 1,5h, with a cappuccino break) the best is to get a rental car and share it with other participants. There is also a public bus driving from Bologna to there – this might take a while.

  • (Early Bird prices are shown here: After February 28th 2024 the prices per person will increase by 100 Euros)

    Double room – 970 Euro p.P.

How to book?

This will be an absolute movement fiesta together. My intention is to gather people who practice with me at this amazing space to have a nourishing, relaxing and at the same time energizing and recharging time together.

I’m happy to welcome you in Italy.

You’ll get any further informations via e-mail then.
