Dear ESE family ,
We are delighted to invite you to the first annual ESE Retreat – a unique opportunity to step away from daily routines and reconnect with yourself.
For three days, together with Gemma and the ESE community, you will share moments of joy, awareness, and discovery, inspired by the philosophy and Values of our School.
More than just a retreat, it is an invitation to live fully, to grow, and to celebrate the journey together.
What’s waiting for you:
- Tennis with a private instructor
- Rebounding to boost mood, energy, and focus
- Breathing exercises to bring calm and clarity
- Group cooking: from pizza to cornetti for breakfast
- Team games and competitions
- Music, parties, and shared moments under the stars

When: Friday 17 October (afternoon) – Sunday 19 October (afternoon)
Price: €320 all-inclusive (2 nights, meals, activities and round-trip transportation from Florence)
How to join:
You’ll find the registration form on my desk, or feel free to contact me on WhatsApp or by email for more information.
Come and experience something special — a weekend to laugh, learn, and discover what it truly means to find your inner being.
The full program is attached.
A special thank you to Cristiano Verducci, who will be our mentor for the activities during our stay.
We can’t wait to see you there!
