of the journey
This retreat centers on the pleasures of Tuscan living through experiences that are both rooted and sensorially rich.
uests visit vibrant local markets alongside a chef before an interactive cooking class grounded in regional tradition, enjoy private wine tastings that reveal Tuscany through every glass, and rise for a sunrise hot-air balloon ride lifting directly from the estate, offering an unforgettable perspective on the landscape and the quiet grandeur that defines this extraordinary region.
Beyond its signature moments, the retreat invites guests into a spacious rhythm of pleasure, beauty, and ease. A private villa set within a centuries-old Tuscan castle estate creates a feeling of intimacy and belonging, while an elegant vineyard dinner, truffle hunting, and long-table meals celebrate the rituals of Tuscan hospitality. Days unfold through horseback rides across the countryside, guided e-bike explorations of hilltop villages, canoeing on the estate’s tranquil lake, and long afternoons beside the pool. An in-villa massage and Susan Wise’s signature movement and reflection practices bring restoration to the experience, while generous time for wine, conversation, and stillness allows guests to savor Tuscany not as a checklist, but as a way of living. Together, these elements create a retreat that feels abundant, restorative, grounded in place, and shaped by beauty, pleasure, and unhurried connection.

Ideal
Guest
This retreat is designed for travelers who love food, wine, beauty, and the pleasures of gathering well. It is especially suited to those who are drawn to a more expansive style of travel – one that pairs movement and restoration with exceptional hospitality, rich sensory experience, and the joy of living slowly and fully.
Together, these experiences create something far richer than a vacation—they offer a true invitation into the heart and soul of San Miguel de Allende. An invitation to travel fully alive.
What's included?
Your Living Lineage brings together a rare convergence of moments: a front-row seat at the Copa Vendemia polo tournament, an exclusive Santa Catrina dinner with polo players and sponsors beneath the vines of San Lucas vineyard, thermal baths, sound healing, and the quiet magic of San Miguel de Allende’s cobblestone streets — all woven through with something most luxury travel never offers: the space to actually exhale.
We begin with a lively welcome dinner that doubles as a cooking class led by a Mexican-born, French-trained chef—an easy, laughter-filled evening designed to bring everyone together over extraordinary food.
Each morning, Susan leads her signature sessions blending conversation, reflection, and gentle movement to awaken presence, joy, and self-awareness.
Our days include a private sound healing at extraordinary thermal baths, a leisurely vineyard lunch overlooking a tranquil lagoon, guided historic stroll through San Miguel’s historic center, and in-house massages.
One evening we gather for dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Parroquia before enjoying live music nearby.
Beautiful surroundings, thoughtful experiences, and shared laughter make this a retreat for both heart and spirit.
Your investment includes transportation, accommodations, meals, activities, and materials.
