"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Lao Tzu)

Our Wonderful Our Way of Tai Chi Retreat, from 5-9 April 2025,  at Villa Boccella near Lucca is drawing near!

You will revitalise your body, mind and spirit during your time at Villa Boccella and learn how to improve and strengthen your wellbeing through the ways of TAI CHI under the expert guidance of Tim Spratt who has led many retreats in both the UK and Italy over many years.

The retreat is open to EVERYONE, including beginners. We are almost full but have one residential place left, and, and we also have a new 'daily basis' option for locals and those of you on holiday in Tuscany who would like to join in but are not able to do the residential option. VERY SPECIAL OFFER both for the last residential place and non-residential option. Email tuscanyartsandhealing@gmail.com for more details - there's still time to book!

Founded in 2011, we offer a variety of different courses and workshops which have been mainly located around the beautiful, historic walled city of Lucca where we have been based. In 2019, we also ran courses and events for the first time in Florence, the capital of the Renaissance in Italy which we will continue to do.

Our courses have included a couple of introductory workshops on the Alexander Technique in Italian; 'Finding your Voice', a voice workshop with an ex-RSC actor and trainer; 'Master the Art of Running' workshops with internationally-acclaimed Level 4 Athletics Coach, Alexander Technique teacher and author of 'Master the Art of Running', Malcolm Balk; Yoga Day and Residential Retreats; and 'Corpo, Mente, Voce', a voice workshop for singers and performers in Italian using the Alexander Technique. We also initiated a Kirtan Chanting Group in Lucca a few years ago. 

In 2019, we had very successful workshops on Integrative Energetic Medicine in both Lucca and Florence with Dr. Fernand Poulin, from Atlanta, Georgia, USA,  who is a healing professional, and spiritual teacher.

Following the success of our Wonderful Way of Chi Kung Retreat in October 2022, we again welcomed London-based Tai Chi, Chi Kung and meditation teacher, Tim Spratt, to Italy in April 2024  with our 4-night, 5-day retreat in the principles and practice of Tai Chi where we had full house!

We are now very excited to be offering another 5-day, 4-night residential Tai Chi retreat at Villa Boccella near Lucca on 5-9 April 2025. Click on the box below for full information on this special Retreat.


Regular weekly activities include Pilates at a dedicated Pilates Studio in Lucca with Simonetta Merlin who is an excellent teacher. Groups are small to allow for personal attention.

Lisa Robbins is a UK-trained homeopath who is based in Florence but who also works remotely. She has a very useful website with an interesting monthly blog. Check her out on our links page.

Also in the pipeline for the future, highlights include a one-day Portrait Photography Workshop, a Vedic Art and Meditation Workshop, a painting workshop, 'Painting in the Tuscan hills', a Shinrin-yoku day retreat and further day and residential yoga retreats.
