Tuscany Arts and Healing co-ordinate and facilitate workshops, events and courses focussing on personal growth, healing and creativity in stunning venues within the breathtaking landscapes around Tuscany.
And whilst Tuscany remains our base, we now have plans afoot for a new venture #tuscanycomestocornwall in Spring 2027 with our first residential retreat in the far west of Cornwall - more details will be winging their way to this page very soon.
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 original Wonderful Way of Qigong Retreat in October 2022, we have welcomed London-based Tai Chi, Qigong and meditation teacher, Tim Spratt, three further times in recent years including this with our 4-night, 5-day residential retreats in the principles and practice of Tai Chi in the stunning setting of Villa Boccella in the hills near Lucca. We look forward to welcoming Tim again in the future here in Lucca.
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 and sound healer 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.
