Big News of a Big Award

Yes, indeed, we are totally chuffed to have just been awarded - wait for it - 'Best European Retreat' by Natural Health, the leading magazine in our area.

So thanks to Natural Health for that, thanks to everyone who's helped make us the Best European Retreat… our staff, and all our wonderful guests who have contributed to this whole exciting venture over the years.

Gaia's Magic

Many of you have experienced Gaia's magic during F**k It weeks at The Hill or in tea ceremonies or in her events in the UK. Well, she's now wrapped all her magic up into 'Gaia's Magic'… two weeks at The Hill in the summer, and regular events in the UK too, including her highly sought-after Magic London Experience.

Daily Reasons to be Cheerful

Yes, we have a big reason to be cheerfulReasons to be cheerful at the moment, with that Best European Retreat (oh, there we go again, saying those words)…

Now, back in the dark days of February, we had a Reasons to be Cheerful competition (won by Lucy Evans), and we got so many great submissions that we thought it would be a nice idea to share them with you every day… So you can be reminded every day of some great Reasons to be Cheerful.

So here's today's, submitted by Joan…

'My reason to be cheerful is all around health. After having a challenging two years dealing with a serious health issue I can say it had a profound - and positive impact on my life. To wake up every morning knowing you have experienced something few people have; facing your destiny, and coming out the other side is an inspiration. My state of being now everyday is to be cheerful and to share that cheer in a way that spreads kindness, support and love to others. Added to this is having my son who keeps me happy and focused every single day.

Hi, John & Gaia here.

After winning ‘Europe’s Best Retreat’ in 2011, The Hill That Breathes has gone mobile – we’re now taking the bits we most loved at The Hill to other great venues around Italy.

So you can do F**k It Weeks or Gaia’s Magic weeks or spend a week with the Barefoot Doctor or Master Grunick… and more…

All at three spectacular venues around Italy: including an amazing estate & spa near Urbino (The Hill’s location) and a Volcanic island (Stromboli, near Sicily).

All this, under the banner of  F**k It Retreats

Do click and see our new site, here. And do come and enjoy a great retreat with us.

It’s The Hill, but better.

P.S. The Hill That Breathes will lie fallow for now.
