The Artisan Tour in Italy
What if your next vacation was more than a break from the normal routine at home and more than a series of selfies in front of picturesque landscapes or impressive monuments? What if your time away was about becoming present in one stunning and ancient place, where you had time to make meaningful connections to the life, history, people, and culture of that place? What if this sojourn was able to rekindle your passion and creativity, delight all your senses, and evoke true joy and contentment such that you returned home with an awakened heart?
