Take time for yourself by listening to your soul. Find peace and tranquillity in your own private travel club for artful women. The Anima Club is a sanctuary for 8 likeminded women to take a deep breath and transport into a more simple life, free of worries, free of deadlines, free of technology... filled with Pilates, meditation, yoga, relaxation, creative arts (writing, drawing and photography), wholesome fresh local foods prepared on site and on our outings, and love. You will decompress in a magnificently calm and ancient setting in southern Italy, each year in a different location, during 8 glorious days.

Inspiration

It came to me in a dream. Upon reaching my 4th decade on Earth, I realized I wanted to learn to tame time. The business of my everyday life leads me to difficult nights in which I lay in bed sleepless (without being able to shut off an overworked brain) or, on good nights, it leads me to deep exhaustive sleep (which allows me to peek into my soul... and dream). During one such dream-filled night, I envisioned myself breathing in the pure Mediterranean air, perched atop a calcite white cliff, in southern Italy, meditating and emptying my mind of all ailments, concentrating on ME. I have sat in silence, listening to the ocean waves, many times before, but this dream made me feel... different. It made me inspired to find sanctuary away from every day life, for an extended period of time... and it made me visualize the experience alongside a small group of equally deserving women. I cannot possibly be the only one in this stage of life!

The idea came to me in a dream, but during daylight I researched, and organized, and created. The Anima Club was born out of my inner need for relaxation and peace, and expanded into wanting to share this peace with likeminded women whom could benefit from a time away from reality.
