Bruno Busnel
Enjoy an exquisite retreat to uncover the flavours of Tantra in the beauty of Tuscany! Open your heart to the ancient mythologies to reveal the mysterious relationship of Shiva & Shakti from within. Coalescing Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama with a deep understanding of how to work with ritual and sacred art.
Bruno & Shakti's collaboration began during a spiritual pilgrimage in South India. As Tantric practitioners of the same lineage for twenty years, Bruno and Shakti draw from their years of practicing, sharing a space to ignite the inner fire. They equally invoke spontaneity in their teachings, where everything is harnessed as potentials for transformation, allowing for love to reside.
Ebbio Farm, Tuscany Italy
We will welcome you in a rural complex from the 12th century converted into a charming agriturismo, full of fascinating history. Silence, earthy colors and fragrances are still prominent. This magical place sits between Siena and Florence.
Inside an evergreen forest, it sits on an extinct volcano that was sacred to the Etruscans, and overlooks the medieval walled town of Monteriggioni. An annual harvest of grapes is used to make authentic Chianti Wine that Tuscany is so well known for. They cultivate olive trees, vineyards, officinal plants, fruits, and vegetables, used in the preparation of the vegetarian meals during our retreat. The farm has cows, horses, donkeys, chickens, doves, geese, and dogs.
Rustic yet refined accommodations set itself apart from other Tuscan villas. An 800-year-old classic Tuscany farmhouse converted into a stylish place. The ambiance of this place is indeed a one-of-a-kind experience.

In Tuscany there are 7 sites protected by Unesco and some of them are very close by. Monteriggioni is within walking distance (1.8km) and once in the village you can take a visual tour of the towers of the Tuscan countryside. Sienna

Chianti is another entertaining itinerary that is quite close. The main sites to visit are Castellina in Chianti (15km) Radda in Chianti (25km) and Greve in Chianti (34km), just the drive through the wine cultivated hills justify the excursion.

Ancient Walking Trail Via Francigena
The via Francigena is the ancient route that in medieval times connected Canterbury to Rome. Nowadays it remains a path of pilgrimage, as the way of Santiago di Compostela but also represents a different way to discover Tuscany. Take a journey through time in close contact with the environment and local retails. Ebbio is just 800 metres away from the starting point of the route from Monteriggioni to Siena; the start from Monteriggioni to San Gimignano is just over 1km.
