Refreshing mind and spirit!

Mediumship requires intense focus and can deplete the energy body, so our schedule includes sufficient breaks to rebuild and refresh. Whether a swim in the onsite pool, a walk in the woods, journaling in a tranquil setting, or a short hike to the quaint medieval hilltop town of Montecello–whatever you seek, Le Pianore can provide.
