Narrative and Nourishment Retreats in Italy

Drawing on Lodo’s Italian heritage and experience in food and sustainability, we bring an essential dimension to the healing process: food. Through travel and culinary discovery, we invite participants to explore how nourishment, storytelling, and place intertwine.

Our 8-day retreat, set between one of Italy’s most beautiful cities and its surrounding countryside, weaves together Narrative Medicine sessions with hands-on cooking classes, wine tastings, and shared meals. Each day balances reflection and embodiment, inviting participants to rediscover connection, creativity, and well-being through stories, flavors, and community.

Retreat Dates: September 13–20, 2026
Location: Between Milan and the Langhe region—one of Italy’s most renowned food and wine landscapes
