Hi everyone,
John & Gaia here.
As most of you who’ve followed us for a while will know,
we’ve evolved things over the last few years.
We used to run many retreats. In fact, we used to own and run a retreat centre in Italy (‘The Hill That Breathes’, which we ran from 2004 to 2011).
But we now focus on more in-depth training,
for Gaia in ‘Being Yourself’, and for John in high-level relaxation, so –
- Gaia runs her 3-year ‘Being Me Mastery’ training (which includes retreats in Italy throughout the training).
- John & Gaia are running a special retreat in Italy in 2026 on ‘How to Regulate the Nervous System by Being Yourself and In The Present’.
If you want to get a sense of where we’ve come from, do watch the film ‘Stromboli’, a work of fiction, but written by a participant of one of our ‘F**k It Retreats’, and based loosely on those retreats they were running years ago.
Have a browse of what we do, and we look forward to seeing you in 2026.

Here are our retreats & events for 2026 –
“I barely have the vocabulary to describe how incredible this experience was.”
“I barely have the vocabulary to describe how incredible this experience was.
Gaia and John (created) what can only be described as, a magical experience! John’s F**k it philosophy, charisma and wit perfectly complemented Gaia’s profound knowledge and careful craft when it came to development work.
I have truly walked out of this experience a different person with a refreshing new perspective on life.
Also, rather unexpectedly, I gained some lifelong friends along the way.”
