7 Day Breathwork and Healing Retreat in the Heart of Tuscany, Italy

Set at ASHA Retreat & Community Centre, just outside the medieval village of Castell'Azzara in southern Tuscany, this seven-day BreathCamp is the flagship in-person offering from Alchemy of Breath, a school that's been teaching conscious connected breathwork online and in person for years. The property itself is a converted farmstead surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and organic gardens, with simple, rustic buildings that house communal spaces, a pool, a yoga shala, and a library. It's a place that feels both remote and welcoming — the kind of spot where you can hear yourself think, but also find company whenever you want it.

Each day, you'll gather for morning movement practice, usually yoga or gentle stretching, followed by a plant-based breakfast. Then comes the core of the retreat: breathwork sessions that range from foundational techniques to Anthony's signature Bridge process for trauma healing and his Mandala Breathwork, a deep, immersive practice. Afternoons often include workshops on topics like emotional regulation, personal growth, or professional breathwork facilitation, as well as group shares where you can reflect on your experiences. Evenings are lighter — drum circles, dancing, singing with Amy, or just quiet time under the stars.

The teaching team is led by Anthony and Amy, who are joined by a rotating cast of master trainers and facilitators. Emily Ray Henderson brings her background in yoga and reiki, Pablo focuses on the felt sense and water therapy, and Giulia offers craniosacral therapy and movement. There's also Michael, who leads sound baths with therapeutic music, and Monica, who gets everyone moving and dancing. With such a diverse team, you're exposed to many different approaches to healing, all anchored by the breath.

What makes this retreat stand out is the sense of community. Around half the participants are often graduates of Alchemy of Breath's online programs, returning to deepen their practice and reconnect with friends. That means newcomers are welcomed into an established, caring group — there's a built-in support system from the moment you arrive. The schedule also includes optional excursions to nearby hot springs and Etruscan ruins, though the daily program is substantial enough that you can easily fill your week without leaving the property. Whether you're looking to heal something specific or just want a week devoted to your inner life, this retreat offers a structured, supported space to do that work.
