La Selva Positano
A quieter rhythm above the sea
A broad panorama of the Positano sea sets the scene at La Selva, where nature is central to the retreat’s identity. The place grew from a social-promotion association established in March 2002, and its coastal setting invites a slower pace and time outdoors. Rather than describing a particular meditation lineage or fixed program, La Selva’s character is rooted in its natural surroundings and its view across the water. That makes it a quieter kind of retreat prospect for travelers drawn to landscape as much as to a scheduled course. Retreats are paid, but rates, length, and day-to-day activities can differ, so contact the association before making plans. Ask the host about the practice offered during your dates, what is included, and how to reach the property from Positano. The setting is the clearest point of distinction: sea, hillside scenery, and a nature-led atmosphere.
