As Above, So Within — retreat center

As Above, So Within

Listen inward, with others beside you

Italy Roma donation

On a curved lane in central Rome, the street itself carries a trace of the ancient world: Via di Grotta Pinta follows the foundations of the Theatre of Pompey, its arc once shaped by the theatre’s seating. As Above, So Within brings that sense of history into a contemporary retreat devoted to inner work. Its approach grew from a collaboration between a depth-oriented psychotherapist, an astrologer and life coach, whose practices meet around the idea that healing begins with listening closely to the body and one’s inner life. Retreats are designed for women who want to explore personal questions in a supportive group setting and connect with others on a similar path. The venue is steps from Campo de’ Fiori, with a yoga studio, kitchen, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and tea and coffee facilities. Retreats run by donation; confirm the contribution and retreat details with the organizers before making plans.
