The Retreat
Be transported on this 4-night retreat to the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany for a journey of replenishment, creativity, and wander during this magical summer retreat hosted by Villa Lena. Join cousins, Souljourn Yoga Foundation founder, Jordan Ashley and sound and breathwork practitioner, Allison Bagg, as they guide you through morning and evening movement and sound journeys focused on ritual and restoration. Our mornings will culminate with an energizing yoga flow (led by Jordan) inspired on the elements, while Allison will create evening soundscapes filled with guided meditations, alchemy crystal singing bowls and other meditative instruments. Included in the tuition to this retreat is a $300 donation to Souljourn Yoga’s On the Ground Yoga Teacher Training Program which empowers local women to teach yoga so that it can be accessible to everyone and anyone and adapted to serve global communities.
Alongside this nourishing retreat, we offer an array of additional activities and experiences. These include immersive workshops in the Villa Lena flower garden and the artists’ studios, 2x daily yoga and sound sessions, farm-to-table dining experiences, and even a hands-on Tuscan pasta-making workshop. All of these activities take place in the enchanting setting of Villa Lena, where guests can enjoy luxurious accommodations with views of the charming pink villa, take a dip in the heated pool, explore the mystical woodlands, and explore the artists’ studios for a delightful aperitivo.

Jordan Ashley
While embracing New York City’s fast-paced and driven yoga culture, our founder, Jordan Ashley, recognized a need for service-based yoga; a need for experiences which give perspective to the self through selflessness. Feeling extremely blessed to not only be given the opportunity for education, but to have a voice in society, she felt it was imperative to raise both awareness and funds for girls all over the planet who are denied such essential human rights.
Allison Bagg
Allison Bagg is a sound healer, breathwork facilitator, intuitive guide and artist based in Los Angeles. She utilizes a plethora of modalities to help clients ground into their bodies, establish strong boundaries and open portals to the magic and abundance within. Certified in gong, crystal alchemy singing bowls, planetary chimes and tuning forks, Allison aims to bring together both hemispheres of the brain in a beautiful marriage of spirit and science. Everything is vibration, after all, and by tuning ourselves like instruments, we can heal everything from the physical on a cellular level, as well as the spiritual, energetic and vibrational forces within.
