So, last week, I decided to ditch the digital world for a bit. I went on a social media detox (cue dramatic music) and landed at Datu Wellness. Picture this: an Ayurvedic and yoga wellness retreat nestled in the serene Tuscan landscape. Little did I expect that steering clear of LinkedIn and Instagram would be the easy part…

What a magical thing you have created with Datu. It genuinely was a very special experience, and you have curated a really interesting and exceptional group of practitioners to offer something that not many people offer.

The set up was great, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely. Nothing was ever too much to ask whatever it was, or from whomever. That really is remarkable to be able to be so calm and kind and present when you have so much going on and a hotel full of demanding guests.

I met some beautiful souls and am grateful to have had the opportunity to put a brief pause on life during which I was able to learn and to inwardly reflect. The programme was a perfect balance of yoga, meditation, chanting, and sound healing; the yoga was at a level where everyone felt they could participate without feeling uncomfortable. Your team was wonderful – authentic, kind, professional, experienced and clearly passionate. And I especially enjoyed the evening talks which were excellent – educational, interesting and thought-provoking. Overall, I had a truly transformative time, and have incorporated a large chunk of Ayurvedic food into my daily life – thank you.
