Nudity is present but not required or pressured at Dolce Far Niente. You retain complete bodily autonomy & will not be required to do anything you do not want to do.
The goal is to provide a safe space where women can feel free to be completely comfortable in their bodies. Whether you are an active lover of naturism or wanting to try for the first time what it feels like to be in your most natural essence in nature.
-
Nutritious meals & snacks will be provided daily, with ingredients sourced locally and directly from the land whenever possible.

Dolce Far Niente operates on a sliding scale because we believe every woman who needs this experience should have access to it. This is a community centered event, but it also has financial needs to ensure its success.
The pricing for this retreat has 3 tiers:
At Cost: Covers only essential location, food, & activity expenses.
True Price: Reflects the full cost of a ticket, including planning & labor.
Benefactor: Cost of your ticket plus donation- This helps support those who cannot afford the True Price while also allowing Flow & Fern to continue offering retreats like this in the future. Your contribution, at any level, helps sustain this shared experience.

Overnight stays are sleepover style- meaning you will likely be sharing a bed with a sister. If you have a friend you’d like to room with just let us know!
What Women Are Saying

This retreat is like living in an alternate dimension where the world stopped spinning for a weekend. Connecting with nature, our heart spaces, bodies and other lovely women, is truly something I will be taking with me for the rest of my existence on this earth. Mahalo to everyone who was a part of this experience and I will be taking pieces of you all on my own journey to love, light and feminine embodiment.

This women's retreat was truly such a beautiful experience. Being surrounded by genuine, supportive, feminine energy felt so healing & grounding. Every moment felt intentional, safe, and uplifting. I left feeling reconnected to myself and my femininity. Highly recommend to any woman craving real connection and a soul nourishing space.

I knew I needed something like this, but could never have imagined just how desperately until I got into that space. The feminine spirit is magic. Bella and Alex created the perfect container, and allow each participant to soak in it both individually and in connection. I can’t remember a time I felt more powerful, more radiant, or more open.

I attended the single day session, and while I wish I had time to stay the full weekend, I still left feeling refreshed and supported by the lovely women involved in the retreat. It was a beautiful safe space to laugh, cry, and just be.

I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to rest, reflect and recharge in nature with women. The facilitators went above and beyond in their setup and support throughout the experience. We were well nourished with delicious foods, adorned in beautiful silk robes and given the time, space and fun activities that all made for a replenishing day.
