Sun’s out while we write with Shine Retreats in Italy

I took this photo on the first day of a Writing and Pilates Retreat with Shine Retreats on the Tuscan border of Umbria. The sun was out, and though I swerved the wine at lunch, later I spied a carafe of golden white while sitting outside with my laptop. I poured myself this glass and enjoyed the view, and later still found myself lying flat on the warm springy grass with an Umbrian breeze whippeting over and around me, arms out, earthing. Retreats are all about balance, I thought to myself.
