Chill – Connect – Create Camp

Chill – Connect – Create is a 3-step transformation process, first introduced in Annicken R. Day's bestselling novel Fly, Butterfly.

It starts with Chill:, to slow down, breathe, relax and enjoy. To have all our senses awakened and create space in our minds, hearts and souls for what comes next.

Connect is about exploring, listening, and connecting to ourselves; finding back to the essence of who we are, why we are here, and rediscover our heart's true desires.

Create is about finding back to our creative core, to turn our ideas and dreams into something tangible, something real, something that is ready to be created and manifested. 

The 7-days Chill, Connect, Create experience is designed to take you on a journey into yourself, and give you the inspiration and tools to bring what you learn back into your life and to the world.  

We chose the word Camp as it has has an active, social, informal and playful energy to it - just like our Camp!

We will be staying in a beautiful, traditional Tuscan farmhouse (more details below) with an incredible view over the Tuscan landscape while we talk, enjoy ourselves, and indulge in the wonderful culinary experiences the region can offer.

Whether you choose to stay in a shared bedroom or a double bedroom for single use, you will be socialising with the other "Campers" during the days and evenings. And if you need some alone time, there are plenty of spaces where you can have that as well.

We have created a unique program that spans from (simple) yoga and meditation to inspiring workshops, self-reflection and group discussions, combined with plenty of time for pure enjoyment. This is designed for you, and you are free to pick and choose whatever activities, experiences and sessions that feels most right for you.

How often do you take time to focus on YOU?

To relax, give yourself some time and attention, enjoy yourself, and just BE. To reflect on where you are in life, what matters to you, what you want? And then start creating it.

The Chill, Connect, Create Camp is designed to give you the place, the space, the environment and the inspiration to focus on the most important person in your life: YOU. 

By giving yourself the gift of chill and relaxation, connecting with yourself and others, and tap into your creative power to move forward with something that matters to you, you are making your thoughts, ideas, dreams and feelings count… and put into motion.   

What comes after that might be pure magic. 

Your wings already exist. You just need to spread them and FLY.
