  • Day 1: Arrival and Roman Welcome

    Gather in Campo di Fiori, our homebase in Rome that’s full of character. Kerry frames the week’s journey: how evidence-based science and lived traditions converge to shape longevity in the city and the country. We’ll also consider the definition of health before we tuck into a lively group dinner.

  • Day 2: Sustainability and Nutrition

    Begin the day with gentle yoga before breakfast. A talk on nutrition sets the stage for an immersion into Rome’s modern, yet deeply rooted food culture. Walking past breathtaking historic sites we visit the markets and collect our ingredients for a hands-on cooking workshop. En route to Tuscany, we gather a sense of the community behind Rome’s food obsessions. By evening, we arrive at Tenuta San Carlo, a stunning coastal estate in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Unwind before a welcoming meal.

  • Day 3: Immerse in Farm Life

    Enjoy a Tuscan breakfast with a talk on physical activity and longevity. Next embark on a rice tour of the Maremma farm with 4th-generation Italian farmer, Ariane Lotti. Here we discuss how sustainability and human health intersect. Next Ariane leads us on a rice sensory experience. A relaxed afteroon offers time to bike through Tuscan pines to the beach. Evening aperitivi comes with talks on stress reduction and the behavior change required to incorporate lifestyle changes.

  • Day 4: Food Systems and Social Connection

    After morning yoga in the the farm villa and a light breakfast, we explore the agricultural heart of the Maremma, connecting with farmers who embody the principles of food as medicine. We return to Tenuta San Carlo for lunch, rest and reflection. At sunset, we gather for an aperitivo, as Kerry talks about social connection and longevity. Greg leads a mid-week check-in to synthesize learning and set the table for commitments to take home. Discussion continues over another delicious dinner.

  • Day 5: Cheese and Chill

    Over breakfast, we talk about the behavior change required to make lifestyle shifts and we visit a buffalo farm where we see how uniquely Italian cheese is made before a lunch-sized tasting. The afternoon is open for a ride to the beach on a protected stretch of coastline or take a walk around the farm, being sure to pet the dogs. Then enjoy our family-style dinner that together we’ve prepared as well as an evening conversation with the local Chefs.

  • Day 6: Mindfulness in a Serene Farm Setting

    Rise with the sun for yoga on the farm, followed by breakfast. We leave the farm to visit a local winery and learn about the time-honored traditions of Tuscan wine-making. Then it’s another relaxing afternoon before we visit the neighboring town of Castaglione and enjoy a pasta and pizza-making class (preceding dinner, of course) at the restaurant of the chefs who have been cooking for us all week.

  • Day 7: Wrap-up and Reflection

    One final breakfast on the farm before we gather to reflect, share lessons, voice commitments and cement new connections. The journey concludes with a final assessment and farewell. We leave Tuscany with a delicious sack lunch, headed for travel home or onward in Italy.

Italians tell us that Fall is their favorite season. The temperatures are comfortable, the crowds are smaller, and the harvest’s bounty is all around.

This trip looks at all of the lifestyle factors that explain Italian longevity, centered on producing, cooking, and eating food. Regenerative agriculture refers to approaches farmers take to sustaining the health of their land and their crops. It also informs regenerative living — people sustaining their health through good food, an active lifestyle, and community-minded conversation. We start in the city, then proceed to the country.

Gathering in Rome, we see this bustling global city through the lens of how regular modern Romans live and eat — in particular, their obsession with fresh, locally-produced food.

Then we step into farms, vineyards, and small towns. We dive into how growing great food leads to good lifestyles. This one-week immersion combines evidence-based education with the rhythms of daily life in the Italian countryside.

Through hands-on cooking classes, bike rides to the beach, walks in cypress-lined hills, yoga in historic villas, and conversations with local farmers, chefs, and healers, you’ll see why Italians live longer — and how to bring those lessons into self-care and patient care.
