Rossella Baroncini's Intensive Retreat

20th-27th June 2026

Rossella is back after a 2 year break
– and we’re so delighted to be hosting another one of her intensive retreats,
this year over the Summer Solstice!

This is such a special retreat – as anyone who as attended over the years knows. A direct student of Vanda Scaravelli with whom she began studying in 1983 and continued one-to-one tuition for the last 17 years of Vanda’s life, Rossella Baroncini has been coming to Macalla Farm since 2005.

She continues to explore and share with us the teachings she received from Vanda, preserving their simplicity and freedom which lead to a deep reconnection with nature, through the exploration of gravity, the spine and the breath.

Through slow, deliberate and highly intuitive practice, Rossella guides us so that we can begin to let go of conditioning and habits, allowing us to open instead of imposing and forcing, to listen instead of doing, enabling a natural unfolding of the body and mind in whatever ways the present moment calls for.

This retreat is suitable for experienced practitioners and teachers.
