Half-day Retreat | Rituale di Donna | Ritual of a Woman

Rituale di Donna is a half-day retreat for the women in Puglia — a time to put everything down, come back to your body, and listen deeply to yourself with no distractions.

Guided by Erin Rose — women’s embodiment educator and yoga teacher from Australia — and hosted by Romina at Villa Cassano, the day moves through the four energies that live in every woman: the surrendering, the deep and reflective, the alive and fierce, and the joyful and fertile. A woman’s own seasons. Her own wisdom. Brought back to life at this half day retreat.

What the day holds:

✓ Aura and chakra cleanse — clearing the layers of energy you’ve been carrying
✓ Yin yoga — deep, slow, restorative
✓ Sound bowl bath
✓ Journalling — writing what needs to be said
✓ Burning ceremony — releasing what no longer belongs to you
✓ Optional cold water plunge (bring bathers and a change of clothes)
✓ Pugliese aperitivo at 6:30pm — local olives, cheeses, and seasonal produce
✓ Closing celebration and connection with women

The event is held in English with Italian support from Romina throughout.

Investment: €65 per woman
Places are limited.

Meet your facilitator:

Erin Rose is an Australian yoga teacher, Aura-Soma colour therapist, and women's embodiment educator with over a decade of guiding women back to their bodies, their cycles, and their inner knowing.

Erin brings her whole life to her work, now as a new mother who birthed her son at home, and a wife.

Holding a 500-hour yoga teaching certification, Level III Advanced Aura-Soma Colour Therapy qualification, and training in Somatic Stress Release and subtle body anatomy, Erin's work sits at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern women's health. She has taught at retreat centres across Australia — including Gaia Retreat & Spa in the Byron hinterland — and has spent years facilitating women's circles, seasonal workshops, and embodiment programmes.

Erin's teaching is grounded, warm, and deeply practical. She teaches from what she has lived, integrated, and come to know in her own body. She is not a guru. She is a woman, doing the work alongside you.

For Erin, the body is a woman's greatest source of intelligence. Find Erin on Instagram Here
