Bloom and Grow Retreat

With Diana Nicoli at Hotel Giardino Ascona

In Ascona in August: warm light, the gentle rhythm of Lake Maggiore, the scent of oleander and citrus. Three days to pause — and reconnect a little more deeply with yourself.
The Bloom and Grow Retreat brings together yoga, breathwork and quiet mindfulness with everything that makes Giardino Ascona so special: exceptional cuisine, the dipiù Spa, and moments of genuine ease.
Guided by Diana Nicoli with experience, sensitivity and a touch of humour, the retreat is free of strict rules and performance. Instead, it offers space to feel at ease, recharge and let new energy unfold.
