Maison Nomade curates small, immersive retreats around the world. Our flagship experience, Dance to Live, takes you to the coast of Tuscany for nine days of movement, music, and community with renowned dance therapist Simonetta Ottone.
We believe the most meaningful travel isn't about checking off sights — it's about slowing down, creating with others, and coming home changed. Maison Nomade partners with expert-led retreats around the world that offer exactly that. Right now, we're proud to feature one: Dance to Live, in coastal Livorno, Italy.
Every retreat we feature is led in person by its host, with small groups so you're never just a face in the crowd.
Our hosts have spent decades honing their craft — dance movement therapy, music, wellness, and cultural immersion done right.
Local accommodations, real neighborhoods, real culture — not a resort. You leave with more than a suntan.
Nine days on the coast of Livorno blending Dance Movement Therapy, music and sound work, body percussion, and guided excursions to Florence, Pisa, and Venice. Choose a 3-day taste, a 7-day core intensive, or the full 11-day Grand Tour.
Led by Simonetta Ottone and a team of nine specialists in dance therapy, music therapy, psychology, and movement medicine — open to professionals and to anyone seeking real personal renewal.
