Beyond the Festival
Giocosamente Festival is our annual gathering. But the work of playfulness, personal growth, and authentic connection doesn’t stop there. Throughout the year, we offer retreats, workshops, and online experiences — deeper dives for those who want to live this philosophy beyond the festival.
Our retreats, workshops, and festivals share one conviction: your health and aliveness improve most through genuine connection and playfulness. If you’re searching for that – whether you’re a play enthusiast, an early retiree, or just tired of the hustle – we create spaces where you can find it.
Have a look below and see if something else tickles your fancy, or you know someone who it does.

Giocosamente - The Art of Living Playfully
This four-week live online journey takes the Giocosamente experience deeper — into your actual life.
How the Coaching Works
Your Path Through Playfulness
The Playful Path is built on three pillars. We work through each one — not as separate topics, but as an integrated unfolding of your aliveness.
Vibrant Body
You reconnect with movement, breath, and what nourishes you physically. Not fitness culture. Not self-improvement theatre. Real vitality. You learn what your body already knows about joy — and how to access it again. Joyful Mind. You quiet the critical voice and reconnect with curiosity. You discover your unique play personality — the ways you naturally come alive. You learn to set this as your default mode, so playfulness becomes infrastructure, not a luxury you squeeze in.
Joyful Mind
You quiet the critical voice and reconnect with curiosity. You discover your unique play personality — the ways you naturally come alive. You learn to set this as your default mode, so playfulness becomes infrastructure, not a luxury you squeeze in. Loving Heart. You rebuild your capacity for genuine connection — with yourself, with others, with what matters. You discover how vulnerability and playfulness are actually the same thing. Your relationships shift. Your generosity becomes boundless because it's no longer exhausted.
Loving Heart

Through live sessions, playful practices, and real conversations, you move through this journey. Not in a straight line — playfulness has its own rhythm, its own logic. And you emerge on the other side knowing that aliveness was never something to chase. It was something to allow.

Week 1
Authentic Self Discovery 🌈
Unleashing Your Playful Rebel
In this session, you will be guided to reconnect with your playful, rebellious, courageous, adventurous spirit, and re-discover WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS MOST in life to you, below the surface. This will prepare you to recreate your identity, path, and perspective from there…
We begin at the beginning — not with fixing what’s broken, but with excavating what’s alive. You’ll explore the moments when you felt most yourself, most free, most real. Those aren’t accidents. They’re clues. Together, we’ll map your play personality — the specific ways you come alive that are uniquely yours, not someone else’s version of what play should look like. By the end of this week, you’ll have clarity on what you’ve been missing, and permission to pursue it without apology.
Week 2
Playful Vitality
Holistic Health and Vibrant Body
Now that you know what calls to you, we fuel it. This week is about reconnecting with your body as a source of joy, not just obligation. You’ll learn simple practices — movement, breath, nourishment — that awaken vitality without requiring hours of discipline…
We explore how play lives in your body: in the lightness of laughter, the aliveness of real movement, the satisfaction of rest that actually restores. You’ll leave this week with concrete daily practices that fit into your actual life, and a renewed sense of what it feels like to be genuinely energised.
Week 3
Lifestyle Transformation 🌈
Joyful Living!
On this day, you’ll hit the “Kill Switch” on your autopilot lifestyle and be equipped with the mindset and tools to redesign who you want to be and how you want to live from the ground up. This is where intention meets action. You’ve discovered what matters…
You’ve felt what aliveness tastes like. Now we rebuild your actual life around it. We look honestly at where time and energy are going — and where they’re being wasted on things that don’t serve you. You’ll create a realistic, playful redesign of your week, your habits, your commitments. Not a rigid plan. A permission structure. By the end of this session, you’ll know exactly what to stop, what to start, and what to keep — and you’ll have the courage to make those choices.
Week 4
Heartfelt Connections
Connection & Emotional Well-being
Get ready to go from shy to feeling fully connected, alive and excited for everything that you’ll make happen in your life once you’ve hit that “reset” button. Aliveness doesn’t happen in isolation. This final week is about bringing your whole self into your relationships…
with less performance, more presence. You’ll explore how vulnerability and playfulness are woven together. You’ll learn to ask for what you need, to receive what’s offered, to give without depletion. You’ll reconnect with the people who matter most, and discover how your renewed aliveness actually ripples outward, changing the people around you. By the end of these four weeks, you’re not just changed — you’re part of a community of people who are walking this path together.

FREEDOM – FUN – FINDING YOUR CALLING
Pirates of Play: A 5-Day Reclamation
You’ve spent decades being sensible. Reliable. Measured. Now what?
This retreat is for people who can feel something stirring — a call to be bolder, jollier, more themselves — but haven’t given themselves permission to answer it yet. We’re using the pirate frame literally: you’re stepping into wild coastal landscapes, roaring ocean, tavern culture, and genuine adventure. But what you’re really doing is claiming back the playfulness you were taught to suppress. Sea salt. Stories. Movement. A crew ready to reclaim what matters. And the slow clarity of what’s calling you next.
RESET – RECONNECTION – RENEW
