Attending Breathwork retreat has profoundly changed my life! I met the most amazing people, accepting every messy bit of me and showering me with love and support. The sessions and classes helped me to connect with my intuition on a very deep and safe level. I highly recommend the whole experience, it will push you forward in your processes in a way you wouldn't expect.
I'm quite new to breathwork. Breathing techniques that they use here are wow, so powerful. I literally connected with my ancestors and it was the most loving beautiful experience that I could have ever imagined. They brought me to tears, I got rid of so many things out of me that were in the body and then it just released me to this loving kind of happy place where I can see that the universe is actually not hostile.

Check the bottom of this page for more details and resources on how to get to ASHA.
It’s about 1.5 kilometers or a 20 minute very beautiful walk along a vast massive view of the valley. It’s up a big hill from ASHA, so it’s for the fit-minded. Otherwise, it’s a 5 minute drive.
Yes, free wifi is available in the main house and Dharma Den, though not in the rooms, or around the property.
We suggest picking up a TIM or Wind SIM card when you arrive Italy. Because ASHA is half hour away from a major town, it’s important to pick it up before coming to ASHA.
At ASHA we have 7 cats, and 2 dogs. Given the sensitive nature of cats (and previous not so great experiences with dogs chasing them) leashes are required – and strictly enforced. And no, our dogs are not on leashes as they are integrated with our cats. They know who the boss is, and we know where they poo. We are surrounded by endless woods where your dog can roam free, though please keep them on a leash while at ASHA. Also, please be mindful of cleaning up poo so no one steps in it! There’s a 40 euro donation fee per pet.
The nearest laundry mat is about 20 minutes away in Aquapendente.
Smoking is only permitted in the parking lot. Please do not smoke inside or outside of your room, in the common areas, or other areas of ASHA, and all camp locations. And do consider that smoking isn’t a part of our culture, and not encouraged.
There are 2 restaurants in Castell’Azzara: La Tana d’Orso – which is a favorite, and a pizzeria called La Rosa dei Venti. Also in nearby San Giovanni delle Contee(10 minutes drive away), there’s Osteria Maccalè – we love this place. Also check out the nearby towns for more options (that are super beautiful) Pitigliano and Sorano.
Please keep in mind we are well-being center… this just isn’t the place for smoking, drugs, or alcohol. Like to have a glass of wine here and there? Sure. Though we trust you understand the nature of this work, and will not abuse the use of wine, just because it’s part of Italian culture (at ASHA, and in general while staying in the area).
There’s one grocery store – The Co-op – and veg store, and a Thursday morning produce/general stuff market as well. The Co-op does have some organic dry products. We recommend bringing any speciality items. It’s basic in Castell’Azzara, not bad, though basic.
There are many hiking trails around ASHA! If you’re interested, we recommend checking with our community member Stuart, who knows pretty much all of them. Castell’Azzara is surrounded with beautiful villages, such as Pitigliano or Sorano. There are also many historical sites dating back to the Etruscan people, the ancestors whose spirits are still spreading blessings to the land around ASHA.
Kids are welcome at ASHA, and a huge part of our vision. There’s plenty of space for them to roam around in a safe environment. Please be responsible for them at all times, including their clean up in communal spaces. Kids can only stay in private accommodation with their guardian (tent, glamping, camper, or private cottage) – not in shared accommodation with other students. Kids under 10 eat and stay for free. Kids 11 and over are charged for food and accommodation at New Member pricing, with a 20% discount. Attentive kids are welcome to join Breathcamp at the discretion of the trainer and facilitator of each session. Reach out to info@asha.global for more information, and to receive a special 20% coupon code. This offer applies for each kid in a family.

Together, let’s protect a safe space for everyone.
