Wellness, Art and Terroir — Curated into a Winter Retreat.
Imagine stepping away from the acceleration of the year into a place where winter quiets the outside world, the body warms, and clarity returns.
Over three days at Le Marne Relais, Luminae Retreats invites you to Release & Ignite — a cultural wellbeing experience where meditation, movement, art, nature, food, wine and local rituals become one refi ned journey of renewal.
Set among the vineyards of Piedmont, the retreat brings together yoga, meditation, warm sound baths and conscious nutrition with conversations around art and a Mura Mura wine tasting.
In winter, nature lets go. The vineyards rest, the landscape becomes bare, and what is essential remains. This is the heart of the experience: releasing what feels heavy, restoring warmth and energy in the body, and rekindling a clearer inner direction.
Designed as a pre-festive detox for a maximum of 10 guests, Release & Ignite is an intimate winter retreat where quiet luxury meets inner fi re — to return home lighter, stronger, warmer and more aligned with one’s direction.

Experience & Offerings
The retreat is limited to 10 people to preserve privacy & depth.
Each day builds naturally on the one before it: Release → Ignite → Embody
The Experience includes:
- 2 nights of accommodation at Le Marne Relais, part of Small Luxury Hotels.
- Full-board winter nourishment: daily breakfast, balanced lunches, chef-curated dinners and a fi nal community lunch at Radici restaurant.
- Daily yoga and meditation sessions led by certifi ed teachers.
- Yoga sequences designed to develop focus, strength and resilience.
- Guided sauna meditations: short heat-based practices for release, presence and breath awareness.
- Warm sound baths, deep gong meditation and evening practices for deep rest.
- Winter hydration rituals with herbal infusions and moments dedicated to recovery.
- Access to wellness facilities: spa, sauna, Technogym gym, pool and relaxation spaces.
- Fireside Art Chat with an artist: an intimate conversation on transformation, creativity and direction.
- Private winery visit and tasting at the Mura Mura estate.
- Moments of connection between mind and body in nature, including vineyard walks and a closing meditation.
The culinary experience is developed in collaboration with biologist and nutritionist Martina Giraudo, Chef Mykyta Bida and the Radici team.
The retreat is guided by Luminae Retreats founders Carola Cometto and Roberto Patella.
