In 2025, our writing series reached new heights with an extraordinary workshop led by two acclaimed authors from Quebec, Canada. Now, in 2026, the story continues—more daring, more inspired. Two new creative writing workshops await.

Canadian publisher and award-winning author Michael Mirolla of Guernica Editions invites us to Killing the Beast—an unflinching exploration of what it truly takes to write with power and get published. From Ireland, Mary Berkery leads The Story Within, a deeply reflective journey through nature, mythology, and the landscapes of our own souls.

And for the first time, we open the doors to our Visual Arts Workshops—an exciting new chapter—guided by the celebrated Italian-Canadian painter Christopher Webb, who will illuminate the art of Landscape Oil Painting.

Set against the sunlit beauty of Vasto, on Italy’s Adriatic Coast, these immersive experiences offer not just instruction, but transformation—where creativity meets place, and inspiration finds its home.
