DBI Program

Our Approach

The D.B.I experience integrates powerful combination of:

Horse Therapy

Working with horses quickly builds awareness of one’s energetic presence and has proven physiological benefits, including reduced stress, lower heart rate and blood pressure, increased endorphins, and enhanced trust, empowerment, and emotional well-being.

Somatic Healing Scince

Transformation happens through the body — there is no separation between body and self. Our somatic healing approach awakens what longs to come alive, creating lasting change and deeper connection to inner vitality. It draws from the methodologies of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and the Strozzi Institute.

Expressive Art Therapy

Expressive Arts is rooted in the belief that imagination is the healer, giving voice to the soul and transforming what’s hidden into light and insight. Based on “low skill – high sensitivity,” it uses simple forms like painting, poetry, movement, and storytelling to awaken the senses, access inner resources, and bridge the present with the world of imagination.

Dojo Bianco Immersion is for those who feel called to step out of the noise of daily life and return to what is essential. It’s for people who long to reconnect—with themselves, with nature, and with the deeper rhythm of life.

This program is for you if

You are feeling emotionally depleted, burnt out, or disconnected
You are moving through a life transition—such as divorce, grief, career shift, or spiritual awakening
You are at a threshold—ready to begin again, but unsure of the next step
You desire to shed the masks and express your true, unfiltered self
You want to deepen your connection to your body and listen to its inner guidance
You sense that your old patterns and beliefs no longer serve you
You long for a space that is quiet, sacred, and held—with no pressure to perform
You want to reconnect to nature, intuition, and your inner knowing
You feel called to do deep inner work—safely, gently, and in your own timing

Whether you come seeking clarity, healing, inspiration, or rest, this program offers a space where your journey is fully honored. DBI welcomes individuals, couples, and small groups who are ready to walk a more conscious, embodied, and soul-connected path

Program Structure

A 4-day immersive experience curated for depth, clarity, and reconnection — each day invites a new layer to unfold.

Day 1 – Arrival & Grounding

Welcome and settle into the space. Gentle movement, stillness, and connection with nature support your arrival into the body and the land.

Day 2 – Exploration

Somatic, creative, and therapeutic practices invite you to listen to what is ready to be seen, felt, and expressed. Spacious integration time is woven throughout.

Day 3 – Integration

Deep rest and reflection. With grounded

D.B.I is an intensive immersion lasting 3 to 5 days, held in the heart of Tuscany. Surrounded by nature’s beauty and rhythm, you’ll partner with the land, the horses, and the subtle energies that support your personal journey.

Each program is fully personalized and begins with a questionnaire and orientation call to align with your intentions. The structure may shift to respond to what emerges during your process, but typically includes:

• Morning wake-up practice (30 minutes before breakfast)
• Morning session (2 hours)
• Afternoon session (2 hours)
• Evening integration (30 minutes)

Modalities may include meditation, yoga, sound therapy, hands-on healing, somatic practices, and horse liberty work.

D.B.I is offered to individuals, couples, or small groups (up to 4 participants from the same family or team). All meals are vegetarian or pescatarian, and nourishing coffee/tea breaks are included.

Expressive Arts: A Path to the Soul

The human journey is, at its core, a quest to remember who we truly are. While our outward personality may appear fixed, it is constantly evolving. Beneath it lies a deeper truth.
Through the language of Expressive Arts, we explore the inner landscape—where images, sensations, and emotions become gateways to the unconscious. Guided by the principle of “low skill, high sensitivity”, we bypass the mind and allow the soul to speak.
There is no agenda—only a willingness to look within. In this space of trust, we encounter a fuller, freer version of ourselves—rich with untapped resources, creativity, and clarity.

D.B.I is more than a retreat—it is a return to the essence of being human.
A deep listening.
A sacred encounter.
A homecoming.

F.A.Q

What exactly happens during a DBI immersion?

Each immersion is highly personalized based on your needs. A typical day includes morning and afternoon sessions involving somatic work, expressive arts, nature-based practices, and horse liberty work. You’ll also be guided through meditations, body-based awareness practices, hands-on healing, and moments of deep rest and reflection.

I’ve never worked with horses before. Do I need experience?

Not at all. All our horse work happens on the ground—there is no riding involved. The horses are wise, sensitive co-facilitators who mirror emotional states and support deep presence and connection. Many participants find this to be one of the most moving parts of the immersion.

What if I don’t consider myself ‘spiritual’?

This program welcomes all belief systems. You do not need to be spiritual, artistic, or have any prior experience. What matters most is your openness to engage with your inner world and a willingness to be present with what emerges.

How do I know if I’m ready for this kind of work?

If something in you feels called to pause, reset, or go deeper—even if you don’t know exactly why—you’re likely ready. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. This work is for anyone standing at a threshold in life or longing for meaningful change.

Can I come with my partner, family member, or friend?

Yes. DBI immersions are available for individuals, couples, and small groups (up to 4 people). If you’re coming with someone else, we’ll tailor the experience to support both your individual journeys and your shared intentions.

Is this therapy?

No, DBI is not psychotherapy. While it may be deeply therapeutic, it is a transformational and somatic coaching-based experience that integrates healing modalities, but it does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Many participants find it beautifully complementary to their personal therapy or coaching work.

What is included in the program fee?

The program fee includes:

All personalized sessions and practices
Pre-immersion orientation call and post-immersion integration suggestion
Accommodation at Dojo Bianco
Nourishing pescatarian/vegetarian meals and refreshments

Travel is not included.

How do I apply?

Each immersion begins with a brief application questionnaire followed by a discovery call. This helps us understand your needs and ensure DBI is the right fit for you. From there, we’ll design your personalized program and confirm your dates.

Where is Dojo Bianco located?

Dojo Bianco is nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy. Surrounded by olive groves, ancient oak trees, and open skies, it offers a peaceful and powerful container for deep work.

What should I bring with me?

Comfortable clothes for movement and time outdoors, a journal, and an open heart. Once your immersion is confirmed, we’ll send you a full welcome guide with practical packing tips.

Facilitators of DBI Program

“Ceren and Giulio are a remarkable team. Their immersive approaches, enriching coaching conversations, and deep integration work created a truly transformative journey that helped ‘unstick me’ — building self-awareness and bringing clarity I could immediately apply to my personal and professional life.”

“The serene hills of Tuscany provided the perfect space to slow down, reflect, and grow. I left inspired, rejuvenated, and with a renewed sense of purpose. I wholeheartedly recommend the DBI Program to anyone seeking meaningful transformation.”

“My 13 year old daughter and I decided to escape on a father-daughter get away. I was looking for a vacation where we could do some bonding as well as an opportunity to connect with nature and our souls.”

“Dojo Bianco ended up being the perfect destination for us. My daughter and I had plenty of bonding opportunities while meditating, working with horses, and the numerous processes we went through together. The walks we took in the beautiful landscape of Dojo Bianco and our gracious hosts creating the perfect home setting ensured that we could truly relax and feed our souls.”

“The healing sessions with Ceren were particularly helpful with my daughter's health concerns, while helping me to find my center again amid the work-related stresses I had. I'm so grateful to Ceren and Giulio for welcoming us to Dojo Bianco where we had one of the best experiences ever — much, much more than just a vacation.”

“I’ll always remember Ceren’s wise words the day I arrived — allowing me time to just ‘arrive and land’ after having travelled so long to get there. The yoga and healing sessions made a lasting impression on me and encouraged such positive new habits that felt natural.”

“Magic. Real life magic.”

“For my wife’s 40th birthday, I surprised her with an immersive DBI experience. Even the most loving relationships collect emotional dust — small hurts, unspoken truths. Giulio and Ceren helped us lift those layers.”

“Their intuition is astonishing. In just a few days, my wife and I looked into each other’s eyes with more love, respect, and understanding than ever before. This experience is beyond explanation — it can only be lived.”

“Forever we’ll hold Dojo Bianco in our hearts. Thank you for your wisdom, kindness, and healing presence.”
