The Dojo Bianco Immersion · A bespoke stay
Five days,made entirelyfor you.
For five days the hotel closes to everyone else and opens for one guest or one couple. Nothing is taken from a menu. Every day is shaped around you: your history, what you have come for, the season, the weather, the food and the people you are.
There is no one you are required to become.

How it unfolds
Bespoke from the first conversation.
- BeforeA first conversation
You tell us what is bringing you. We tell you how we work and share the fee. Together we decide whether this is right.
- BeforeQuestionnaire and orientation
A questionnaire and a call, so the days can be shaped around your history and your readiness.
- BeforeTwo preparation sessions
Online, in the weeks before you travel. We map what is bringing you and what you want these days to be for.
- At Dojo BiancoFive days
Arrival, three full days of work, departure. No other guests.
- AfterFour integration sessions
Online, in the months after you leave, so what began here can be practised in ordinary life.
The five days
A rhythm, not a timetable.
No two Immersions are the same. The shape below stays; what fills it is decided around you, often on the day.
We meet you at the door.
You arrive in the afternoon and settle into the house and the land. The first evening is for arriving, a long dinner, and sleep.
Three full days of work.
Time with the horses, somatic work and expressive arts, in the order and measure that suit you. Between sessions, meals, walks, the pool and long pauses. Rest is part of the work.
A slow last morning.
Breakfast, a last walk across the land, lunch, and time to say goodbye to the horses before you leave in the afternoon. The integration sessions follow in the weeks ahead.
“Their approach was highly emergent and therefore I sensed that every intervention came at the exact right time for me.”Mieke
How we work
Our own work, created by us.
The Immersion draws on horse work, somatic work in the Barbara Brennan lineage and expressive arts. It moves through four interconnected dimensions. They are not stages to complete in order; each day may touch all four.

The stay
Everything is included.
Everything below is part of your stay. The only thing not included is your flight. We collect you from Rome, Pisa, Florence or Grosseto and bring you back.
The whole house
Four rooms in the old stone farmhouse, each with its own entrance and no televisions. During your stay, the house is kept for you alone.
The kitchen
Chef Cristiano Rapezzi cooks for you alone, with what grows here and nearby and with the IGP olive oil from our own trees.
Our three horses
The work with them happens on the ground. No riding and no experience needed.
Twenty hectares
Olive groves, paddocks, vines, a pool and a clay tennis court, and a great deal of quiet.
For the body
Yoga and breathwork with Yogi Roberto, and massage, arranged around your days.
Getting here
Grosseto is 35 minutes away and takes private aircraft. Pisa is about an hour and a half, Florence about two hours, Rome about two and a half. Private transfers are included. We help you plan the journey.
For couples
Two journeys, side by side.
When a couple comes, each of you has your own process, running in parallel, and there are shared sessions where you work together. Couples often come to understand what happens between them, or to find where they want to go next together.
Dates and fee
A limited number of dates each year.
The Immersion runs on set dates through the year. Because the hotel closes for each guest, there are only a few each season.
There is one standard fee for the stay, not per person. Everything is included except your flights, including private transfers from Rome, Pisa, Florence or Grosseto in both directions. We share the fee in our first conversation. Dates are limited and usually arranged some months ahead.
“Our stay has had a lasting impact on our relationship as we begin a new chapter together.”Couples Immersion
Questions
Before you write to us.
Can I bring someone with me?
The Immersion is for one guest or one couple. We don't host companions alongside it, so that the whole house can be given to the work.
Do I have to work with the horses?
No. The horses are one possible doorway, never a required part of the work.
Can we come as a couple?
Yes. Both of you are participants, with your own processes running in parallel and shared sessions together. The Immersion is not for bringing someone else to be worked on.
What about confidentiality?
We never name our guests, and there is no group, no photographs and no publicity. Household staff work under the same confidentiality, and a mutual confidentiality agreement is available on request.
Is it medical treatment?
No. The Immersion is a private personal-development stay. It is not medical or psychiatric care and does not replace clinical treatment.
Do I need experience with horses?
No. Nothing is ridden, the work happens on the ground and at your pace, and many guests have never stood next to a horse before.
How do I prepare?
After our first conversation you receive a short questionnaire and we arrange an orientation call. The two preparation sessions follow before you travel.
