HOLISTIC FERTILITY RETREAT
Supporting women on the path to motherhood – where emotional healing reopens the door to hope and new life.
Join us for a nurturing fertility retreat for women who long to welcome a baby into their lives.
The journey toward motherhood is often imagined as a joyful and natural step in life. Yet when pregnancy does not happen as hoped, it can become a deeply emotional and stressful experience. While medical approaches focus primarily on the physical body, our inner world — our emotions, beliefs, and life experiences — can also play an important role in how safe and ready the body feels to conceive.
I am Nóra Hormay, a spiritual healer, coach, and teacher with over 12 years of experience in emotional healing. I have also worked in a holistic fertility center and continue to support women through one-to-one sessions on their fertility journey. Through this work, I have seen how profoundly our emotional world and subconscious patterns can influence the body’s readiness to welcome new life.
Over 7 days and 6 nights, this retreat offers a gentle space for healing and renewal, guiding you back to openness, trust, and connection with yourself in a small, intimate group of up to 7 women.
During the retreat we gently explore and release emotional blocks, limiting subconscious beliefs, and inherited family patterns, imbalance in the masculine and feminine roles, that may create tension around fertility. As these layers begin to soften, space can open for new possibilities, renewed hope, and a deeper connection with your body. The intention is not to “force” change, but to soften the pressure that often surrounds trying to conceive and to create a more open, trusting inner landscape and positive mindset.
Mornings are devoted to gentle inner work. Through guided practises, energetic cleansing, movement, breathwork, and meditation, we explore and release emotional blocks that may be affecting fertility in a supportive and safe environment.
Afternoons are dedicated to joy, lightness, connection, and experiencing the beauty of sacred, medieval Assisi. Together we will slow down and enjoy simple pleasures such as exploring Assisi, gentle hikes on Mount Subasio, olive oil tasting, learning to make traditional Italian pasta, shared meals, and a surprise day trip to a place of natural beauty. These moments of lightness are an important part of the journey, helping you reconnect with joy, creativity, and the natural rhythm of life.
This retreat welcomes women at any stage of their fertility journey — whether you are just beginning or have been trying for years. No prior spiritual experience is needed, only an open heart. Opportunities for one-to-one sessions will also be available during the week.
Our home for the week is a beautiful historic villa on Mount Subasio, outside Assisi. Surrounded by olive groves and nature, Sant’Angelo in Panzo offers a peaceful sanctuary of new beginnings — a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and your deeper longing for new life while being held in a safe and nurturing space for transformation.
You will leave not only with new insights and emotional shifts, but also with the memory of having spent time in a truly nurturing environment — surrounded by nature, beauty, and supportive women walking a similar path.
This program is a co-creation of Mystic Travel and Sant’Angelo in Panzo.
Next one coming up at the end of Aug. Soon to be announced.

NEXT FERTILITY RETREAT
VENUE – SANT’ANGELO DI PANZO
Our home for the week is a beautiful historic villa on Mount Subasio, just outside the ancient walls of sacred Assisi. Sant’Angelo in Panzo is a remarkable historic hillside villa surrounded by ancient olive groves, where time seems to slow down.
This enchanting Italian residence offers breathtaking mountain views and tranquil gardens, inviting the participants to experience the atmosphere of a bygone era. The villa has lovingly preserved its original character and traditional style, reflecting the grace and heritage of noble Italian family life.
Rather than modern minimalism, you’ll find authentic charm, timeless elegance, and a rare opportunity to step into living history of a 1000 years — a place where every room tells a story, having transformed from a convent where St Clare lived for a short while, into a hermitage and then a beautiful family residence.
Sant’Angelo in Panzo offers a peaceful sanctuary of new beginnings – a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and your deeper longing for new life while being held in a safe and nurturing space for transformation.
The meals will be lovingly prepared by two wonderful local cooks who specialize in traditional, nourishing cuisine. Expect wholesome dishes such as pasta, rice, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and delicious homemade desserts. To support the smooth flow of the retreat, we kindly ask that participants do not have severe allergies and dietary restrictions.
Please note that the villa is not a 5-star hotel, but a charming, family-owned home offering a unique and intimate experience. While every effort is made to accommodate guests with care, not all individual requests can always be fulfilled. Thank you for your understanding and openness to a more authentic, homely stay.

Along the way, you will be gently supported in finding peace with your journey, learning to walk this path with greater trust, softness, and self-acceptance, and embracing yourself fully, whatever unfolds.
