TESTIMONIALS FOR DA VINCI CAPERS

Da Vinci Capers is the perfect respite. A week that creates conducive conditions to bring your artistic and scientific sides, your right brain and left brain, and your intuitive and rational aspects back in balance. Besides being a feast for the psyche, the sensual, taste, texture, sight and hearing are all stimulated to an extraordinary degree.

It’s not about Leonardo! It’s about you and your life. It’s about taking some new risks and waking up. It’s about slowing down so that you can speed up with passion. If ever you’ve wanted to stop, review your life and get some new energy and perspective, this is a fabulous way to do it.

For me, the most special part of Da Vinci Capers was the luxury of returning to a youthful state of mind, free to experiment without fear of failure. I mean, a 40-something lawyer doing charcoal sketches of olive trees, ordering fresh produce in Italian, and chiseling away at a slab of marble?! It was a week when anything was possible.

— Jane Raskin, Miami, FL
