THE HEART OF AWARENESS
WINTER RETREAT WITH SHAKTI CATERINA MAGGI
Presence, Perceptual Self-Inquiry and Embodied integration
Dec 31, 2026 – Jan 6, 2027 – Titignano Castle, Orvieto, Italy
English & Italian
A spiritual retreat rooted in non-duality — a space for satsang, meditation in movement, perceptual inquiry, and mantra — held by Shakti Caterina Maggi, a non-duality teacher.
Her teaching has quietly touched the hearts of thousands of seekers around the world. Rooted in Advaita Vedanta and non-dual Tantra, it brings the recognition of awareness into the fabric of ordinary life.
Through clear and direct experiential practices, we are invited to discover a way of living rooted in presence and inner clarity, allowing every day to become the ground of awakening to what is already true.
This retreat is an invitation to:
- Deepen the path of awakening through embodied self-inquiry
- Explore the interplay between stillness and movement, silence and relationship
- Recognize and rest in the ever-present awareness beyond thought
- Embrace the fullness of life through the clarity of the Heart
Whether you are new to the path or called to deepen an ongoing journey, this retreat offers a space to meet yourself honestly and to open to the living presence of Truth in every aspect of your humanity.
Shakti teaches directly in both English and Italian throughout the retreat.

"Best 9 days of my life.
I am just in love, is all. Falling deeper in love. And as I fall deeper, I fall through heart break after heart break. Heart break that is not devoid of love, rather full of love."
."
"Shakti has a powerful energy field of love which transmutes everything in love itself. I really appreciate how at times she draws from many traditions to illustrate her points and her willingness to show us the truth sometimes in the softest ways. Thank you so much"
"A powerful field that made my mind quiet. I realized layers of conditioning of my ego to a much deeper level, so that I could accept them. I found a new connection with my body as well, I feel now much more at ease with it. The sangha has trasmitted me a very pure love, very disinterested."
"I was surprised at how comfortable I felt, given that the teaching is so different from anything else I've encountered. Even though it was my first time, I felt right at home."
"It was so beautiful and intense. Shakti has a natural way of leading the retreat and she teaches in a very personal, clear, funny, straight forward and loving way. The teaching is given in just the right tempo and steps to understand and absorb and experience. The team is so loving and supporting! So thankful for this immense gift".
"Learning from Shakti during the last few years has been the most powerful and transformative gift of my life. Each reatreat is a jewel that opens up to ever-deepining layers of clarity, love and compassion "
