Datu Wellness

The way we connect with others often begins with the way we connect with ourselves.

This autumn, we are welcoming Nadja von Saldern to Datu Wellness.

Our inner wellbeing shapes more than how we feel.
It also shapes how we listen, communicate, respond and connect with the people around us.

When life becomes quieter and we have space to reconnect with ourselves, we can often see our relationships differently too. Patterns become clearer.
Conversations feel more open. And there is more room to understand what we need, both for ourselves and from one another.

From 19th October to 4th November, couples and individual therapist, author and communication coach Nadja von Saldern will join us at Palazzo Belmonte.

During her stay, Nadja will host talks and group conversations around communication, needs, personal freedom and navigating conflict. Guests will also have the opportunity to book one of a limited number of private sessions with her.

A little more space to understand ourselves.
And perhaps, through that, each other 🫶🏻

There is something wonderful about creating without thinking too much.

It’s fun. A chance to play, experiment and enjoy making something with your own hands.
No pressure to perform, no expectations, just seeing where it takes you.

Sometimes, our creativity surprises us. You never know what is under the surface.

Perhaps that is why our art classes have become such a loved part of DATU. 🎨

For the first time, join Tulku Lobsang • Tibetan Buddhist Master for an intimate four day residence Datu Wellness in Southern Italy - overlooking the Amalfi coast 🍋

From 17 to 20 November, a small group will come together to spend these days closely guided by Rinpoche, with time not only to experience his teachings, but to practise, ask questions and share moments together.

Through Tummo Fire Breathing and Dzogchen Meditation, there will be space to go deeper, while the intimate setting allows for something increasingly rare: real proximity to a teacher and his wisdom.

Your stay includes three nights at DATU, daily movement practices, nourishing full board and plenty of time to rest, connect and simply be between sessions.

Come for the teachings. Stay for what unfolds in between 💫

What if you gave yourself six days with less noise?
Less distraction. Less rushing. More time to notice how you actually feel.

This October, we are bringing DATU to Eremito Hotel • Contemporary Hermitage in Umbria for an intimate meditation retreat shaped around stillness, gentle movement, nourishing food and daily treatments.
No previous meditation or retreat experience is needed. Just a willingness to slow down.

Perhaps this is your time to go a little quieter.
To make fewer decisions. To have nowhere else to be. To let someone else take care of the details for a while.
Because sometimes what we need is surprisingly simple: time, attention, good food, meaningful conversations and the feeling of being cared for.

For six days at Eremito, there is very little you need to do.
Simply come as you are.
We will take care of the rest.

„the wound is the place where the light enters you“ ~ Rumi 💫

A beautiful reminder that the places within us that feel tender, uncertain or even broken are not always something to hide or immediately repair.

Sometimes they are openings & little more light comes in 💫

Difficult experiences can make us pause.
There can be a silver lining in the moments that shift us.
They can change our perspective, soften the way we see and bring our attention back to what truly matters.
It simply reminds us that something meaningful can grow from what we go through.

Perhaps healing is not always about returning to who we were before.
Perhaps sometimes it is about discovering who we are becoming. ✨

Our temporary home in Southern Italy. 🌿

This autumn, we return to Palazzo Belmonte for four weeks of DATU Ayurveda retreats. And we are happy to share that our spring 2027 dates are now open too.

Autumn 2026: 19 October to 23 November
Spring 2027: 2 April to 28 April

We first arrived here this spring, and somewhere between the sea, the gardens, our morning practices and evenings spent together, the Palazzo began to feel a little like home.

Perhaps that is what makes a place special. Not only how beautiful it is, but how it makes you feel while you are there.

For a week, life becomes simpler. Your days are gently held by a rhythm of Ayurveda, personalised treatments, yoga, meditation, nourishing seasonal food and time to rest. There is space to be on your own when you need it, and a community around you when you want connection.

No need to arrive as anything other than yourself. No previous experience with Ayurveda or retreats is needed. Just a little time, and perhaps the feeling that you are ready to slow down, reconnect and return to yourself.

We cannot wait to see who will call our temporary home their home this autumn and next spring 💫
