Dojo Bianco Immersion · 3–5 days · Tuscany
A one-to-one immersion shaped around one person at a time. Focused sessions sit inside the larger rhythm of the hotel — horses, movement, food, rest, the pool, the land and the space between sessions.
The immersion
DBI begins with listening: what is happening now, what keeps repeating, what has become difficult to move alone, and what needs a different kind of attention. The work is then shaped around what is actually useful for the person who arrives.
This is why the hotel matters. The room, meals, therapeutic work, horses, movement, rest and the natural rhythm of Dojo are not separate activities. Together they create enough continuity for meaningful work and enough space for it to settle.
What may be part of it
Conversation, relational work, somatic attention and energy-informed practice may come together according to what the process calls for.
The horses can bring relationship, boundary, presence and regulation into immediate experience without requiring performance or explanation.
Somatic movement, yoga, breath and embodied practices can support contact with sensation, pace and regulation.
Sound and creative practices may offer another route when words are not the most useful way in.
Meals, sleep, walking, the pool, quiet and time outside are not filler between sessions. They give the nervous system room to receive and integrate experience.
The rhythm
DBI usually unfolds over 3–5 days. There is a clear container, but no fixed conveyor of activities. Focused work and integration alternate, and what happens in one session can change what is needed next.
We begin by understanding what is present now rather than forcing a predetermined goal.
Different practices are brought in as they become relevant, with the pace continually adjusted to the person.
Space is protected for rest, reflection and for what has happened to become part of ordinary life rather than remain an intense moment at Dojo.
When people come
People come during transitions, when a familiar pattern has become difficult to shift, when an important decision carries unusual weight, after a period of depletion, or simply when they want enough continuity to work beyond insight and into lived experience.
The starting point does not need to be dramatic. It only needs to be real.
What stays with you
The older DBI language spoke about transformation. We now prefer something more grounded: insight matters when it can be felt, practised and lived differently after the stay.
A clearer view of the pattern, decision or transition that brought you here.
More language for what your body and nervous system are communicating beneath the story.
Simple grounding, movement and awareness practices that can continue in ordinary life.
The lived memory of what changes when there is enough time, space, food, sleep and contact with nature.
Greater awareness of automatic responses, limits and possibilities — so reaction does not have to be the only option.
A clearer sense of what needs to continue, what can be left behind and what requires support after Dojo.
Questions people ask
There is no fixed sequence of treatments. A DBI usually combines focused one-to-one sessions with time for integration, and may include horses, somatic work, movement, sound, creative process and healing practices. What is used depends on what is relevant for the person.
No. Horse work is always adapted to the person and does not require riding or previous experience.
No. No belief system is required. The work can be approached psychologically, somatically, relationally or experientially.
You do not need to arrive with a dramatic crisis or a perfectly defined goal. The first conversation is there to understand what is bringing you and whether an immersion is the right format now.
DBI is designed around one participant at a time. If you are travelling with someone else, tell us when you contact us and we can discuss what makes sense around the stay.
The immersion is therapeutic in nature and can include psychological, somatic and healing practices. It is not a medical programme and does not replace psychiatric, medical or emergency care.
The exact proposal is shared before booking and sets out the length of stay, accommodation, meals and the therapeutic work included, so the container is clear before you arrive.
Comfortable clothes for movement and time outdoors, shoes for the land, swimwear in season, and anything you normally use for writing or reflection. Practical details are sent before arrival.
Who you work with
Psychology · neuroscience · somatic & energy-informed practice
Ceren’s work brings together psychology, neuroscience, somatic attention, energy-informed practice and years of work with horses. In DBI she works relationally and experientially, following what is happening in the body as closely as what is being said.
Somatic coaching · embodied leadership · movement
Giulio works through somatic coaching, embodied leadership and movement. His attention is on how the body organises under pressure — posture, action, choice and the possibility of responding differently.
The immersion can draw on both of their work, with the balance shaped around the person rather than a preset division of sessions.
