A PILGRIMAGE TO AN ANCIENT ENERGETIC HOTSPOT

- VALLINGEGNO, ITALY -

Warning: Bold visions for your business, delivered in dangerously high doses. May cause sudden loss of excuses, heart-pounding excitement, and an almost-addictive urge to sit your ass down and make it happen, right here, right now. Proceed with caution (and don't forget to bring your laptop).

VALLEY OF GENIUS

VALLINGEGNO: A VALLEY STEEPED IN ANCIENT MAGIC - AND WIFI.

Oh, hello, dear! Let me introduce myself: I am called Genius. At least that's what the ancient Romans used to call me. They believed that every person, place, and thing has its own Genius - the individualized essence of divine energy. Personally (or should I say energetically, since I'm not, you know, a person?), I prefer terms like "true nature", or maybe "soul", or simply "inspiration".

At one point, they realized that I, the Genius of this valley, am uniquely powerful. This valley is charged with a special energy, like a direct line to creativity, inspiration, and the inner voice of all who come here. It's kind of an energetic hotspot that clears away fears and doubts faster than other places. In fact, they found me to be so powerful, they even built a temple here, over 2000 years ago, just for me.

Since then, this "Valle Ingenio" - later known as Vallingegno - has seen countless pilgrims in search for .... well, something. Something bigger, more meaningful. Something they can't explain, until they find it. And I deliver, every time.

THE ANCIENT PROCESS

Coming on this pilgrimage to meet me, Genius, means stepping into a sacred place. Every stone, tree, and path carries the energy of countless pilgrims and their insights. It's not just nature, it's nature with an oomph. And it will reach you in ways you cannot explain - just be open and let the magic begin!

This is the only picture on this page that was NOT taken at Suflora. Simply because we don't have any Bonsai here.

THE CLEANSING RITUAL

First things first: if you feel at all uncomfortable or simply don't wish to join a session - listen to that inner voice. That's the most important part of this pilgrimage!

But if you're open for it, each morning, my Priestess and I will guide you in letting go of frustration, control, and all those stories that have been holding you back.

It’s raw, real, and wild. You might find yourself screaming into the valley, scribbling down everything that needs releasing and then watching it burn, or just sitting in silence, letting the morning mist do the work for you. However it unfolds, this is your time to make space for what comes next.

THE DEEP LISTENING

Surrounded by ancient olive trees, you'll listen in a way you never have before.

My temple may be gone, but its energy still flows through this valley, and I’m here, whispering to you.

You’ll start hearing what your business has been trying to tell you for years – what it can be when you step back and let it reveal its true nature.

You’ll see your business in its fullest form, not limited by your past experiences or doubts. Suddenly, everything falls into place, and you can't help but create from that state.

REFINING THE VISION

In the evenings, you may choose to join our Genius Jam Sessions.

No stiff small talk, just raw, mind-encompassing conversations that make the air practically buzz with ideas. Here, you can safely test-drive your ideas and see how they land.

The space hums with excitement—you're surrounded by people who push you to explore, go bolder, and build something remarkable. It’s not about polite feedback; it's about the kind of discussions that leave you fired up and ready to create at your best.

It's pure, unfiltered energy, and I make sure you meet exactly who you need to meet. So, get ready—this isn’t your everyday gathering; this is where your vision catches fire.

THIS IS YOUR PILGRIMAGE, NOT SOME COOKIE-CUTTER RETREAT

You're not here to follow someone else's schedule. This pilgrimage is about you and what your business needs. You already know when and how long you need to be here - choose the dates that feel right for you. I certainly am not bound by calendars.

Once you decided, my current Priestess, Susanne, will reach out to see what you hope to gain and what's challenging you right now. Share what feels right, or don't - you're in charge here.

When you arrive, she'll already have listened to me, tuning into what you might need. Morning sessions are, as everything else, optional - and they are designed around you, sometimes with others, sometimes just for you. There might be rituals, practices, or challenges that push you through the blocks you didn't even know you had.

But remember, everything here is an offer, not an order. This valley isn't about sitting you in a circle, chanting kumbaya and wishing for things to change. This is a pilgrimage of action. To get you to see your business - and yourself - in ways you haven't dared to before. You're here to act on what you uncover, to bring that vision into reality. That's the deal. Stop playing small and start listening.

A SPACE TO MAKE SHIT HAPPEN.

LET ME SEE WHERE I'LL STAY

Are you ready to quit the boring normal? You'll know when you are. So close your eyes. Take a breath. Trust that I'll guide you to choose the right dates for your pilgrimage. And then click that button.

By the time you leave, you’re not carrying away inspiration. You’re leaving with something real, already moving, already in motion towards its fullest manifestation.

This is what this pilgrimage is about: taking the unmaterialized vision in its most audacious form, and bringing its material manifestation into this world. And in doing so, you’re not just transforming your business, you’re transforming yourself.

What Pilgrims Say

I've had this project in my head for two years, and never got around to tackling it.

During my week at Suflora, I was able to switch off from the noise and distractions and see the reason why it's been bugging me for so long. Now it's done, and I already see the effect.

Matthias Peper, CEO TP SOLUTION

With a full life next to a full job, I never found the space, let alone the time, to work on my novel.

At Suflora, I finally had the mental space to sit down and write. This space is inspiring beyond words, and Susanne is a great host, anticipating every need.

Nadine Steiner, soon-to-be published author

A job, a toddler, a husband, and a dog at home. The usual office chaos at work. And nowhere to turn for some peace and quiet, let alone some inspiration.

My husband and I organized my trip here like we do any of my business trips.

I got my slide deck for next week thought out and crafted beautifully, and unlike all the times before, I am actually looking forward to presenting it. I'm proud of what I managed to create here.
