Meditation, yoga, locally grown organic food, chianti, guided tour on donkey, and lazying in the nearby hot roman springs are just all part of your weekly activities.
Ebbio is 11km from Sienna, 42 kms from Florence and only 1 km from the local medieval town of Monteriggioni. Click here for map.
Local roman spa baths:
Your 3 meals a day are all vegetarian and mostly organic picked from the owners of Ebbio’s own garden. In true Italian style coffee and chianti are served all day long. Ebbio is filled with lots of friendly Tuscan animals, horses, geese, owls, chickens, cats and donkeys, all adding to the Tuscan atmosphere.
Daily “rejuvenation sessions” are held in the fabulous yoga/meditation space, which you can see in the picture below. Carole’s blissful sessions include different styles of meditation, individual reiki, the healing power of mantra’s, sound therapy, yogic breathing, hand yoga, chanting and yoga nidra.
Carole will also be dowsing your chakra’s for any imbalances, and be supporting you with Australian bush flower essences and chakra oils.

Heather Colmanon 28 Jul 2008 at 3:17 pm 1Hi Carole,
Nice of you to offer free exposure on your site. I’d be happy to take you up on your offer. What can I do for you in exchange?
all good things…
Heather
Cynthia Benjaminon 01 Aug 2008 at 5:57 am 2Just stumbled across your wonderful site; I already love it and can’t wait to come back. The monthly give a way is a really great idea.
Kirstyon 29 Aug 2008 at 2:58 pm 3is there such thing as sanity in this day and age? I would love to learn some secrets to get some back in my life, especiallywith balancing work and family life. However Carole, i must say i love the rejuvenation lounge and i have visited it daily since i discovered it. For some reason it calms me.
Denise Pinardon 07 Oct 2008 at 5:24 am 4Hi Carole, I hope I’m in the right spot. Jennifer Jeffries is great. I subscribe to her newsletter also (from having found out about her from your website) and it has a lot of common sense and easy to do things.
I’m always amazed as to the books and products you find for your giveaways. Eye pillow….mmmm…lavender….What a nice idea for stockings stuffers for Christmas. I know, I know, who wants to think about that, I realize it is early, but you have given me a wonderfull idea. I could even use fleece (it can get pretty cold here in the winter. It can go down to -40C). Well I guess I shall dust my old sewing machine, I can feel the hamster wheel in brain starting to turn…. Have a great week.

Anja Monnieron 07 Oct 2008 at 7:31 am 5I never miss reading your wonderfully soothing and nourishing articles in the Rejuvenation Lounge, and regularly pass relevant articles on to very grateful family and friends. I am implementing many of your ideas and suggestions into my life, with fabulous results. ( I feel I am turning into a beautiful, calm goddess as we speak - not bad, when you’re on the “wrong” side of 50.) As for the eye pillows - how utterly divine!
LMon 09 Oct 2008 at 6:51 am 6I am learning to take time out for “me” and enjoy recieving the positive energy that radiates from the screen when I visit your site. Currently my Yin/Yang energy flow is out of balance, but with your hints and a divine acupuncturist I’m realising that in order for me to help others I must put myself first some of the time!!!
Eyes are often taken for granted, but as I use a computer all day in a dry stuffy office, I can think of a better treat than to rest them with an eye pillow.
Namaste
cynthiaon 24 Oct 2008 at 5:48 am 7Carole,

Jamila Norrison 27 Oct 2008 at 11:54 am 8Thanks for a chance!
Nicoleon 30 Oct 2008 at 5:15 am 9Thank you for the awesome tips on relaxation. I always enjoy the end of my yoga class because that’s when we lay down, quiet our minds, and relax. Depending on what I need to do that evening, it either relaxes or rejuvenates me.
Cheers!

Cherieon 10 Feb 2009 at 10:41 pm 12Hi Carole,
I simply love coming back to the ‘Rejuvenation Lounge.’
Thanx for the great tips, I’ve been sharing them with the girls at work..and the office seems surprisingly calmer….Ah!
You’ve also encouraged me to rejoove at home, space clearing, luxurious baths & bigger breathes…plus Ruby (8) is mighty partial to the odd “OM” chant…which centres her just nicely.
I’ve heard of T5T and would love to learn it…maybe you could include it in your future(to be) newsletter….
Love
Cherie
Geoon 02 Mar 2009 at 3:47 am 13Great website, great motivation being offered, great mindset presented. I am interested in the free offer. I haven’t done anything “tibetan” as of yet but always open to anything that helps to improve one’s quality of life and awareness.
Peace, Geo

Love n Joy

Clare Chapmanon 18 Mar 2009 at 5:49 pm 16Hi Carole,
What a wonderful article! I especially love (and already use) the technique for ‘pouring’ out all my thoughts before bed as I tend to have a very busy mind (don’t we all!)’
Also loved the reference to Christiane Northrup - she is such an inspiration to all women.
Look forward to reading more - great blog!
From a Fellow twitterer,
Clare
