With personalize training, you will experience how the restorative properties of the InFocus program naturally heal the brain and body with dopamine and oxytocin hormones in a non-invasive way.

Ponza, Italy, the location of our retreat, is a magnificent island situated in the Mediterranean Sea just South of Rome and North of Capri.
This beautiful island was once a Roman emperor’s vacation home and is beloved by many for its spectacular views, ocean breezes and clear waters.
Upon arrival at Rome Fiumicino Airport on the morning of July 9th, our drivers will be waiting to accompany you to the little port of Anzio, one hour South of Rome.
In Anzio, we will take a scenic hovercraft ferry ride for one hour to the island of Ponza. The hotel is about a three minute taxi ride from the port.
Fresh mediterranean cuisine is on the menu for the entire stay.
Prepared by our local Italian friends Cristiano and Luisa at Acqua e Farina and by the expert chefs at Santa Domitilla.
We will also enjoy a candle-lit dinner in a sea grotto restaurant, reachable exclusively by boat, where we will have a locally prepared, exquisite dinner in a unique island setting.
Food has never felt more refreshing!
