Chiara Salvini

I grew up in Tuscany, in my grandmother’s kitchen, where cooking was never just about food.She had a vegetable garden, animals, and a simple philosophy: nothing is wasted. Every ingredient carried effort, time and love. Meals were the center of family life, a moment where we gathered, shared stories, laughed, and reconnected.That’s where I learned that food is more than nourishment. It is presence, connection and love in action.Later, I trained and worked as a nurse. After facing leukemia, my perspective on healing changed deeply, and I became passionate about the connection between body, mind, emotions and nourishment.Today I combine my medical background, my personal healing journey, and my roots in traditional Italian cooking to create experiences around food that feel grounding, joyful and deeply nourishing.At the retreat, I invite you to slow down, cook together, share stories and rediscover the magic of a shared table.
