Transition Accelerator Project explained
The Three Components
Programs
Programs are designed to take time out of routines, connect with ones essential self and move forward with confidence and fun, with a sense of support and purpose, in a posture of openness, gratitude and non attachment. They build self-leadership and collaboration skills in hybrid (on-line and in person) format.
Camps & Retreats
Camps are organised as intense days or week long programs where participants come together in person to expand themsevles and their capacities to be a force in the world. Participants are asked to actively contribute to create the experience, as each participant brings qualities that are enriching in one way or the other, but this is camp specific.
Workshops
The workshops take place in-person and are a great opportunity to meet other people from our community, to get inspired and have meaningful conversations. They can be anything in the spiritual, educational and social realm. Sign up for a workshop, intro zoom or for our monthly salons to get a “taste” of what society building is about.

2024 March
Transition Project Inception
Our journey began with a dream of bringing the world to Lucca and vice versa to regenerate hope with our talents and imagination. We acquired the property and started working with the environment, updating the retreat house and establishing Forest for Future (company sponosored tree planting of native species back into the ecosystem for carbon reduction).
2024 Full Year
Pilot program Launch
We established our retreat center and hosted monthly “salons” to gather ideas from the community. We invited women to participate in life design retreats. We hosted yoga sessions, and over 6 months accommodated 80 guests for half day and weekend experiences without a website and through word of mouth.
2025
Program Expansion
With growing demand, we expanded our programs and retreats, reaching new audiences, organizations and leaders under diverse themes such as: Ethical AI for Good, Conscious Consumption, Community Building, Advanced Trainings, Mind-Body-Spiritual Health and Nutrition.
Our 5 year Vision
Co Creating the Future
We hope to collaborate widely as a site and satellite for global programs and to encourage local residents to gather on the themes of human progress, livelihood, sustainability and conservation.
