live the f**k It Life
The best holiday I have ever been on. I loved the fact that you can come alone and immediately feel at ease.

2012
John & Gaia say F**k It to running their own retreat and establish 'F**k It Retreats', doing what they love the most - teaching their F**k It philosophy in spectacular locations in Italy.
We're happy - no, F**k It, let's tell it how it is - we're jumping up and down with excitement about our new venture, F**k It Retreats.
Yes, we're taking the best of what we were doing at The Hill That Breathes (the retreat we were running and still our home) to other spectacular locations in Italy, including a luxurious estate & spa near Urbino (and The Hill) and on a volcanic island near Sicily.
So you can do our famous F**k It Weeks, or Gaia’s Magic Weeks, or experience the masterly genius of Barefoot Doctor and Karl Grunick in amazing new places.
Even our sons are excited - watch them in our hot new F**k It Retreats video -
One of the reasons we're doing F**k It Retreats in other locations is that the F**k It weeks have been so unbelievably popular at The Hill. So a) we want to concentrate on teaching more of them, rather than running a retreat centre, and b) we want to offer those who've been before some exciting new locations.
To give you an idea of how popular: most F**k It weeks in 2011 (and we ran 8 altogether) sold out months in advance and we had to turn away, on average, 30 people from each week because we were full.
Maybe you've read the book (150,000 have).
Maybe you've seen the video on YouTube (325,000 have). Maybe you're a fan on Facebook (35,000 are). But you like the idea of F**k It.
Well, F**k It Retreats is a way to experience the F**k It thing in an amazing place with the authors of the F**k It books, John & Gaia, and other great teachers.
And this F**k It site will also soon include signed F**k It books, F**k It chocolate and other F**k It goodies
Hi, lovely to see you again. We've had many people over the years returning to do more F**k It weeks, but there's an even bigger reason now to experience all that loveliness again… as we're running the weeks in spectacular locations. Do you fancy The Hill feel, but in a new luxurious setting? Then come back and see in Urbino. Or do you prefer the adventure of doing Qigong on a live volcano? If so, then Stromboli is for you.
Whatever you decide, because you've been before you're a member of The F**k It Family, so you get some juicy extras when you come on a F**k It Retreat.
If you've visited The Hill for yoga, or for one of our Masters, then we've probably met you. Hi again. Many of those who have come for a F**k It Retreat have previously done yoga (or something else) at The Hill.
And the good news too is that our favourite masters - Barefoot Doctor and 
Karl Grunick - are going to be running their own wonderful weeks as part of F**k It Retreats.
Hi. If you speak English, even if you're not entirely fluent, you'll be in great company on a F**k It Retreat.
Since 2010 there have been more people on F**k It Weeks whose mother tongue is not English than those from the UK, USA, etc. They've usually come to the F**k It thing through the book (it is available in 18 languages now), and the international mix of each week adds to the pleasure of the whole thing.
John will guide you in how to live a F**k It Life in a session at the Mind Body Spirit festival in London on Saturday 2nd June.
