What We
Hold
Diamond Rose is an intimate retreat space on the Connecticut coastline — created as a refuge for healing, presence, and reconnection.
Where the trees meet the water, the sanctuary was envisioned as a place where time softens and the pace of modern life begins to slow. Here, space is not merely architectural — it is intentional. Light, land, and silence become part of the experience, gently inviting you back to yourself.
Tides shift. Light changes. Seasons reorient the body. The natural world becomes a quiet guide, inviting presence without force.
The House
That Holds
More than a century old, this home stands at the meeting point of land and water — rooted in history, yet open to transformation. Once a private residence, it has been thoughtfully reimagined as a sanctuary for collective presence. Each space has been intentionally shaped to support different states of being — a light-filled room for meditation, yoga, and breathwork, and a kitchen that naturally gathers conversation and connection.
Each space has been shaped to support different states of being. A wide room for ceremony and breath. Corners for solitude and reflection. A kitchen that gathers conversation. Porches that open to wind and salt air. Movement between inside and outside is seamless — as healing rarely happens in isolation from nature.
What
Unfolds
Here
Within these walls, gatherings are not structured as performances or programs, but as intentional containers for presence. Each retreat is shaped around a rhythm of depth and integration — moments of collective activation balanced with time for reflection and grounding. The work unfolds through breath, sound, ceremony, and shared stillness, allowing participants to access what is often held beneath language and habit.
Conscious, connected breathing becomes a doorway into the body’s stored memory. Through guided somatic practice, participants are invited to release tension held beneath language and restore the nervous system’s natural capacity for regulation and resilience.
Vibration shifts perception and softens resistance. Through sound journeys and tonal resonance, the body is supported in moving from contraction toward coherence — creating space for clarity, emotional integration, and expanded awareness.
Structured ritual provides containment. It marks transition, anchors intention, and allows transformation to be witnessed rather than rushed. Within ceremony, experience becomes meaningful rather than overwhelming.
Healing does not end at the peak moment. Time is intentionally woven into each gathering for reflection, conversation, and grounding — allowing insight to settle into the body before returning to daily life.
The One Who Holds the Space
Diamond Rose is guided by Vivian Rosenthal — Co-Founder of Frequency Breathwork and steward of this sanctuary.
For more than a decade, Vivian has facilitated therapeutic breathwork for thousands of individuals, weaving together somatic awareness, Kundalini yoga, energy medicine, and sound into grounded, embodied practice. Her work centers on a simple principle: that healing is not imposed from outside, but awakened from within.
With a background in architecture and immersive design, Vivian has long explored how physical space shapes psychological experience. Her graduate research at Columbia University examined how environments influence emotional states — an inquiry that continues to inform how Diamond Rose is shaped and held today.
Come and Stay Above the Sea
Come as two, for a weekend or a season. Terrazza Dimora Chiantera offers the rare pleasure of a refined home in the heart of Polignano a Mare — steps from the water, wrapped in stone, made for unhurried days on the terrace.
