Achilles Costacurta Embarks on Silent Meditation Retreat in India
Achille Costacurta, son of Martina Colombari and Billy Costacurta, has announced a period of voluntary isolation with a 10-day meditation retreat in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India. He shared the news via social media, detailing the strict rules he will be adhering to during the retreat: no phone use, no speaking, no reading, no writing, no smoking, and a strictly vegetarian diet.
This retreat represents a deliberate disconnection from the digital world and a focus on introspection. Costacurta has been on a journey of self-discovery in recent weeks, previously traveling alone to Australia to attend the Australian Open.
His mother, Martina Colombari, recently expressed some worry about his month-long absence during an appearance on the Italian television program Verissimo, but also conveyed her trust in her son’s ability to navigate challenging situations.
Costacurta’s decision reflects a growing trend of individuals seeking intensive meditation experiences to promote mental wellbeing and self-awareness.
