La Collina
747 C St. SE
An Italian (ish) neighborhood restaurant inspired by small osterias in Italy. La Collina means “The Hill” in Italian. A neighborhood spot for friends and families to meet and share meals together. We say ISH because the owner is not Italian and we take liberty at times to incorporate ingredients that might not be Italian…but we know it will be delicious. We are a woman-owned and operated restaurant located in the heart of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Teachers can get a complimentary house cocktail with dinner.
HURU is a radically disruptive holistic rest experience that guides individual guests through a refined weekend of stillness and rest. HURU’s clinical, cultural and spiritual approach helps minimize stress, foster imagination, and develop inner peace through proper nutrition, meaningful wellness practices and sound rest. It is designed for individuals who are fervently following their dreams, leading their communities, and serving essential roles in their families - often at, or over, capacity and sacrificing self-care.
Feeling burned out or just want some time to be still? Book your one-on-one HURU rest retreat and experience uninterrupted rest for 90 minutes, a half-day or weekend stay! We love our teachers and will honor 15% off the entire month of May. Visit huru.space/teacherlove or email [email protected].
