WHAT IS THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE PROTOCOL
WHY IT WORKS
Time doesn't stop. But it can change direction.
The Reverso retreat, based on the Counterclockwise protocol, applies evidence observed across decades of research: when people radically change their perception of age and act accordingly, measurable improvements in wellbeing and physical function appear.
In the retreat, this shift in perspective doesn't stay an idea. It becomes environment, routine, conversations and guided daily choices.
WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS
Participants in the Counterclockwise program showed significant and clinically relevant improvements.
Results observed:
+16% in physical function
+14% in psychological wellbeing
−33% in depressive symptoms
−29% in anxiety
Improvements in cardiovascular parameters
No drugs. No invasive treatments.
SCIENTIFIC OVERSIGHT
The program is developed and supervised with the contribution of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and is grounded in over 40 years of research on the link between age beliefs and the body's response.
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Ellen Langer, Harvard University
A proven way to think yourself younger and healtier, Counterclockwise
A validated protocol, not a promise
The Reverso retreat is grounded in over 40 years of scientific research.
In 1979, Prof. Ellen Langer (Harvard University) demonstrated that the way we perceive time and age can concretely influence our physical and mental state.
This approach was further developed and validated in 2021 by Prof. Francesco Pagnini (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), through a randomized controlled clinical trial on a one-week immersive retreat.
The result: not a compelling idea, but a structured, replicable and measurable protocol.
THE EXPERIENCE
Living as if time had moved backwards
For six days, guests live inside an environment designed to evoke a meaningful past era of their lives.
It is not nostalgia.
It is an active exercise in identity.
Conversations, activities, movement, cultural and social stimuli are orchestrated to help body and mind reclaim younger, more fluid and vital patterns.
The result is a surprisingly intense, engaging and deeply human experience.

Affluent and conscious travelers
Individuals 65+ oriented toward quality longevity
