SICILY
Sicilian Full Moon Retreat: Unveiling the Keys to Happiness | April 25 – May 2, 2026
7 NIGHTS / 8DAYS
Step into a sacred oasis of sunlight, song, and soul awakening in the heart of Sicily—where cobblestone paths meet wildflowers and the Full Moon beckons you to journey inward, awaken your truth, and reclaim your joy.
Enter this sacred portal of deep spiritual renewal.
Join us for a transformational 8-day journey of yoga, meditation intuitive awakening, energetic clearing, and soul empowerment, as you align with your soul’s natural state of happiness. Our one-of-a-kind women’s retreat is an invitation to rediscover your intuition, your light, and the deep well of happiness that already lives within you. Nestled in a historic 16th century Italian masseria – a stone farmhouse – surrounded by olive groves, quiet countryside, and the intoxicating scent of jasmine, you’ll be held by the land as you slow down, reconnect, and rise.
The Masseria itself breathes history and magic — its warm stone walls and fragrant gardens hold centuries of wisdom. Here, the air hums with peace. You will rest beside a shimmering pool reflecting the clear Sicilian skies, awaken your senses with walks through sunlit fields and quiet paths where the silence holds space for your deepest transformation. We will gather in the stunning yoga space, with its rustic stonework and earthy elegance. It beautifully reflects the soul of Sicily—a sacred place to awaken, align, and gather in joyful connection.
Days will unfold slowly — punctuated by moments of stillness, the taste of homemade meals crafted by loving local hands, bursting with the flavors of fresh herbs, ripe tomatoes, and golden olive oil. Each bite a celebration of life and abundance.
