Italy – June 01 – June 07, 2024

Arrive at Palermo International Airport in the Italian island of Sicily where our airport shuttle will transfer you to our beautiful retreat center where we’ll spend our week. We’ll gather for a welcome dinner to meet your hosts and new friends!

We’ll start our morning setting intentions for the week, followed by mindful meditation and yoga led by Dee. We’ll indulge in a beautiful Mediterranean breakfast and then enjoy some free time to ground in our luscious Italian surroundings. Take a walk to the sea or take a bike for a ride around the area. After a nourishing lunch we’ll head to the nearby town of Marsala to take in the beautiful sights including the Marasla Cathedral and explore the old town. We’ll return back to our villa for dinner and a good night’s rest.

Early morning yoga and meditation along the Mediterranean is followed by breakfast and wine tasting – because it’s always wine o’clock in Italy! We’ll start the day with a tour of a local wine producer getting an insider’s look at how the local wine is made before sampling some of the world famous Marsala DOC wine. We’ll return to our villa for lunch, some R&R before meeting Dee for our first workshop followed by dinner.

Today we explore the pristine islands off the coast of Sicily. After breakfast, we’ll head to Marsala and sail to the Egadi Islands – considered one of Italy’s best kept secrets. We’ll visit the unspoiled beaches of Favignana and Levanzo islands and have the opportunity to snorkel and stand up paddle board. We’ll return back to our villa for dinner and a dreamy night after all of the adventure out at sea.

We’ll start the day with a morning meditation and a yoga practice to awaken our minds and bodies. We’ll fuel up with a delicious breakfast before we head out to explore the mesmerizing, walled 12th-century medieval village of Erice with mountain charm, sensational sea-and-valley views and explore the striking Castello di Venere This well preserved medieval town offers breathtaking views and fascinating history. After a few hours exploring, we’ll head to Tropani’s main town for some shopping and to have lunch by the sea. We’ll return back to our villas for dinner followed by a beautiful yin yoga practice and a meditation.

We’ll allow our minds to find stillness with meditation this morning and move our bodies mindfully with a yoga practice. After breakfast there’ll be free time to relax by the pool before Dee leads us through her final workshop. The rest of your afternoon will be at leisure to read a book, soak up some sun or get a massage. We’ll come together to end this week with a beautiful closing ceremony, dinner and an optional free flowing movement of ecstatic dance under the mediterranean sky.

A short morning meditation for our last morning together followed by breakfast before we say our see you laters!
