October 14th – 21st 2024
Catania – Sicily, Italy
I hosted my first immersive experience with yoga, culture and nature on the island of Sicily in October 2024. Sicily, the southernmost part of Italy, and in particular the eastern part of the island, is close to my heart as it has been my home since September 2019. I am in awe of the land’s raw beauty and I am grateful for the kindness of the communities inhabiting it. It brings me great joy to share some of my favorite places, experiences and tasty treats with you.
Our home for the week was a villa in an organic orange and avocado farm in the province of Catania, just 15 minutes away from the sea in the foothills of Mount Etna and about 40 minutes north of Catania, the city where I live.
This experience was equal parts a yoga retreat as well as a cultural adventure. We practiced yoga everyday and had meditative time for self reflection and relaxation. AND, we will also enjoy a bounty of opportunities to explore the surrounding countryside, sea, villages and historical sites. This is truly my favorite way to host an international retreat where most if not all attendees are travelling to a new (to them) land and culture.
Sicily is my favorite place to host international retreats because it is where I currently call home and I feel a deep connection to the land and the people. I hope you can join me for a future Sicilian adventure!
