Your Sicilian Spring Retreat
March 29 – April 3, 2026
Step out of winter’s stillness and into Sicily’s vibrant spring, where blossoms burst open, days grow longer, and the air feels alive with new possibilities. Over six unforgettable days, you’ll immerse yourself in movement, connection, and renewal. All happening during a magical celebration under the radiant Full Pink Moon on April 1st.

This retreat is for you if…
• You are seeking a meaningful break from the busyness of daily life - a pause to breathe, move, and realign.
• You feel called to return to yourself, to reconnect with your essence, and to explore the layers of who you are beneath roles and expectations.
• You have practiced yoga before and feel comfortable with the basics - this retreat is designed for a moderate level, transitioning into intermediate.
• You are an advanced movement practitioner who wishes to complement your physical practice with journaling, meditation, and reflective inner work.
• You want to deepen your movement practice while also exploring the inner journey of reflection, stillness, and self-discovery.
• You are curious about weaving yoga with the symbolic language of flowers and the four elements, allowing nature to inspire your practice.
• You value being in community - sharing meals, circles, and conversations with like-hearted individuals while also having plenty of space for yourself.
• You are ready to invest in your wellbeing and give yourself the gift of time, presence, and care.
This retreat is not about striving or performing - it is about unfolding gently, yet powerfully, into your unapologetic self.
Who this retreat may not be for
• If you have zero yoga experience and no movement background, this retreat may feel overwhelming. However, if you come from a dance, sport, or other movement practice, you are welcome to join and will find support as you transition into yoga.
• If you are seeking a purely holiday-style experience without interest in inner work, reflection, or community practices.
• If you prefer a very fast-paced or fitness-focused program rather than a balance of physical practice, journaling, and mindful exploration.
• If you are not comfortable with shared group spaces, such as circles, guided reflection, or communal meals.
This retreat is lovingly designed to support those who want to grow both in movement and in self-awareness, blending outer expression with inner unfolding.
Your Invitation to Unfold
This is more than a yoga retreat, it’s a journey to bloom into your fullest self. You’ll leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more alive than ever before, carrying Spring’s energy into the months ahead.
