The experience...
Introducing our brand new retreat for 2024 which we’re so honoured and excited to be sharing with you. This year’s summer season begins on a very special Mediterranean island, Pantelleria. This magical Italian island is situated 106km South West of Sicily, nestled between Europe and Africa. The embrace of nature and the fusion of diverse cultures create a potent environment for this sacred journey. Pantelleria beckons you to discover the harmonious blend of volcanic landscapes, therapeutic thermal springs and crystal waters.
Our retreat home is Parco dei Sesi; a sensational vision of sustainability, design, beauty and slow luxury. This haven within a haven is the most idyllic setting where you’re invited to immerse yourself in the healing energy of nature
This 5 night retreat is a special opportunity to connect with yourself and deepen your practice. The theme of our journey is Wholeness.
That which we inherently are.
Sometimes in life we can feel pushed and pulled with so much to do and this creates disconnect from the One
and all that’s within you.
Whole is what you are. You are made up of the entire universe and wholeness is your birthright.
Through the power of twice daily yoga practice, guided meditation, sound healing and ritual you’ll be supported to free the mind,
body and spirit from habitual blocks and cycles that are no longer serving you.
Return home to wholeness.

– You have experienced or want to experience the transformational power of yoga
