SICILY HOLISTIC RETREAT
THE SLOW DOWN MOTION
THE EXPERIENCE
Here we do the opposite of what we have been told. After years or running and exhaustion, we invite rest into our lives. We unclench our jaws and relax our shoulders. We make and take the time to be where we are truly – here, resetting our nervous system, so that it works for us – and not against us. We exit the state of urgency and tension that seems to lead and govern our lives and instead decide how we want to live this one precious life.
As we guide you back towards yourself, through healing practices ie. yoga, breathwork, meditation, writing, self massages ateliers & many more surprises, you are able to reclaim your own headquarters. Be who you are and not what you have been told or expected to be. Ruling over your own kingdom and queendom adamantly and yet ever so softly.
Together, we will tune into nature’s rhythms allowing for plenty of time for contemplation, long candlelight dinners, farniente, sea and sun time, re-connection, and deep relaxation and renewal.
DIVING IN
Born out of spectacular eruptions thousands years ago, Pantelleria, the black pearl of the Mediterranean, has a raw beauty and magnetism unmatched. Authentic, wild and spontaneous, she offers countless gifts, to those daring – daring to see with their hearts. Her underwater and earthly volcanic activity makes for a perfect natural and open-air spa. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself swimming in turquoise thermal waters, covering your body with healing clay in Lago Specchio di Venere, watching the sun sets over Africa to the west, behind Tunisia’s coastline, while sipping some local wine. Gabriel Garcia Marquez fell under her charm before us and recounted in his book Extraños peregrinos: “Being aware of your feelings is a precious gift,”remarks Angela, and living in Pantelleria highlights all of our senses but particularly, our minds and hearts. The bottom line is that Pantelleria is a timeless space, suspended between the sky and the sea.” It is the kind of place you leave but that never leaves you and we couldn’t think of a better setting to host this heart-centred retreat. Surrounded by two hectares of Mediterranean maquis, centuries’s old olive trees, vineyards and almond trees, we will indulge in delicious and soul warming meals on our luxuriant estate – think open air table, local Sicilian products grown and cooked with love and care. This special and unique retreat is a co-creation between two close friends and work partners: Joanna and Charline. Charline, masseuse and Vinyasa teacher, Joanna, meditator and Hatha teacher, together they combine the yin & the yang, offering you the best of both worlds. Why choose when you can have it all.
