Dear Friends,
I'm thrilled to be offering a retreat in Sicily this year, 2017. The energetic quality of the year for me, is already proving positive and creative. Notwithstanding world events, I am feeling adventurous and ready to explore a little more of our beautiful world. I invite you to join me.
When I began running retreats in 2009 in Turkey, so much of what I loved was the colour, flavour and range of foods, the glorious call to prayer that made me stop momentarily to reflect, the fragrance of summer fruits at market, the Ottoman architecture, the gorgeous unique countryside and the warm and welcoming people. It truly enlivened my senses.
It is your senses that will be stimulated in Sicily. We a constantly taking in impressions of the world around us through our eyes, ears, skin, tongue and nose. We nourish our body with food and we nourish our thoughts and emotions and enhance our sense of physical and emotional wellbeing by tuning in to the sights, sounds, feelings, tastes and smells that our days offer.
Come join me for a sensational adventure.
Stimulate your Senses
Sicily Yoga Retreat
13 - 19 June 2017
A 7 day/6 night retreat to explore and enliven your senses through the tastes, sights, sounds and fragrances of this magnificent historic and ancient island.
We experience much of life through our senses. We are stimulated by flavour, fragrance, melody, seeing and touching. On this retreat experience, our attention to the senses will excite and inform our Yoga practices and in turn, our life. We will enjoy these sensational gifts on the magical island of Sicily. A place I’ve visited many times over the years and which still fascinates me. I look forward to sharing with you the natural and cultural beauty that is imprinted on this landscape and its people.
During our retreat, we will visit the living mountain of Mt Etna and the picturesque town of Taormina. There will be ruins to explore in Siracuse and Sicilian traditional and modern food to delight you.
5 nights at Hotel Borgo Pantano, which is set within the nature reserve ‘Cyane and Saline’, is a 4-star hotel and just 7 kms from Siracuse. The hotel is surrounded by a spacious and beautifully landscaped garden and pool. Our final night will be in the historic centre of Siracuse at Grand Hotel Ortigia. To wander these cobbled stoned streets, watch the sun go down while eating antipasto, sipping Prosecco, and eating gelato, our last night together will be a final surge for the senses.
