THE RETREAT
Welcome to Sicilian Spirit Retreat Center, a 17th century farmhouse surrounded by 60 acres of lush private park in the Madonie of Sicily. Our fully equipped yoga hall with huge vaulted ceilings, small river, and labyrinth garden dating back to the first half of the 18th century are perfect for relaxation. Lounge by the pool, read under the trees, or book an Ayurvedic massage with in-house experts and explore what Sicilians call “dolce far niente” – the sweetness of doing nothing.

THE YOGA:
Welcome to our yoga studio for the next seven days! Our daily yoga classes are led by two experienced 500-Hour Yoga Teachers, Alyson Mcwilliams and Rebecca Dawson. Our yoga hall is fully equipped with mats and props, and is located in a beautifully transformed old barn with vaulted ceilings.
🌟 Awaken Your Spirit: In the embrace of Sicily's timeless beauty and the transformative power of yoga, you'll discover a deeper connection to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. As you weave mindfulness, movement, and journaling into your daily routine, you'll awaken to the infinite possibilities within, embracing a life of greater presence, purpose, and joy. 🌿🕊️
THE FOOD:
The Masseria is a certified organic farm and produces extra virgin olive oil, wheat, vegetables and fruit that are used to create farm to table healthy vegetarian meals. Everything is prepared fresh, from the breads and cakes to the seasonal soups and stews, salads and of course pasta made in true Sicilian tradition. Gluten free options are available.
YOUR STAY:
Rooms are in old stonehouse cottages perched on a hillside overlooking the valley, or in the farmhouse above the yoga hall. Each room is uniquely outfitted, with shared outdoor space. Shared and single room options available.

There’s something for everyone on this visit to the biggest island in all of Italy!
