Slow Living & Creative Wellness Retreat in Sicily

The retreat is based at a private villa near Scicli in southeastern Sicily. The days follow a slow, satisfying rhythm: start with quiet time and tea, then a morning yoga and meditation session, followed by a big Mediterranean brunch. Afternoons are for either heading out to explore nature with a guide or staying in for a creative workshop. Evenings are for sunset and a three-course Italian dinner. The creative workshops are led by Kiran, a creative designer, and Catherine, an artist and yoga teacher. They blend art with yogic practices, using colour, textures, and shapes to explore the world inside and outside yourself. There's a Sicilian cooking class where you'll use your hands to make local dishes, and the food throughout is prepared by an Italian chef using fresh, local ingredients. The small group size—between five and ten people—means you'll get to know everyone, and the hosts work hard to make it feel like a home away from home. It's a retreat that doesn't try to do too much, and that's exactly its strength: you leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and genuinely rested.
