Masseria San Giovanni, Sgadari, Petralia Soprana

The island of Sicily is steeped in natural beauty and rich folklore.

Connect to your deep spiritual self as you embark on an adventure into the heart of Sicily with your guides, Angie and Josh.

We will be the guests of Sicilian Spirit Retreat Center, located in the Madonie area, at the very heart of Sicily. Our home will be a 17th century farmhouse and its adjacent guest cottages, surrounded by 60 acres of a lush private park that includes secluded oak woods, a small river and a labyrinth garden dating back to the first half of the 18h century. 

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.

Summer is the perfect time to adventure in Sicily.

We are planning hikes surrounded by the breath taking Sicilian landscape, a day trip into the enchanting town of Cefalu, and an excursion to local historic sites.

You can also dip in the magnificent freshwater pool on the property or enjoy the beautiful orchard and grounds of the farmhouse. 

It is truly a spectacular location that you won’t want to miss.

On this journey you will:

• Indulge in the luxury of this historic villa

• Practice yoga, meditation, and sacred sound

• Enjoy the spectacular farm-to-table cuisine of Sicily

• Explore the beautiful natural wonders of this ancient island

• Visit the historic and beautiful seaside town of Cefalú

• Engage in creativity though journaling and simple art projects

• Be in spiritual gathering and community

There is limited availability and space will fill up fast! We are accepting only 13 attendees.

Space is limited and room types will be offered on a first come basis.  

Words of praise from our previous retreat attendees…

This retreat was the perfect blend of yoga, cultural immersion, quiet time for reflection and superb food enjoyed with the other retreat members. The venue is beautiful and comfortable. The pace of life is different in Sicily and getting out of our busy lives for a week was a gift for the soul. Angie and Josh are wonderful guides for this adventure! –Lin Brown

The trip to the beautiful island of Sicily was a treasure. It was a magical reprieve with creative and nurturing opportunities. We practiced yoga and meditation daily together. We also had time to socialize, swim and nap! The food was farm to table, the pool was gorgeous with outstanding views of the local agriculture. So inspiring to be in community in such beauty. I am grateful for the privilege of joining this once in a lifetime trip. I could go on about how well organized, flexible and generous Angie and Josh were. I am happy to speak with anyone about this opportunity! –Connie Nelson-White

Angie and Josh’s Spirit of Sicily Retreat is a magical experience. The stunning Masseria, the delicious food, the well-paced schedule, the thoughtful excursions, and the amazing yoga classes will make you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. I can highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience. –Kim Wenger-Hall
