Movement, Mindfulness and Menopause Science.

Join us for our 2nd retreat, this time on the stunning West coast of Sicily. Salinara is an elegant, renovated 18th century farm, close to the beautiful Baroque town of Marsala, just 15 minutes from Trapani airport and one hour from historic Palermo. The farm is immersed in nature, surrounded by ancient salt pans, windmills, vineyards and olive groves, and within walking distance of the Mediterranean sea.

Together we will explore the coastal towns of Marsala and Trapani, taste the local wines, visit the medieval town of Erice, tour the Temple of Segesta, and take a dip in the hot springs.

Or, on your own, simply enjoy il dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing—relaxing on your private terrace or chilling in a hammock in the pretty gardens. Full of extraordinary charm and natural beauty, Salinara is a perfect retreat hideaway where both body and soul can regenerate.

Eat fresh, healthy, delicious farm-to-table food
Salinara is passionate about authentic, delicious food. Most of the produce the chef uses comes from the farm itself or another nearby farm. Even the extra virgin olive oil comes from the trees in front of the farm, and all the wine is from the surrounding vineyards. This use of local products supports the local economy and protects the environment by reducing the supply chain. All food on the retreat is vegetarian. Brunch is served after morning yoga, and dinner is served each evening. Fruit is available before the morning practice.

Morning yoga practice in the garden Yoga Shala
Our morning sessions are 60 minutes of approachable yoga postures designed for women moving through the change of menopause. Discover a way to practice yoga that works for your body. Breathing exercises and postures will help you settle internal noise, loosen tight spots, regain balance, and help you sleep soundly.

Daily lectures and discussions on menopause
We will send you home with a simple, bespoke plan to integrate healthy habits into your days in a way that is sustainable, nourishing, and empowering. Participate in daily menopause lectures and discussions about hormones, symptoms, treatment options, and practical lifestyle shifts. Learn how nutrition, exercise, mindset, stress reduction, and communication needs change during the menopause transition.

Whether you are craving activity, time in nature, travel, mindful eating, deep rest, or connection with others—there is ample opportunity for it all. Immerse yourself in a gorgeous island setting and tune into what’s important. Use this week to reframe this season of life as an opportunity to create the best you for decades to come.
