Deeply nourishing summer retreat.

Join us for a retreat in the unspoiled western region of Sicily, where warm breezes, sea views, and slow Mediterranean rhythms create the perfect environment for regeneration through yoga, creativity, and rest. Led by senior teachers Leslie Graves and Nami Soga, we’ll gather at a peaceful art-farm retreat center in Marsala’s sunlit countryside, surrounded by turquoise waters, vineyards, and ancient salt pans.

We’ll stay in a restored 17th-century farmhouse immersed in nature, full of charm and quiet beauty. The property operates its own organic farm, and we’ll enjoy produce grown right on the land. Each apartment features a private garden, terrace, or balcony with sea views, along with lime-washed walls, handmade tiles, and modern comforts. A short 500-meter walk brings you to the sea and one of Europe’s largest Marine Natural Preserves.

Each day begins with invigorating morning yoga in the open-air shala and winds down with evening practices — yin, restorative yoga, or breathwork to support the nervous system and open intuitive, creative pathways. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, this retreat offers an inclusive environment that is inspiring and deeply supportive for mind, body, and spirit. You’ll also have time for meditation, journaling, and unstructured space to rest, wander local towns, bike along the coast, soak in the Mediterranean sun.

For those who feel called, Nami will offer a three-afternoon tarot and astrology immersion for empowerment and transformation. Additional optional experiences include cooking classes, ceramic painting, individual tarot and astrology readings, healing sessions and more. Together, we’ll explore ancient Marsala, the seaside village of Trapani, local beaches, and the region’s distinctive natural landscapes.

Savor authentic, locally sourced, farm-to-table vegetarian Sicilian meals prepared by expert chefs, featuring fresh produce, artisanal olive oil, and ingredients from the farm and nearby growers. We’ll be enjoying true “slow food.” All dietary needs can be accommodated.

Whether you come to deepen your yoga practice, replenish your creative well, reconnect with nature, or simply rest, this retreat offers space to nourish yourself, move in rhythm with the elements, and gather in a warm, supportive community.
