Italy with Kate Gillespie
May 17 - 24, 2025 in Sicily
After my 2024 retreat in Puglia, I spent a week in Sicily and absolutely fell in love. The scenery, this history, the culture, the food! Before I was even back in Canada, I decided that I had to go back in 2025. Please join me for a week at Danena Sicily, a retreat destination offering a revitalizing fusion of activities centered around yoga, nature, music, and healthy food. Our home for the week is a 19th century farmhouse - La Masseria - situated in the luscious natural landscape of southeastern Sicily surrounded by 80 acres of farm and the breathtaking Mediterranean sea. We are 15 minutes from the sea, and 15 minutes from the World Heritage town of Noto – one of Italy’s most beautiful historical centres.
We’ll practice yoga once or twice daily (depending on other activities), enjoy healthy Pescatarian meals (all dietary needs accommodated), relax on the beautiful property, and explore what Sicily has to offer. We’ll visit the ancient cities of Noto, Ragusa, Siracusa and Ortigia, enjoy the wonderful coast on a boat trip, take a cooking class, listen to live music, hike in the most beautiful nature reserve by the sea, swim in the pool and the sea, and whatever else your heart desires.
