sicily retreat
Sacred becoming
June 4-10, 2027
Join us for 7 Days and 6 Nights in
sicily, italy
A Wild Heart Retreat steeped in beauty, presence, and the sweetness of living slowly.
Time stretches. Meals linger. Sun warms the skin. The sea draws you in.
And somewhere between the olive groves, golden light, and the deep exhale of being far from the pull of your daily life… you begin to return to yourself.
This is a space for those ready to loosen their grip, listen more deeply, and move through life in a way that feels more honest, more embodied, more alive.
We’ll gather in the Sicily for a week of practice, nourishment, connection, and spaciousness.
A place to soften.
A place to awaken.
A place to let beauty work on you.
There’s a saying in Italy: dolce far niente. It means, the sweetness of doing nothing… and everything.
And we plan to fully embody this wisdom.

Days unfold beneath endless blue skies, where every turn invites you to linger a little longer. Mornings begin slowly. Afternoons disappear into the sea. Evenings gather us around long tables beneath a sky full of stars.
Jumping into the Mediterranean. Espresso in little piazzas. The afternoon we took the wrong turn and found our favorite little street in Sicily. Music drifting through dinner as another bottle of wine finds its way to the table. Laughter that lingers long after dessert.
Somewhere along the way, new friends begin to feel like old ones, the days begin to blur in the most beautiful way, and the simplest moments become the ones you carry home.
The Sacred Becoming is an invitation into presence, pleasure, and permission.
Permission to move slowly.
To be held by beauty.
To reconnect with your body, your joy, and the quiet knowing within you.
To laugh often. To wander freely. To savor deeply. To remember how good life can feel when there is space to truly live it.
In the heartbeat of practice.
In the spaciousness of unscheduled moments.
In conversations beneath the stars.
In mornings that unfold without hurry.
In afternoons spent by the sea.
In laughter around the dinner table.
In the aliveness of it all.
Little by little, something begins to shift.
Your shoulders soften.
Your breath deepens.
Your heart feels a little lighter.
And before you know it, you're no longer counting the days... you're fully inside them.
There is a kind of medicine in this.
In being here. In being together. In allowing.
And over time, something begins to integrate gently, naturally, without force.
You feel it in your body.
In your breath.
In the way you move through your day.
A little more grounded.
A little more open.
A little more you.

FAQ’s
-
The closest airport is Catania–Fontanarossa Airport, approximately 45 minutes from the villa.
We recommend taking a local taxi from the airport to the villa. Uber Black may also be available. While airport transportation is not included, we are happy to share arrival information and help coordinate shared rides with other retreat guests arriving around the same time.
-
DescNot at all. Many of our retreat guests take their very first yoga class while on retreat.
All classes are designed for all levels, whether you are brand new to the mat or have been practicing for years. You will always be encouraged to listen to your body, move at your own pace, and make the practice your own.
-
Absolutely. Many guests join our retreats on their own.
Retreats have a beautiful way of bringing people together. Shared meals, classes, adventures, and slow moments create space for friendships to form naturally. Many guests arrive without knowing anyone and leave feeling deeply connected to the group.
-
Yes. Yoga mats will not be provided at the villa, so each guest will need to bring their own.
Travel mats are a wonderful option because they fold easily and fit inside a suitcase. Standard yoga mats can also typically be carried onto the plane and stored in the overhead compartment, depending on the airline’s baggage policy.
-
A rental car is not necessary, although some guests enjoy having one for added freedom during unscheduled time.
The charming village of Fiumefreddo di Sicilia is approximately a 10 to 20-minute walk from the villa, with access to restaurants, the beach, and local shops. Taxis and Uber Black may also be available for exploring the surrounding area.
Transportation for all scheduled group excursions will be arranged by Wild Heart Yoga.
-
Think warm, welcoming, joyful, and deeply connected.
Our days include meaningful practices and moments of stillness, alongside laughter, adventure, beautiful meals, swims in the sea, and plenty of space to simply enjoy being in Sicily.
There is no pressure to be anyone other than yourself. You can participate fully, take quiet time when you need it, and move through the week in the way that feels most nourishing to you.
Wild Heart retreats tend to attract open-hearted, curious humans who value both depth and joy. Come exactly as you are.
-
Yes. We are happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions and food allergies with advance notice.
You will have an opportunity to share your dietary needs before the retreat so our culinary team can prepare accordingly. While every reasonable effort will be made, guests with severe or life-threatening allergies should contact us directly before booking so we can discuss their individual needs.

Travel Logistics
Retreat guests will fly into the Catania–Fontanarossa Airport. Traveling to Italy is quite an adventure!
Give yourself the gift of arriving and checking into the Villa a day early! Instead of stepping off an overnight flight and jumping right into retreat, ease into the slower pace of Sicily. Spend the day lounging by the pool, exploring the nearby village and beaches, enjoying your first espresso, taking a nap, or simply letting your body settle before the retreat begins. We’ll share details on this option in our confirmation email once you’ve reserved your retreat spot.
Want extra support booking your flights? Or maybe you’re considering a visit to other parts of Indonesia or neighboring countries. Our dear friend, Hadiel, luxury travel agent, is happy to assist you!
Travel Insurance/ cancellation Policy
Travel insurance is required. Please note that most policies purchased more than 14 days following your initial trip deposit will not cover pre-existing conditions, so we encourage you to purchase your policy with that window in mind.
Wild Heart Yoga is not responsible for unforeseen personal circumstances, including but not limited to sickness, medical emergencies, family issues, personal schedule changes, etc. There are several Trip insurance plans out there that cover everything from medical reasons (the most common reason for cancellation), weather, laid off from work, and even “cancel for any reason” policies. Wild Heart Yoga is not an insurance provider so policies must be sourced individually.
Due to the extensive planning and financial commitments required for this international retreat, our cancellation policy is firm. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, but because this experience involves significant upfront costs, we must adhere to the following policy:
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable upon payment. Your deposit secures your spot and allows us to make the necessary arrangements on your behalf.
The remaining balance will be split into three equal payments due on:
November 1, 2026
January 1, 2027
March 1, 2027
Each balance payment is non-refundable once processed. This means that if you need to cancel after making any of these payments, that portion of your retreat cost will not be refunded.
Cancellations made within 96 days of the retreat start date (after March 1, 2027): No refunds or transfers will be issued.
