DEAR SISTER,
This is a call to you to come in and share with us a space in sisterhood.
A space where we can explore all of the magic and the healing power within.
A circle that is safe and welcomes ALL of you.
Where no parts of our bodies are shamed.
Where no parts of our expressions are rejected.
Where we are welcome and seen in our wholeness.
Supported by mother earth we gather in ceremony
To come home to our bodies,
To come home to our inner wisdom
To come home to our wild and wise selves!
You are invited to our epic upcoming 6-day Women's Retreat on the mystical island of Sicily!
We are opening a safe and sacred space for you to explore and express the pure and authentic version of you, and to fully step into the Wild Wise Woman that you are!
OUR SICILIAN SANCTUARY
Borgo degli Aranci is the essence of true Sicilian countryside living. It's a large property divided into three colonial houses with a swimming pool and epic views over the sea and Mount Etna. It provides the luxury and privacy that will make this retreat unforgettable.
Borgo degli Aranci
As you make your way down the long drive past countless orange trees, you will catch your first glimpse of the soft tones of Borgo degli Aranci’s sun-bleached walls. On arrival, your focus will turn to the immaculate lawns and the inviting pool… there is no doubt: this is a special place!
Borgo degli Aranci is surrounded by a wonderful garden and a beautiful orange grove which ensure complete privacy!
Accomodation
There are three buildings making it possible for us to enjoy our own space and privacy in private rooms. All the rooms are furnished with 1 double bed and decorated in a wonderful Italian style.
Food
During our 6 days retreat, our host will offer us delicious and locally sourced vegan and vegetarian food. We will have brunch and dinner every day. You will also be provided fruit to snack on, but please also bring snacks yourself if you feel you'll need more energy throughout the day. We care about individual dietary requirements - just let us know in your application. Filtered water is also provided, bring your own water bottle.
Getting there
The nearest airport is Catania-Fontanarossa (CTA). We can arrange a pick-up upon request.
If you decide to come on your own, follow the directions to Via Civi, 10, 95013 Fiumefreddo di Sicilia CT, Italia.

SNEAK PEAK
The Practices
Our days will be filled with rituals, ceremonies and practices focused on re-connecting with our bodies, femininity, inner wisdom, and mother earth.
Zahra's focus is on practices around the yoni and womanhood to release shame and activate the source of feminine power, pleasure, and purpose.
Rodi will create space for embodied somatic movement, where we will RE-connect with the natural flow of energy, welcoming in the spirals, the circles, the waves for a deeper connection with our physical, emotional, and spiritual body.
Within all practices safety and consent are at the center, everything is an invitation, not a must! As trauma-aware facilitators, we encourage you to honor your boundaries and go at your own pace*.

* We are hosting this retreat according to the Wise Woman Tradition, which refers to the healing lineages that have existed for centuries, since the beginning of humanity. She includes all traditional healing modalities that were and still are embodied by witches, midwives, herbalists, mothers, grandmothers, and healers. It's these women who remind us that there is nothing wrong with us. We are not broken. We are whole, just as we are.
YOUR HOSTS
Rodi
I’m a human being devoted to living a life of freedom and bringing tangible value to the world. I'm working on supporting other women with their own journey of coming back to their bodies and reconnecting with the innate power that resides within us all.
We are all incredible beings, we all have an innate source of power within us.
We just need to remember that!
Connect with it!
And come back HOME!
Zahra
My journey from mind to body started at age 17, when I had a psychosis. I experienced what happens when I don’t listen to my body and intuition. And when I let fears rule my life. Therapy, coaching, yoga, embodiment and nature have had a huge impact eversince. I discovered that there is more to life than the rational, that my body is perfect and sacred and about the power that lays within my womb and cyclicality. I discovered that womanhood is not a burden, but an absolute blessing. And that there is nothing that brings me more joy than to share this and connect with others as a coach and teacher.
