A taxi driver from the airport in Sicily told me that, on this island, the people live under Mount Etna’s rule🌋 - knowing that on any day she could decide to erupt and kill them all. 😅
He said that because of this philosophy, they live every day to the full… knowing that tomorrow is never guaranteed. 🙏
So… they eat well, have long lunches, drink w**e and enjoy each other’s company every single day. 🙌
I think it’s safe to say that we fully embodied this Sicilian ethos during our retreat last week! 😄
La Dolce Vita Retreat was its name, and “the sweet life” was definitely its nature. 🌿
Our lovely guest Sharon Woolf coined the term “from vinyasa to vineyards” which I think sums it up perfectly. 🤣
Huge thank you to Danena Sicily 🍋 for hosting us in an absolutely stunning venue - a restored Sicilian farmhouse surrounded by olive groves, with the most incredible food (and the cutest cats you could ever meet). 🥰
From the random rave in a vineyard, to beach trips, exploring caves, dancing on a boat, pizza under the stars, nightly rituals, moonlit swimming and possibly too much Aperol… and I think we did a bit of yoga in there too. 🤪
The biggest thank you to these fabulous ladies who brought the best vibes. 🥹
Ciao for now, Sicily! 🇮🇹
With love and gratitude always,
Sanya 🤍
