Luscious Color Retreat in Sicily

A REMEMBRANCE OF ETERNAL MAGIC

A brand new retreat offering is here and I must admit, a total dream come true for me. When I received the invite to teach here I just knew I had to do it. Best of all, its in the total ancient magic (I like to call it ancient future, because it is also about us remembering our elegant simplicity and expansion of our soul in timelessness).

This retreat welcomes artists of all levels, offering a space to explore the endless possibilities of creative exploration. You’ll leave with a stunning collection of mixed-media paintings inspired by the azure shores of Cefalù, the picturesque Gangi—celebrated as Italy’s most beautiful village—the majestic Castello di Sperlinga fortress, and the ancient woodlands and rolling hills of the Madonie Natural Park. So much potent energy and beauty!

Under my guidance and alongside just 15 other supportive fellow artists, you’ll grow spiritually and in joy. It’s time for us all the celebrate in color and community that which we truly are. Let us come home to our soul’s wisdom and utter brilliance.

Also, my hosts are total professionals and taking care of every detail. What that means: I get to show up in total presence and instruction for you. All our art trips, incredible Sicilian meals, bonus breathwork and embodiment workshops for creative confidence and flow, are all there for you more than any other retreat before. Everything is inclusive (all meals, lodging, excursions) and we even get to paint in plein-air or in the field at this absolutely stunning locales. Next year is astrologically about lightness, play, and community… so this is in total harmony with that.

Your retreat venue is a historic 17th-century traditional Masseria, rich in character. Nestled within a lush 25-hectare private estate near the Madonie Natural Park, it features a secluded oak forest, a peaceful riverbank, a refreshing pool, and a captivating 18th-century labyrinth garden. Each day, you’ll savor delicious Sicilian cuisine prepared by a private chef and paired with local wine.

So if you cannot already tell, I am over the moon to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with you. So many visions are coming in on how to experience the utter delight of being in a human body and how to express that in authenticity and flow! We also have a yoga, breathwork, and light movement room (a rare gift) so that we can be feeling expanded and integrated. This is what my soul has been asking for for you, and now its finally happening.

Space is limited (please note you will not be charged until it is guaranteed). Secure your room of choice and see you in a world of total magic.
