Happy Memories from our retreat in Sicily.

Did you know that the best-preserved ancient Greek temples cannot be found in Greece but on the Italian island of Sicily and that numerous Greek philosophers lived in Sicily? To this day, this island is still a truly mind-opening place – you can’t help but think and experience more deeply.

We stayed at a beautiful, clifftop villa just south of Catania, with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Etna, and spent our days doing yoga, visiting ancient temples in Taormina, Agrigento, and Syracusa, swimming, and savoring Sicilian cuisine. We studied the Philosophy of Happiness by Aristotle and compared it to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita while watching a flock of flamingos soar over the Sea in front of our villa.

This retreat combined yoga, healthy living, positive affirmation of life, and cultural immersion.
