Description of the Retreat

Four Nights & Five Days in a 15-hectre (37-acre) oasis sitting on the foothills of Sicily’s majestic volcano Mount Etna with a view of the mythological Ionian Sea. Each day will be dedicated to one of the Five Elements. For example, Fire Day, we will hike on the volcano Mt. Etna, engage in burning limiting beliefs and have a BBQ! Other days include exploring some of Sicily’s most gorgeous landscapes and historically rich and beautiful marble cities home to ancient Greek and Roman ruins.

Activities will include: Self-discovery journaling, self-regulation practices, self-care routine creation, nature-based guided imagery, mindfulness tools, somatic practices, psychoeducation, nature walks and hikes, yoga and more science-backed toys to add to your playground!

Teacher/Teachings

I am Daniela, your host. I am originally from California, but I have been living in Italy for the last 13 years. I received my Masters in Psychology, Spirituality, Mind and Body from Columbia University. My research revolved around Purpose in Life and I created a model through the 5 Elements as a clear-to-follow framework to guide us into cultivating our Purpose in Life. I have a lot of life experience, not only from living in another country and traveling but through deep grief as I lost both my parents and my husband all at different times within the first 27 years of my life. It has been a journey and I would love to connect with others to offer hope and a newfound joy for life!

Facilities

The retreat center is on heavenly 37-acres of land with villas, pools, jacuzzis, a yoga shala and sprinkled with so many olive trees that they make their own olive oil! And wine! We will be in one of the villas which has its own kitchen, one private bedroom/bathroom and the other rooms are shared. We have our own pool and views of the Ionian Sea, as well as the top of the volcano Mt. Etna. 

Timetable

Arrival on May 31, 2024 at the Catania Airport.

There will be a shuttle picking guests up from the airport around 2PM and taking them to the retreat center.

Each day is dedicated to an Element:
May 31 - Earth - Arrive and ground in the breathtaking land on the foothills of Mt. Etna
June 1 - Fire - Ignite your dreams as you trek the majestic volcano, Mt. Etna and burn away your fears
June 2 - Water - Release and flow as you immerse yourself in the Ionian Sea and Gorges of Alcantara
June 3 - Air - Be whisked away to the Island of Ortigia and breathe in its magical air
June 4 - Space - Reflect on and commit to your infinite potential, expanded consciousness, and intuition

*Each morning will begin with a yoga practice dedicated to the element of the day.*

Testimonials

Testimonials:

Christina, 32, New York - Daniela is patient, kind, and thoughtful and is brilliant in leading you on a journey through your anxieties, worries, insecurities, confusion. She has a calming disposition that helps you transform how you approach next steps and allows you to build a clear process for managing the future. She is really helping me uncover my inner landscape - could not recommend a better experience.

Stefanny - 31, San Francisco - Daniela has provided a safe space in each of our somatic sessions. Her gentle nature made it astonishingly easy for me to navigate my path with her. Her teaching and leadership background gives her a rich and empathetic approach. I remember when I successfully tuned in and felt/heard my body for the first time. Hair stood up and it was enlightening. I experienced a shift and there’s been a before and after in my life ever since. Thank you Daniela for sharing yourself and taking me on this incredible and worthy exploration journey.

Mabel, 30, New Jersey -  My sessions with Daniela were an unforgettable experience. At the beginning of the first sessions, I was facing a huge transition in my life, and I needed a source of guidance. Daniela’s guidance was divine timing as it helped me explore an inner part of myself. Throughout the sessions, I felt a kind, angelic energy transmitting throughout my body. Being in her presence is truly life-changing and healing. I believe that the same presence gave me the strength to heal and nurture that inner part of myself.
