Sicilian Spirit Yoga and meditation centre
Practice, creativity, and a storied landscape
A restored farmhouse, a river, and an old labyrinth garden give Sicilian Spirit a character that feels as much rooted in place as in practice. Set across 25 hectares, the retreat grounds include a private park and a secluded oak wood, with the farmhouse dating to the 17th century and the garden labyrinth to the 18th. Yoga and meditation are central, while art retreats bring a creative dimension to the programme. The landscape invites unhurried walks between sessions, and the historic buildings lend the setting a sense of continuity rather than purpose-built retreat polish. It is a compelling choice for travellers who want contemplative time in a generous natural setting, with room for both quiet practice and creative work. Retreat formats and practical arrangements can vary, so check upcoming dates and details with the host.

Setting
The retreat grounds span 25 hectares, with a private park, a secluded oak wood, a river and an 18th-century labyrinth garden. The restored farmhouse adds historic character to a landscape made for taking a slower pace between sessions.
The practice
Yoga and meditation are the named practices, though no particular lineage or style is identified. Expect the focus and format to depend on the retreat you book rather than assuming a fixed daily class sequence. If you are new to either practice, ask the host which sessions are suitable for beginners and what to expect.
