Karuna Clayton
Reconnect with the vision within
Volcanic earth, olive groves and open Mediterranean views set the scene for Karuna Clayton’s Vision Path retreats on Pantelleria. The work is oriented toward embodied change, combining body-mind maturation coaching with ancestral healing, ceremony and other sacred practices. Rather than focusing on self-improvement as a project of fixing, the approach invites participants to notice old survival patterns and reconnect with a sense of personal direction. Days unfold at a private retreat sanctuary in the Parco dei Sesi landscape, with space for reflection and restoration away from everyday distractions. Farm-to-table Sicilian meals use seasonal ingredients, with vegetarian, vegan and other dietary options. The grounds include a pool, and guest rooms have air conditioning; Wi-Fi, towels, coffee and tea, restaurant service and housekeeping are also listed. Participation runs by donation, so confirm the arrangements for your chosen retreat directly with the host.
