The Let Go & Let Love Retreat with Rooted Rose

You’ve made the choice for self care in Sicily, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you here in this idyllic kingdom. You’ll find a mixture of culture and history that poets used for centuries as a foundation for their myths and ancient tales. From mountains and ruins to farmlands and paradisiacal beaches, travelers are spoiled for choice from the moment they arrive.

Once you land, take your group transfer to your stunning retreat center, nestled within 60 acres of lush farm land. You’ll have time to get your bearings and freshen up from your travels before a welcome dinner with the group. Enjoy the organic fare from the land itself and get to know your fellow retreaters. Grab a glass of your favorite drink and toast to an exciting endeavor together! A short opening welcome ceremony with Erika and Domenic completes the day.

As the run rises, we’ll wake and enjoy the views in Sicily. Our day will start with an invigorating Vinyasa session with meditation, followed by a journaling session geared towards reflection and release. From here, we’ll reward all that inner and outer work with a sumptuous brunch to prepare for a day of exciting activities.

After some free time, we’ll get our hands dirty at an on-site cooking class with a local chef. Learn about Sicily through its wealth of flavors and get to know some of the area’s most popular recipes. Once we refuel with our hand-crafted masterpieces, we’ll close out the night with meditation and a special Full Moon Ceremony. Breathe in the beauty of this experience and rest up for another day.

Good morning and what a good morning it is in beautiful Sicily. Rise with the sun and move your body with Erika during our daily morning yoga session. This is the time to align the mind, body, and soul and prepare yourself to enjoy a beautiful day in the countryside. Today, we’ll participate in a Vinyasa session with guided meditation that will leave us feeling energized and aligned.

After our session, we’ll fuel up with a delicious brunch then put on our exploring shoes for a day in nature. Our local guide will meet us and take us to High Madonie – a stunning mountain range in Madonie Regional Natural Park. We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch along the way before returning to the retreat.

We’ll have some free time back at the retreat before our evening meal. Then, we’ll close out the day and prepare for a stellar night’s sleep with an evening Yin Yoga session that features Reiki healing and a group share to fully reflect on our experiences. This is the perfect way to center and show gratitude for our time here in Sicily.

Today begins with a slow-paced restorative yoga and meditation session, which will help us stretch it out and release the tension we are carrying deep inside. After brunch, it’s more time in nature as we learn all about the harvesting process on the property’s farm. See how grapes and olives are grown and used, giving you the opportunity to lend a helping hand. From here, enjoy some free time before you close out the day with an Evening Chakra Session. This time is meant to help align the mind and body, clear blocks in your energy, and help us all reflect on another harmonious day on this once-in-a-lifetime trip with like-minded souls.

Today, we’re leaving the comfort of the property to explore what Sicily has to offer. However, before we go, we’ll continue our Chakra alignment with a Chakra Vinyasa and meditation session, followed by brunch before we travel to Cefalu Beach and the town itself with a local guide. Here, we’ll have ample time to enjoy the pristine shoreline, charming streets, and historic architecture. Eventually, we’ll have to leave this stunning part of Sicily and venture back to the retreat center. As the sun sets, we’ll slow down with a group meal, then prepare for a good night’s sleep with a Yin Yoga session and Reiki healing.

It’s another day in paradise, and we’ll honor our time here with a morning Vinyasa and meditation session, followed by journaling. Reflect on all that you’ve seen, learned, released, and prepare to accomplish once you return home.

After our morning activities and a quick visit to an Ayurvedic Garden, you have a free and clear schedule — Sicily is your oyster! Spend some time on the hiking trails around the property, book an excursion to one of the historic sites, or simply hang back at the pool and soak in the Italian sun. Once that sun sets, we’ll close out the day with a shamanic journey, reiki, meditation, and dinner. Breathe in the peace, healing, and joy all around.

It’s our final day of the retreat, but we still have a lot in store. How are you feeling after a week of healing yoga, meditation, and Reiki sessions? Keep the good vibes going with a morning Vinyasa and meditation session, indulge in a delicious brunch, and decide how you’ll spend your free time with friends new and old. We'll also participate in a photoshoot to solidify the memories we've made here. To round out the day, we’ll enjoy a farewell dinner at il Castello Ristorante in Petralia Sottana to start saying our goodbyes. Use this time to reflect on a stellar experience and share your heart with the group. We’ll close out our final night with one last Reiki session and meditation to solidify all that we’ve experienced.

It’s been a relaxing week here in Sicily with yoga, meditation, adventure activities, and delicious fare, but today, it’s time to say goodbye. After brunch, take your transfer to the airport and make your way home with a full heart and centered mind. We hope this experience has left you feeling like a new person, ready to head back to reality and continue to explore your inner and outer world. Safe travels and be well!
