Dream Big RETREAT / SICILY, ITALY / JUNE 16TH - JUNE 22nd, 2017
A Slow Art Retreat on the Island of Salina, Sicily
A five night retreat in one of the most beautiful spots in the world, on the mediterranean Aeolian Island of Salina in Sicily, Italy-- and staying at Hotel Signum-- a magical place I swore to return to one day!! I designed this retreat on the sparkling Mediterranean to rejuvenate & inspire, to connect creatives while making time for self care. Our mornings will begin with a luxurious breakfast, followed by a guided meditation, a short Italian lesson, and a slow art workshop. In the workshops we'll dream big, designing the life we want to live: Incorporating applauded practices & exercises used by experts, we'll dive in with discussion, writing, and art. Bring your favorite supplies (journals, sketchbook, pens, watercolors, etc.) and let's create a life we're passionate about! The afternoons are yours to spend relaxing by the pool or at the spa (with natural thermal springs), at the beach, shopping, hiking, wine-tasting, and exploring the island. I encourage you to bring your sketchbook, camera, & art supplies throughout your daily adventures. We'll meet again for drinks & dinner out at lovely restaurants, sampling the local fare, with stunning sea views. On Day 4 we'll see the islands by boat, stopping at secret swimming spots and for lunch at Da Alfredo (the BEST granita in the world!!). Our last night we'll have a decadent farewell dinner at the exquisite Michelin starred Signum restaurant.
