The Sacred Return

A Self-Love Healing Retreat for Mind, Body & Spirit

**Why This Retreat Is Different**

This is a pilgrimage of the heart.
Every detail is handled for you, so you can arrive in Sicily and immediately exhale. You’ll be met at the airport, guided through each healing experience, and supported every step of the way.

You’ll leave not only with memories of breathtaking landscapes and sacred sites, but with a lighter heart, renewed spirit, and a deep sense of connection to yourself, to the divine, and to a community of fellow travelers on their own sacred return.
