SICILY RETREAT at La Masseria, a 19th century restored farmhouse in Noto

 

June 13-19, 2026
with kyle & Tony Lupinacci

 
 

I am so excited to partner with my dear friend Tony Lupinacci for our 3rd retreat together! Tony is a wonderful person and an incredible, spiritual practitioner. We’re going deep into meditation on this one!

Join us for 6 nights, 7 days in Noto, Sicily. Our retreat will take place at La Masseria, a restored 19th-century farmhouse nestled among olive groves and rolling hills with it’s own fresh water pool.  The beautiful historic town of Noto is a 15 minute drive from the retreat center, full of shopping, eating and the most delicious Sicilian pastries.  Marzamemi, a picturesque coastal village with stunning beaches is also 15 minutes away as is the Vendicari nature preserve with its stunning beaches.  This retreat is about exploring this beautiful corner of Sicily, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea and slowing down to the sun soaked pace of Sicily in the Summer.  We'll have an optional boat day (weather permitting) and an optional group wine tasting experience at a fabulous villa.  

The Practice

Our days will begin with vigorous morning sessions, designed to expand your physical fluency and deepen your embodied awareness. These intelligently sequenced practices, enriched by mantra and breathwork, will challenge and refine your form, guiding you toward greater complexity with clarity and grace.

In the evenings, we’ll settle into a gentler, restorative practice, making space to reflect, breathe, and integrate.

Our practice space is a beautiful, pitch-roofed barn, fully equipped with all props and basking in the golden Sicilian light.
