SICILY REGISTRATION OPEN!

I am THRILLED to announce this year's international retreat to Sicily, Italy, October 4-9, 2025. I've partnered with Karen La Rosa of La RosaWorks to curate an unforgettable experience, showcasing all this famed Italian island has to offer. This trip truly has it all: food, wine, and yoga included. We'll adventure to some of Sicily's most historic and breathtaking sights, dine on local cuisine, and enjoy the luxe accommodations of Baglio Oneto. All the details are below — reach out if you have any questions!

WHERE WE’LL STAY: BAGLIO ONETA
The Baglio Oneto is a luxury wine resort with breathtaking views of the ocean, surrounding islands, and the Sicilian countryside. Located in the city of Marsala, architectural marvels will never be far away for those who wish to explore independently, and bikes will be available courtesy of Baglio Oneto. Each day, we'll enjoy morning yoga at the hotel before the day's events begin. A luxurious pool, indoor and outdoor bars for espresso or aperitivo, and an onsite restaurant await for downtime. Single and double room options are available, with pricing detailed below.
