Details

Join us for an enchanting escape to Sicily, where our home base will be a lovingly restored 17th-century farmhouse nestled in the rolling hills of central Sicily. This serene retreat center is the perfect backdrop for a journey of self-discovery, intuition and rejuvenation. ​ At Kim James Retreats, we believe your only job should be to relax and receive. From the moment you say “yes” to the moment you return home, every detail is thoughtfully curated and expertly handled. We take care of the planning, the logistics, and all the little things—so you can fully let go, unwind, and immerse yourself in the experience of a lifetime. Feel the Sicilian Spirit THE MASSERIA Nested in the heart of the Madonie mountain park, a few miles from Gangi – “Most beautiful village in Italy” prize winner – and about 40km from the enchanting fishermen village of Cefalù, Sicilian Spirit hosts yoga and meditation retreats in a 17th century “Masseria”, wonderfully restored respecting her ancient feudal structure. Surrounded by the silence offered by its enclosed 25 hectares park, at 650 mts above the sea level, you will be able to walk for hours in the secret inner paths and in the hidden centuries-old oak forest, get lost in the labyrinth garden of the 18th century, explore the banks of our “private” river, meditate or practice yoga at sunrise or sunset in the terrace overlooking the mountains and the valley or just sunbathing and swimming in the infinity pool.

There are places that belong to our souls. We know that we have finally landed there in the moment we see them for the very first time. After a long search, we found one in the most enchanting part of Sicily, and we made Sicilian Spirit become your perfect, luxury, yoga retreat center in Italy. In our 17th-century farmhouse, surrounded by 25 hectares of a lush private park that includes a secluded oak wood, a small river, and a labyrinth garden of the first half of the 18th century, we host your yoga, meditation, and art retreats. Located in the Madonie area, in the very centre of Sicily, the Masseria is a certified organic farm and produces extra virgin olive oil, wheat, vegetables, and fruit that we use to prepare our healthy vegetarian meals and our homemade preserves and jams. If you are a teacher, we will heartily welcome you and your students in our 12 suites and luxury double rooms, our fully equipped 130 sq.m large yoga room, and our Ayurvedic treatments area and we'll support you in every step of your stay during your retreat. Our heritage of Sicilian culture, hospitality, and soulful traditions play a great part in our life path and sustain us to live in harmony with ourselves, others, and Nature.
