About this trip

Reclaim your body and quiet your thoughts with daily yoga practice and unlock evidence based knowledge to navigate menopause with confidence.

Join us for our 2nd retreat, this time on the stunning West coast of Sicily!
Salinara Art Farm and Retreat Center is an elegant, renovated 18th century farm, close to the beautiful Baroque town of Marsala, just 15 minutes from Trapani airport and one hour from historic Palermo. The farm is immersed in nature, surrounded by ancient salt pans, windmills, vineyards and olive groves, and within walking distance of the Mediterranean sea.

Our mission:
By combining our professional expertise, we offer you an experience that will be relevant, adaptable and long lasting. We will send you home with a simple, bespoke plan to integrate healthy habits into your days in a way that is sustainable, nourishing, and empowering. 

  • Participate in daily menopause lectures and discussions about hormones, symptoms, treatment options, and practical lifestyle shifts. 

  • Discover a way to practice yoga that works for your body. Breathing exercises and postures will help you settle the internal noise, loosen tight spots and regain balance. 

  • Learn how nutrition, exercise, mindset, stress reduction, and communication needs change during the menopause transition. 

Together we will explore the coastal towns of Marsala and Trapani, taste the local wines, visit the medieval town of Erice, tour the Temple of Segesta and take a dip in the hotsprings.
Or on your own, simply enjoy il dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing – relaxing on your private terrace or chilling in a hammock in the pretty gardens. Full of extraordinary charm and natural beauty, Salinara is a perfect retreat hideaway where both body and soul can regenerate.
