About this trip

This Sicilian adventure will be a feast for the senses! Our home base will be a 17th century farmhouse in the rolling hills of central Sicily. We'll practice yoga + meditation, learn how to cultivate our intuition, and receive mini reiki treatments during restorative yoga classes.  We'll share lovingly prepared vegetarian meals made from our farm's fresh ingredients.  Our senses will be further awakened on the many excursions included on this trip. We'll visit the UNESCO world heritage site of the Valley of the Temples; spend an afternoon exploring Gangi, one of Sicily's most beautiful villages; visit the beach town of Cefalu; and spend an afternoon, including a group dinner, in Palermo. If it's possible for the senses to be both awakened and soothed at the same time, it's here, immersed in the culture and natural beauty of this singular Italian Island. Andiamo.

As a dynamic, curious, and light-hearted traveler, one of my great joys is introducing people to fascinating places. When we arrive in a new place, we begin to connect with local people, the culture, and the landscape. These interactions inevitably begin to change our inner landscapes as well: hearts swell, minds open, compassion and acceptance spread. I try to facilitate this same connection & expansion when I'm back home teaching yoga at local studios in Hoboken, Jersey City, and NYC. Let's go on some inner/outer adventures together!

This was a truly wonderful and memorable trip. Kim and James were able to create an environment where we felt comfortable to share of ourselves and feel accepted for who we are. I learned a great deal about Sicily and about lots of interesting people who shared this trip. Thank you!

Kim and James created a mythological adventure through their stories, yoga and sound healing. Each day started with a story about a god or goddess as a theme to our yoga practice and then the free time gave us space to create our own story. Closing each day with a sound bath encouraged the most restful sleep. Waking the next day to start the adventure all over again. And Greece is the most beautiful back drop for this adventure along with the chance to meet the most lovely people of the country. Thank you again for and adventure of a lifetime.
