Please contact us for any questions or inquiries.

In this time of stacked crises in our world, many of us have been working nonstop to care for others, whether at work or in our personal lives. Yet our bodies, like the body of the earth we live on, need tending and nurturing in order for us to experience the creativity and transformative potential of this turbulent time. Join Angelica Singh and Anita Chari, co-founders of Embodying Your Curriculum, for a weeklong retreat in the dynamic territory of eastern Sicily, where you’ll be nourished by deep embodiment practices, yoga, writing journeys, self-nourishment skills, and creative local cultural excursions that will connect you with your voice and intention, open up channels of insight and intuition, and ground you in your center. You’ll emerge with a clearer relationship to yourself and your path. Like the land that we’ll gather upon, we too can regenerate and deepen through embodied nourishment, as we attune to the energies of the volcanic Mt. Aetna, the Ionian Sea, and the cultural richness of the crossroads that is Sicily. This retreat is designed to support educators, healers, health care workers, professionals, and creatives.
