THE FULLNESS OF YOU
SICILY, ITALY
FRIDAY 28TH AUGUST - TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2026
A 4 NIGHT, 5 DAy LATE SUMMER RETREAT IN SICILY, ITALY.
The Fullness of You is a late-summer retreat rooted in the understanding that life is already full - and so are you. In Vedic philosophy, the word paripūrṇam speaks to wholeness, a feeling that everything is full and complete: nothing missing, nothing to add. This retreat is an invitation to remember that truth, not just as an idea, but as a lived, embodied experience. Set against long sun-filled days, open sea views, and the slow rhythm of Sicilian life, we create space to allow it all in.
Late August is a moment of natural completion. Summer has ripened fully, offering its sweetness before the gentle turn toward September. It’s a time to pause, to check in, and to gather yourself before what comes next. This retreat mirrors that moment - a chance to rest in what is here, and to reconnect with a sense of inner fullness that doesn’t depend on doing more or becoming different. Through deep and devotional practice we return home to self, and to the sense that life is full and complete as it is.
PRICES STARTING FROM £850
‘Yoga means to unite, to come together and make whole […] to remember that everything that happens to you is all part of this journey […] and in the end we find we’ve never really left - what we’ve been looking for has been within us all along.’

“Retreating with sara was utterly magical. she created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere and everything was so thoughtfully planned for us, I felt completely looked after. the creative and flowing classes were the most gorgeous way to start each day - thank you for encouraging us to make the practice whatever we wanted it to be.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR RETREAT HOME - ROCCASETA
Roccaseta is a beautiful farmhouse nestled in the countryside of Sampieri, Sicily, where rolling land meets the deep blue of the sea. Surrounded by olive trees, carob trees, and prickly pears, the air is filled with the familiar scents of Mediterranean scrub, grounding you immediately in the rhythm of this place.
At the heart of the home is a large sea-view terrace - a natural gathering space where mornings begin with slow, nourishing breakfasts made from local delicacies, and afternoons soften into evenings as guests rest in the golden light of sunset, gently cooled by the sea breeze.
The main house, built from soft local stone, carries an ancient beauty and a deep connection to the land. Each room is unique, full of character and atmosphere, and opens onto its own patio or garden. The spaces feel both rural and refined, blending traditional Mediterranean charm with thoughtful, modern design.
Roccaseta is lovingly cared for by its owners, a warm and generous husband-and-wife team, whose kindness and attention are felt in every detail - often alongside the gentle presence of their sweet dog, who quickly becomes part of the retreat experience. Their hospitality creates a sense of ease and welcome that makes the house feel less like a venue, and more like a home.
Here, life slows. Everything speaks to a quieter, more intentional way of being - linen curtains moving in the breeze, the scent of bread baking, the intimacy of reed ceilings, and antique furnishings that carry echoes of another time. At Roccaseta, happiness is found in the small things, savoured slowly.
ROOMS, PRICING + BOOKING
Similar to many retreats, many of the rooms are offered as sharing rooms. It’s a beautiful way to connect with lovely, like-minded people. People often come alone, and leave with friends for life! If you come alone, but want to share a room, I will team you up with someone! Each room is a little different, but all are beautiful and very comfortable.
A non-refundable deposit of half the total amount (50%) is due to book and secure your spot, and the second half is due by the 28th july 2026.
