🌿 Why You'll Love This Experience:

• A Spacious, Scenic Retreat: The villa offers sweeping mountain views.

• Total Privacy & Comfort: We will have the entire villa to ourselves — ideal for deep introspection, rest, and restoration.

• Close to Everything, Yet Peacefully Removed: Nestled just a few kilometers from the town’s historic center, the villa offers easy access to local restaurants, beaches, Palermo, and tourist attractions — while still being tucked away in nature for calm and focus.

Each day, you'll engage in deep, focused work in an environment that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're gazing at the azure waters, walking through fragrant citrus groves, or feeling the grounding embrace of the Sicilian earth, you'll find the clarity and support needed for your healing process.

More about Carnini:

Nestled in the rolling hills of northwest Sicily, just 12 miles from Palermo, the town of Carini is a hidden gem that weaves together ancient roots and medieval elegance. With a history dating back to the 8th century BC, Carini was once home to the Sicani people and later a crossroads for Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans — all of whom left indelible imprints on its culture and architecture.

The heart of the town beats in its enchanting historical center, where marble-paved streets wind through centuries-old buildings, and time seems to slow. Dominating the skyline is the Carini Castle, a remarkably preserved 11th-century Norman fortress that stands as a proud sentinel of the past, inviting visitors to step into stories of knights and noble families.

Life in Carini is vibrant yet unhurried; the town square bustles with local flavor as residents gather to shop, chat, or sip espresso under the Sicilian sun, a lively mix of cars, bicycles, and laughter bringing color to the everyday. Carini is not just a destination — it's an experience, where history, community, and timeless beauty converge.

This is more than an intensive—it’s a sacred experience, a time to reconnect with your inner world while surrounded by the beauty and timeless energy of Sicily. If you're ready to take a profound step forward, this intensive is for you. This is also a pathway for Brainspotting certification.
