Sicilian summer mood board (part 1)☀️

When I was 13 I wrote a life bucket list with around 50 things and the first item was: “Move to Italy: Rome, Florence, Sicily”.

I went to Sicily for the first time in 2019, 10 years after I moved to Rome and I’ve gone back every summer since. It’s a dream. One of my favorite place I’ve ever been. I maybe even could live there (?)

That bucket list also included wanting to adopt a pet chimpanzee (I was obsessed with Jane Goodall) so needless to say, I don’t expect or want all the items on it anymore.

This is a tiny tribute to the land of ice cream and bread for breakfast, fig trees that produce exponentially larger figs each day, crystal clear water, and a general sense that life can slow down and time isn’t important.

Rest, pleasure, nourishment, replenishing. That’s what the last two weeks have been (and so so so much more).

I’ll be back next week to lead a retreat there (Aug 31-Sept 6, just outside of Noto). Want to experience it for yourself? And meet an amazing group of women and move and nourish your body? There’s still a spot for you, my last minute gal 💛
