Pantelleria: between myth and the wild beauty of nature, the island’s history sinks into the mists of time. One of the last truly wild spots of the Mediterranean where nature prevails above all.
Hypnotic volcanic landscape, pure crystalline water, 13 inactive volcanoes, a lake called the LAKE OF VENUS, sacred sites on the ‘Grande Montagna’, natural saunas and hot springs, a hidden gem where body, mind & soul recalibrate.
For its location (closer to Tunisia then Sicily) and the preciousness of it’s OBSIDIAN sites Pantelleria was nicknamed the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea. The island bears the marks of the different populations who have inhabited it. Including the Sesioti, the Phoenicians, the Arabs and the Normans. This brought many different forms of worship to the island. The guardian goddess of the Island is Tanit
Be open to connecting with her deeply, not just as an incredibly wild and beautiful part of Gaia but as a spirit and she will support you in many ways.

I grew up spending my summers in Pantelleria, where my mother lived and regenerated land.
Pantelleria has been a catalyst of truth and growth in my spiritual journey, her powerful vulcanic energy always brings me back to the purest essence of my heart.
She is gorgeous but not only – Her medicine is strong and also of the elements.
Her raging seas will wash off anything that no longer serves us.
Her strong winds will show what needs to be expressed.
Her volcanic fires burn away anything that is in the way of our transformation.
Her grounding earth holds us with her beauty.
This retreat has been in the cauldron of my womb for many years.
I was waiting to receive her permission and this year as I was training in Bali her spirit appeared to me, roaring for me to come back to her in sacred space
The time has come to give back to this island who has held me through so much, and bring women to her who will bless her and connect to her magical codes.

From slut shaming, to rape, to innocence being taken away from me, to saying yes when actually what my yoni wanted was to say no, to unfulfilled desires (just to name a few)… facing these parts of my story that were in the shadows of shame took immense courage.
I had a longing to be fully met and to be fully embraced in love for as long as I could remember.
It was one of the aspects of my life that brought me so much pain and so much longing.
I knew there was something more, I felt it in my body.
I knew my power and with that, my capacity of pleasure.
I dreamt of the ways my body could be embraced, loved and devoted to.
And I reached a point in my awakening journey where I couldn’t keep my spirituality and my sexuality separate anymore.
So I prayed, and I asked the Goddess to guide me, to give me the courage to face myself and with that came a great inner death. It was so scary.
Seeing now all the parts I had been avoiding, all the parts I had been scared to embrace as sacred.
The dark feminine was here, I felt her within.
She is not darkness, she is courageous.
And I realized if I don’t journey into these parts, if I don’t expand my capacity for feeling all of life within myself who else will? I decided I wasn’t going to wait to be “rescued” out of my seggsual trauma or disembodiment by a heavenly lover anymore but rather… I was first, going to become that lover.
And Tantra came into my life…
To be continued…

“It is a crucial moment for women, as we take ownership of our herstory and of the unconscious collective of the feminine psyche. Feminine energies that have been for long contained, flouted and trampled. Her body has retained the powerful contractions that run through her. Surrendering to the life forces that are beyond her. She consecrates herself as a channel. And giving birth to her new self becomes a cosmic experience. Your spirit now inspires & supports your life. You who show the way.”

“Rocking, undulating, swaying,
Carried by rhythm,
Cherish the streaming energy
Flooding your body
As a current of the divine.
Oh Radiant One,
Ride the waves of ecstatic motion
Into a sublime fusion
Of passion and peace.”
