Borgo Bonsigore Workshop - Stress Buster retreat in Sicily

View from the balcony

Experience five days of peace and spiritual awakening under the unique guidance of Annette Goldsmith (RHbTFMHI(UK), MARCH) and her partner Richard Green, amid the beautiful countryside and beaches of Sicily. Annette is a natural clairvoyant, psychic and spiritual healer with many years' experience as a teacher, healer and spiritual counsellor.

These courses will include eight workshops on spiritual healing, chakra healing, meditation, spiritual nutrition and astral travel. They will be held in and around the remote coastal village of Borgo Bonsignore in the heart of Sicily's orange country. Alternatively, you can simply relax and forget about the mad world around you. You will not be disturbed here - there is no television, no internet and no e-mail!

A typical bedroom

Accommodation for the weekend will be in a clifftop villa with spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding coast and countryside. The accommodation is comfortable but basic in shared rooms; we must point out that Sicily is still a developing country and power cuts are not infrequent.

All meals (included in the price) will be vegetarian, using the best local and organic products.

All participants will be expected to assist in light duties such as food preparation, as part of the experience of working together is to better understand the unity of spirit. A reasonable degree of physical fitness is required as several of the workshops are outdoors and will involve walking down a steep path to the beach or forest.

Outside under the orange trees

The format of each course will vary from day to day and depending on the weather, as several of the workshops take place outdoors. Although Sicily's weather is mostly wonderful, the oranges do appreciate a few days of rain and the evenings at this time of year can be cold. Therefore please ensure that you pack a waterproof coat, warm clothing and sensible footwear. There is nowhere to go out so you will not need to dress up.

The course format is:

Day 1 - Arrival and introductory evening.

Days 2-5 - Early morning guided meditation (optional), then a walk (at 8am) through the village or to the beach. This is followed by breakfast, then the first day's workshop before lunch. There is some free time after lunch followed by two afternoon workshops, with a break with refreshments in between. The main evening meal rounds off the day.

Day 6 - Early morning meditation before breakfast, then a farewell meeting before transfer to the airport.

The beach nearby

The course fee is inclusive of all accommodation, workshops and meals, and also includes transfers to and from Palermo airport.

Places are strictly limited to 4 persons per course, so there will be plenty of space and you will be assured of personal attention at all times.
