Hello Lovely Souls,

I recently had the pleasure of attending and photographing a yoga retreat in the stunning landscapes of Sicily, hosted by my dear friend Alida from Kamla Yoga. This wasn’t our first retreat together, and over time, our professional relationship has blossomed into a cherished friendship. The theme of this magical long weekend was Sun and Moon – a perfect blend of energies that mirrored the breath-taking surroundings.

A Weekend of Balance and Harmony

Held at the wonderful and calming Zen Sicily, the retreat was a true sanctuary nestled among carob trees, rosemary labyrinths, and olive groves. Each morning began with rejuvenating yoga sessions led by Alida, as the golden sunrise cast a warm glow over our mats. The theme of balance and harmony was ever-present, not just in our yoga and meditation practices, but also in the rich conversations we had about life and community.

Nourishing Body and Soul

Our meals were a highlight, crafted from organic ingredients sourced directly from the Zen Sicily farm. Every bite was a reminder of the nurturing power of nature. We shared stories and laughter over these meals, further strengthening our sense of community.

Capturing the Essence

As a yoga and brand photographer, I had the incredible opportunity to document this retreat. The sunsets and sunrises were truly breath-taking, creating the perfect backdrop for capturing the essence of our experience. It was a joy to photograph the harmony between nature and our practices, freezing these precious moments in time.

Looking Ahead – Inner Radiance Retreat

I’m thrilled to announce that Alida and I are planning to return to Zen Sicily this autumn for the Inner Radiance Retreat, scheduled from 25th to 28th October. This retreat is all about Inner Radiance, Freedom, and Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs.
