LOCATION
Favignana is a small Italian island in the heart of the Egadi Archipelago. Just a couple of kilometers from Sicily's west coast, the island calls out to those looking for beauty still untouched. On Favignana time goes by so slowly and the Mediterranean pulses clear and alive.
Our accommodation is located by the sea, at a stone’s throw from the beach. You can admire the sea from your room and within minutes you’re in: diving into fifty shades of blue, breathing to the rhythm of the waves. The property is surrounded by nature, built with natural materials, in harmony with the elements.
All rooms come with a bathroom (one is shared) and a terrace overlooking the sea. You can book a room for yourself (single) or share it. There is a possiblity to camp outside and set up your own tent, but places are limited.
SWASTHA
Swastha means in the Sanskrit language of Ayurveda: Health / wellbeing.
It is coming to rest in oneself, inhabiting our own inner nature, being at home in your own landscape. Swastha or Svastha is the ultimate source of wellbeing within ourselves: the basis of your health, healing and happiness. It is a journey in mind, body and spirit. Swastha / health is also a state of awareness: it remains with us, always.
Healing is the nature of life.
The retreat aims to guide you trough the experience of personal health care by exploring your own nature and living in it accordingly, with awareness and self discovery.
YOGA
We start the day with ayurvedic yoga. Wake up in your body, savor its intelligence and nourish all the tissues. Compassion will guide you through the exploration of your body and mind landscape, giving it softness, opening and strength. Finding space and safety in yourself.
Alive within!
Sensing the morning light, fresh air, the sound and salty smell of the sea, we will connect the outer nature with our inner one.
A large wooden floor (pedana) with yoga mats and pillows (and a sail above for the sun) will support our yoga practice between earth and sky.
4-HANDS AYURVEDIC MASSAGE
You can book a series of four-hands massages. A four-hands treatment intensifies the effects of the massage and amplifies the experience.
Cleansing, realigning and strengthening.
A dance in your body between left and right, up and down, outer and inner, leading to deep rest.
Just like in the Yoga practice, we will get to the last corners of your body, leaving you more alive and with an expanded awareness.
DAILY AYURVEDA PRACTICE
You receive an Ayurveda beauty-case with 10 products for the full care of your senses.
Homemade organic products for your face, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and overall skin. Together we learn to apply them within an ayurvedic daily routine - bet you will not want to miss anymore - to
Clean your senses and nourish your body the natural way.
This will take us to several ayurvedic talks that we can enjoy at the fire place when night falls and the stars appear.
