Ischia Island, Italy
September 13–18, 2026

Co-created and co-led by: Ann Marie Carey & Rev. Joy M. Perugini

There are places in this world that don’t demand your attention.

They invite it.

Ischia is one of those places.

A volcanic island in the Bay of Naples, known for its mineral-rich thermal waters, winding stone paths, hidden coves, vineyards, and Mediterranean light that seems to soften everything it touches, Ischia offers the perfect backdrop for a week of movement, beauty, rest, and meaningful connection.

This is not a sightseeing sprint.

This is immersion.

Why We Gather Here

We created this retreat as an intentional exhale. A space to unwind from the pace of everyday life and immerse yourself in rhythm instead of rush.

Mornings begin with movement — grounding, breath-led, accessible practices designed to awaken gently.

Days unfold with shared breakfasts, island explorations, thermal bathing, seaside wandering, and slow meals that feel almost ceremonial.

You may find yourself:

• Soaking in the legendary thermal waters of Negombo Thermal Park
• Exploring the breathtaking island of Capri
• Wandering cobblestone streets and seaside villages
• Swimming in the Mediterranean
• Resting in the spa, on a terrace, or beneath endless blue sky

And always… returning to yourself.

The Energy of the Week

This retreat is intentionally balanced.

Structured, but never rigid.

Curated, but never crowded.

Sacred, but grounded in simplicity.

We gather as a supportive group of like-hearted humans, yet you’ll always have space for solitude, reflection, or spontaneous exploration. You are not here to perform wellness. You are here to receive it.

Movement, Beauty & Belonging

Daily yoga and embodied practices will anchor our time together — gentle morning activation and optional evening sessions to integrate the day.

Between excursions and experiences, there will be space to:

• Journal
• Swim
• Nap
• Wander
• Sit in stillness
• Connect in conversation

The magic of Italy is not loud. It is sensory.

Sunlight on sand.

Footsteps on cobblestone.

The hush of mineral waters.

The clink of glasses at sunset.

It reminds us that transformation doesn’t require force. Only presence.
