Eight days.

 

The magic of Italy.

 

The time and space to focus on YOU, with a powerful coaching program that brings you into alignment with your true self.

A truly exceptional villa shared with a small group of women, the perfect way to make life long connections.

 

You’ll go home with the tools you need to build a life you love, to deepen relationships, and connect with your purpose. 

What do you say? Will you join me?

This retreat is perfect for women who are ready to move forward into their best life – but need support in working through what it is and how to achieve it. 

 

Perhaps you:

 

  • Recently became an empty nester

  • Retired from your long-time career

  • Saw the end of an important relationship

  • Overcame a significant health issue

  • Moved to a new place

 

Or maybe you have a feeling deep down that

you want more from life.

No matter what your journey has been to this point, you’ll find your way forward in community with other compassionate women seeking their own paths.

Sicily

 

Sicily is the perfect backdrop for this one-of-a-kind retreat. 

 

Baroque cathedrals with their limestone facades shimmering in the brilliant sunshine. Terracotta rooftops above winding ancient alleyways. Culinary delights to engage all your senses. Crashing crystal clear waves of the Mediterranean Sea.

 

Thousands of years of history happening on one incredible island just waiting to welcome you in.

What better place to disconnect than a place that feels worlds apart?


I’m ready to pack my bags just thinking about it!

OUR VENUE

 

Set in the country side, near the coast and the town of Ragusa, Il Baglio della Sorgente is a private villa that exudes calm. The property is a converted winery and stables, and includes a pool and gardens.

Our world class villa host is The Thinking Traveller, six times winner of the Conde´ Nast Traveller Readers' Choice award.

 

Guests stay in airy, comfortable accommodations with options for private or shared bedrooms. This intimate venue offers just enough privacy while still allowing us to get to know each other and share a truly special experience!

I returned home with a full heart, grateful for everything I learned from Paula and the other amazing women and memories that will last a lifetime.

After Paula’s retreat I feel more confident with a sense of calm, joy and hope. The experience was better than I expected, hoped or imagined it could be.

 I could go on and on about how phenomenal this retreat is (and go into plenty more detail in the FAQ section) — but I’ll tell you something you need to know even more...

Thrive-Sedona-22 copy.png

If this trip is calling to you, it’s for a reason. I know you're ready to find out what it is.

This retreat is more than a trip. It's an opportunity to step out of your everyday life and gain clarity on where your journey will take you next.  

 

The woman who goes home from this retreat will be powerfully, beautifully different than the one who arrived.

 

This retreat is SOON. I've planned a once-on-a-lifetime itinerary where every detail is taken care of – so that you don't have to think about anything other than what you want to take away from this experience.

All you have to do is say YES.

 

To yourself today, and to the future self who's waiting to emerge. 

 

Just think – in a few weeks you could be gazing at the Mediterranean in the company of women as extraordinary as you are.

Sharing stories, delicious food, and new beginnings.

 

These spots are already going quickly, so grab your spot today!
