Sicily: Taste Your Desire Expansion Retreat 2026















Nourish your sensual soul with Back to the Body™
April 17 - 24, 2026 in Sicily
Culinary explorations will tantalize your taste buds and awaken your senses. Embodiment practices and daily sessions will deepen your connection to your body, enhancing your capacity for pleasure and presence. Drop into a sensual awakening to rediscover and celebrate your sensual self in the gorgeous environment of the Sicilian countryside.
Nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
Open to 12 women, Taste Your Desire is a chance to experience the sensual in flavor, sunlight, ancient landscapes, and new desires, at a gorgeous location in Sicily. With everything you expect from a Back to the Body retreat and so much more, Taste Your Desire will be held at a private villa in the south-eastern Sicilian countryside, a historic residence built between 1600 - 1800 and recently renovated with the care and collaboration of local Sicilian artisans, nestled among citrus groves. In their own words, Casa di Melo says, "we want to share with our guests our history and our way of living in harmony with what surrounds us. An experience that is centuries old but that we want to make current. We believe that the combination of a rich land, a generous sun and the love for what we do is the only way to enjoy the fruits of our labor. For this reason we believe in sharing our experiences."
Indulge in a journey where rich flavors and ancient landscapes intertwine with the depths of your sensuality. Awaken to pleasure possibilities among the treasures of Sicily.
