Day breaks over the Enchanted Valley. The gentle hum of your breath and the soft lilt of birdcall are the only sounds, and yet, something magical, something potent, is stirring.
This is your day. Your gift.
This is your Sanctuary.
Are you ready?
Immerse yourself in an intimate setting for 5 nights and 6 days of sacred self-care at Eremito, a modern day hermitage and luxurious eco hotel in the spiritual heart of Italy. This retreat is thoughtfully designed for the modern, busy woman who yearns to connect with her own innate feminine wisdom and intuitive knowing.
No woman needs another to do list. The concept of Sanctuary is an exploration and invocation of what it means to truly love and care for Self — extending far beyond a set of practices. Our shared intention will be to plant these seeds and create a foundation from which self-care becomes a moment to moment practice — intuitive, adaptable, and as unique as you are — a way to live and breathe in harmony with nature and in reverence for this sacred life

- Dawn & Dusk Body Temple Practices of deep yoga, movement, and meditation

Who we are
Sheila and Alexandra are friends, soul sisters, yoginis and mamas who have dedicated their path to the practice and embodiment of Yoga, well beyond the execution of postures on a mat. Though the grace and beauty of embodied prayer through asana and movement is indeed a fundamental part of their path, for them Yoga must eventually filter into each and every aspect of one’s life, from the way we take care of ourselves on a day to day basis, to the way we communicate with others and make important choices and decisions in life.
For the Sanctuary Winter Immersion, their shared intention is to create a cauldron of transformation in which each woman present can experience her own inner wisdom and soul-resonance whilst being held in sacred space.
