YOUR EXPERIENCE
Olivemoon Permaculture is a regenerative agriculture and natural building project on the North-West coast of Sicily, started in 2022 by Bea and Lino, an Italo - German couple who went looking for a slower life.
Nestled in the mountains of Custonaci and overlooking the beautiful sea of the Natural Reserve of Monte Cofano, the plot is roughly 1,5 hectares fully immersed in nature, right by a natural oak forest, with peaceful sea and mountain view and no neighbours.
Olivemoon is becoming an off grid self sufficient homestead, where to grow food, have animals and build with ancient techniques. It can be reached in 1 hour by car from both the airports of Palermo and Trapani.
The farm provides several quiet and nice corners to read, lie in the sun or relax. The ancient oak trees and the terraces are favourite spots. A hike in the virgin oak forest is a must for anyone looking for an energetic recharge.
Our hosts will provide us with wholesome vegetarian meals prepared with local, organic, and seasonal ingredients. Whether you have dietary preferences or restrictions, they've got you covered. Their meals are carefully designed to provide sustained energy throughout the day, perfectly complementing the flow of our retreat activities

VALENTINA
With 20 years of experience as a dancer, movement and body exploration have always been at the heart of my journey. This deep connection to my craft has driven me to study various body therapies, including Remedial Massage, Traditional Thai Massage, Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage, and Zenthai Shiatsu.
In 2023, I completed Zenthai Shiatsu Flow training, which has allowed me to facilitate Zenthai-related workshops in Bali, Italy, and the UK, in addition to teaching yoga flow classes. Alongside these practices, I have been deeply engaged in traditional and ancient ways of connecting with nature and our surroundings, integrating that as a very important aspect of how I live and create ritual into my life. This deep reverence is something I like to convey through my teachings.
This path has not only equipped me with a diverse range of therapeutic tools but also played a crucial role in my personal healing. Through this transformative journey, I have gained a profound understanding of the importance of creating a safe and nurturing space for others.

ANDREA
After attending a master's degree in sports physiotherapy in Italy while working as a physiotherapist for a top national league Italian rugby team (I Medici of Florence) I made the decision to leave my home country to explore myself and the world.
During my travels in south-east Asia I decided to delve into the studies of Thai massage (northern school style) which subsequently led me to discover the art of Zenthai Shiatsu in Australia. After completing the 9 months therapist training, I travelled to India and attended a 200-hours yoga teacher training in traditional Hatha yoga.
I aspire to keep learning and deepen my practices and I am very passionate about sharing the teachings I have acquired in the past years. I believe touch and movement are vital and cruicial elements through which we can support our healing process at all levels, physical, energetic and spiritual.
