Rediscover your essence and find flow when you join this one-of-a-kind collaborative culinary adventure with Peggy Markel and transformational coach Ashley Wick.
On this 6-day sail through the Pontine and Phlegraean islands off the Italian coast of Napoli, be ready to go somewhere new, and go deep.
Once we enter the inner current of our being, we will learn how to harness the wind so it will take us where we want to go. There is such a thing as the direct path, but most of us have to tack (a sailing term) along the zig zag way of the cosmos to accommodate change as we navigate who we are becoming. Our natural intelligence is inherent. Be in the moment with the elements as they guide us like the stars in the sky.
We’ll meander from cove to harbor on a 60-foot private sailboat and sample the local luxuries of each port. Simple, fresh dishes are drawn from specialized agricultural traditions. Lemon groves flourish above each village. Surrounded by the sea, we focus on fish and folklore. We settle with ease into our captain’s expert handling of water and wind. We’ll play in the kitchen. Sprawl on the sun-bleached deck and dive into the sea as we anchor at each cove. We’ll explore the islands on foot. Suddenly: a sense of harmony.
Going with the wind is part of the lesson of letting go and seeing yourself and the world with fresh eyes. So often we forget how alive we truly are – we can carry on just surviving instead of really living. Remind yourself of the juice of life by reconnecting to your unique dharma through nourishing food and personal inquiry.
Who are you, really?
What wants to come through you?
What’s next?
We will explore these questions through a meaningful program of intimate group coaching sessions, guided introspection, somatic practice, and celebration.
You will learn to harness your energy and tap new wells of creativity by honoring your natural gifts – your genius. Yes, you have Genius! With renewed direction and sense of self, you will experience a more exquisitely alive and aware version of yourself.
This programming will illuminate the best that lives in you so you can chart a path that’s true to you.
It’s time to embrace your true north and set sail.
We are calling all spirited, curious women to join us in the radiant energy of the summer as we explore outer and inner landscapes, the beauty of the Med, her foods and her sea. If you long for transformative, off-the-beaten path travel, take your place at our floating table.
