June 4th-9th ‘25 | South-East Sicily
Join this 6-day transformational retreat where ambitious minds find balance: A revolutionary retreat that turns your drive into lasting energy.
A Journey to Re:center Your Energy
Imagine six transformative days in the ancient heart of Sicily.
Movement. Healthy Food. Mindfulness. Growth.
A chance to re:calibrate your life through expert-guided sessions that blend cutting-edge wellness practices with timeless wisdom.
Discover a revolutionary approach to energy management in an exclusive Sicilian retreat designed for high-achieving professionals. This isn’t just another wellness program – it’s a transformative journey that will help you re:center your body, mind, and spirit.
Your mornings begin with gentle awakening practices as golden sunlight streams through carob trees. In our open-air pavilion, the warm morning air energizes your body during guided movement sessions, setting a tone of vitality for the day ahead.
Mid-mornings find you engaged in transformative workshops, whether you’re exploring neuroscience-based stress management techniques or participating in group coaching sessions. These sessions take place in light-filled rooms where modern comfort meets historic architecture.

Afternoons unfold with intentional experiences, from mastering the art of mindful Mediterranean cooking to exploring the depths of transformative breathwork practices. Your journey extends beyond our villa walls to the soul-stirring beauty of UNESCO-listed Baroque towns, where the timeless splendor of Scicli, Modica, Ragusa Ibla, or Noto awaits.
As the sun begins its descent, gather with fellow participants for healthy and tasty dinners on our terrace. Here, under the stars, conversations flow naturally, connections deepen, and insights are shared over exquisite Mediterranean cuisine prepared by our local chef.
In the quiet moments between activities, you’ll discover peaceful nooks throughout the property – a hidden bench beneath a flowering jasmine, a quiet courtyard perfect for journaling, or a sunny spot by the pool overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Each day builds upon the last, weaving together physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional well-being.
This isn’t just time away from your busy life – it’s an immersive journey into the person you’re meant to become.

Designed for High-Achievers Like You
Like you, we once were driven leaders who faced the demands of success head-on. Almost a decade later, we found the vitality, clarity, and purpose we’d been seeking.
And here we share it in a compact yet comprehensive style.
This experience is for You if:
- You feel physically and mentally drained despite outward success.
- You value personal growth and are ready to invest in your well-being.

- You’re seeking a structured yet holistic approach to reclaim energy, clarity, and vitality.

This experience is NOT for You if:
- You’re looking for a purely luxury vacation without personal growth elements.
- You’re not open to exploring mindfulness, somatic practices, or personal reflection.
- You’re unwilling to step outside your comfort zone or engage in new experiences.
- You’re searching for quick fixes rather than sustainable lifestyle changes.
- You’re not prepared to commit to a program that blends effort and ease in equal measure.

Your hosts
Hi, we're Ketty & Markus.
Your Chief Energy Officers with a capital E
My name is Ketty, I am a certified nutrition coach with an automotive corporate background. And as a true Sicilian, I am obsessed with food.
To help my clients drop excessive weight, feel fully energized, and love being in their own skin, I combine my passion for food with my knowledge and experience in nutrition and holistic fitness.
Markus and I co-founded The Energy Lab not just as an online fitness hub, but a place where purpose-driven high-achievers can cultivate healthy living as the foundation for next-level business performance and impact.
Hey, my name is Markus, burnout brought me on the path of holistic fitness, mindfulness, and personal growth.
2018 I got certified as an RYT 200 Hatha Yoga Instructor in Rishikesh, India. Since then, I’ve been helping entrepreneurs rediscover and reconnect with their body and mind.
Over the past 8 years, I used my own struggles and former injuries to build a unique skill set that helped me and countless others develop a strong, resilient, and pain-free body, a deeper understanding of self, and consciously create powerful forward motion in life and business.

Sicily: Where Time Slows Down
Sicily is more than a place; it’s a feeling. One that stays with you long after you leave.
Sampieri, a jewel of southeastern Sicily, invites you to experience life in its purest form. Picture ancient stone houses, their sun-warmed facades whispering stories of the past. The air carries the saltiness of the Mediterranean, blending with the sweetness of blooming citrus groves. This is where the frenetic pace of modern life dissolves into the timeless rhythm of the island.

Here, you’ll walk along golden sands that stretch endlessly along the coastline. The sea sparkles under the Sicilian sun, inviting you to plunge into its crystalline embrace. Narrow streets in nearby towns lead to hidden treasures—markets bursting with fresh produce, artisans crafting ceramics, and locals greeting you with a smile and a story.
Sampieri isn’t just a destination; it’s a return to what matters most.
Surroundings:
- Beaches: Sampieri’s expansive shoreline offers both solitude and charm. Explore its pristine sands or relax to the sound of waves gently breaking.
- Scicli: Just minutes away, this UNESCO World Heritage site enchants with baroque architecture and winding alleys.
- Natural Beauty: Olive groves, rolling hills, and the glow of Sicilian sunsets create a landscape as vibrant as a painting.
