June 4th-9th ‘25 | Sicily, Italy
Six transformative days in the ancient heart of Sicily, Italy.
Discover sustainable ways to recharge and maintain your physical and mental energy and performance while honoring your well-being.
Personal Growth. Mindfulness. Movement. Healthy Food.
Because sustained success requires personal balance.
Your mornings begin with gentle awakening practices as golden sunlight warms your skin in our open-air pavilion. Guided movement sessions set a tone of vitality for the day ahead.
After breakfast, you level up with expert-led workshops. Learn neuroscience-based stress management techniques or participate in group coaching sessions.
Afternoons unfold with intentional experiences. Mastering the art of mindful Mediterranean cooking or exploring the depths of transformative breathwork practices.
No worries. You’ll also discover 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 carob tree, 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.
Why settle for relaxation when you can experience true transformation?

Your Reset Awaits.
Feel the weight of exhaustion lift as your body re:connects with its natural energy.
Discover the power of stillness and focus to sharpen your mental clarity.
Rediscover the joy of being present—with others and with yourself.
…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.

to yourself, others, and the world around you.
My name is Ketty. I am a qualified nutrition coach with an automotive corporate background. As a true Sicilian, I am obsessed with food.
To help my clients reach their optimal weight, feel fully energized, and love being in their own skin, I combine my passion for the Mediterranean diet 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 also as 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.
In 2018, I became a RYT 200 Hatha Yoga Instructor in Rishikesh, India. Since then, I’ve been helping entrepreneurs rediscover and reconnect with their bodies and minds.
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, pain-free body, a deeper understanding of self, and consciously create powerful forward motion in life and business.
Markus Kneissl brings a refreshing approach to functional fitness, all designed to build a resilient, mobile, and pain-free body. What sets him apart is the focus on sustainability and real results, without the flashy gimmicks seen elsewhere. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to reinvest in their physical health and embrace a more empowered way of moving.
Bestselling Author, Psychologist
Markus doesn’t just offer a random workout plan—he actually teaches you how your body works and guides you to build a training program that grows with you. The assessment is super helpful for identifying focus areas and tracking monthly progress. I also love the emphasis on the breath and muscle visualization, which sets this system apart from other workout regimens l’ve tried.”
Legal Assistant, Creator
I’m working on finding balance and alignment in my life. Ketty helped me a lot with how to support myself energetically on the physical level and how to start figuring out how to feed and nurture myself and pay attention to my body, respect it, and cooperate with it to find the energy. I’m very grateful because of how she listened to me how she was open and truly put effort into helping me with personal recommendations according to my circumstances and how she provided full acceptance without any judgment, only looking for what can help to achieve my goals. I can warmly recommend their work, wishing for their support and help.
Operation & Management Expert
I’m a writer, which inevitably means a (mostly) sedentary lifestyle, which in turn brings challenges with energy, weight, and fitness. Working with Ketty was incredibly helpful — she’s full of knowledge and was empathetic, insightful, and warm in her approach. I’d thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their knowledge of nutrition, empower holistic health, and align the mind more closely with the body.
Award-Winning Executive Coach, Writer
There’s a lot of noise out there about health. Knowing where to look is essential. These guys know their stuff. For anyone looking to get fit the right way for life, this is a game changer. Couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you!
Marriage Mechanic, Coach
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—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.
June in Sampieri greets you with golden mornings and balmy evenings. The sun lingers, warming the sand and olive groves,
while gentle coastal breezes refresh the air. Wildflowers still bloom, painting the hills with vibrant colors. It’s the perfect season—quiet yet alive, inviting exploration and peaceful rejuvenation.
Early June brings warm, sun-drenched days and gentle breezes off the Mediterranean. Temperatures hover in the mid-20s°C (mid-70s°F), perfect for
exploring or relaxing. Evenings are cooler, inviting you to stroll under starlit skies. Rain is rare, and the air carries the scents of blooming wildflowers and the sea.
