Re:shape body & mind.
Re:connect to yourself.

June 4th-9th ‘25 | Sicily, Italy

A Journey to Re:center Your Energy

 

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.

Imagine...

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.

Your hosts

Hi, we're Ketty & Markus.

Your Chief Energy Officers with a capital E

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.

Surroundings

Sampieri, 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—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 charm & tranquil vibes. Explore its pristine sands or relax to the sound of waves gently breaking.
  • Scicli: Just minutes away, this UNESCO World Heritage site is enchanted 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. You see the “muretti a secco” (dry/natural stone walls) structuring the landscape.
  • Cuisine: Sample freshly caught seafood, hand-rolled pasta, and mouthwatering local, seasonal vegetables in quaint seaside trattorias.

Seasonal Information

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.

Weather Information

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.
