A Detox Retreat That Supports Emotional and Mental Wellbeing
This detox retreat is designed to help you gently release emotional overload, mental fatigue, and patterns that no longer serve you. The experience offers a grounded and compassionate approach to renewal, supported by trained psychotherapists and counsellors. Through mindful structure, nourishing food, reflective practices, and guided therapeutic sessions, participants are given the space to slow down and reconnect with themselves safely.

Alongside this process, the mindful retreat elements are intentionally gentle, focusing on awareness, breath, and ease rather than performance. The combination allows both body and mind to soften without pressure. Set within the calm surroundings of Sicily, the retreat environment supports rest, clarity, and emotional regulation. This is a space where detox happens through presence, understanding, and self-compassion, not force. Each day is held with intention while remaining flexible, so participants can engage at a pace that feels right for their individual needs.
A Counselling Retreat Rooted in Mindfulness and Therapeutic Care
This retreat is grounded in mindfulness and therapeutic awareness rather than intensity or physical demand. At Mindercise, movement is slow, accessible, and designed to support nervous system regulation and emotional safety. Practices are thoughtfully woven together with counselling sessions, group reflection, and mindful daily routines, creating a sense of continuity and stability throughout the retreat.

The detox retreat element unfolds naturally as participants reduce external stimulation, reconnect with bodily signals, and establish healthier internal rhythms. Silence, gentle stretching, mindful walking, and meditation are offered as invitations rather than obligations. Trained facilitators are present to guide and support participants, especially when emotions surface. By integrating psychotherapy, and mindful living, the retreat encourages sustainable change built on consistency, care, and self-trust rather than short-term relief.

Our Purpose
Our purpose is to help people rediscover their self-worth and inner peace through the integration of mindfulness and psychotherapy. We offer a safe, restorative space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. Guided by trained therapists, this retreat combines evidence-based therapeutic practices with mindful awareness, gentle movement, and connection to nature. Our goal is for each person to leave feeling renewed—grounded in self-acceptance, strengthened by understanding, and confident in their ability to move through life with compassion and authenticity. 


A Safe and Structured Retreat Experience in Sicily
Set in the peaceful surroundings of Castellammare del Golfo, this detox retreat offers a calm and restorative environment where participants can step away from daily pressures. The location supports the intention of the counselling retreat by encouraging simplicity, presence, and connection with nature. Days are gently structured with morning mindfulness, therapeutic group work, individual counselling, and time for rest and reflection. Evenings invite integration through discussion, mindful walking, and quiet observation by the sea. The retreat is facilitated by qualified professionals who prioritise emotional safety, clear boundaries, and respectful pacing.

This structure allows participants to feel supported while maintaining autonomy and choice. The experience is particularly suited to those seeking emotional clarity, stress relief, and reconnection without overwhelm. By combining professional care with a serene setting, the retreat offers a grounded path toward balance and renewed self-understanding.


Morning Activities
After a mindful movement exercise of very light stretching, we all have a silent breakfast to prepare ourselves for a group activity each day, which includes art therapy, assertiveness and confidence training, reframing, mindfulness teaching, or shadow integration, led by our psychotherapists and coaches until lunch at 1pm.
Afternoon
After lunch our afternoon is made up of 1-2-1 individual sessions with a counsellor on your personal and private issues, poolside relaxation, snacks and drinks, reading. and thoughts of our daily mind frames.
Evening
Experience transformation in the company of compassionate experts.
Our evenings start at 6pm with a group discussion on the day's mind frame until dinner is served at 7:30pm.
Then we head out to an idyllic location by the beach for a beautiful evening of mindful walking and meditation. Wednesday evening we head out to a panoramic Italian restaurant by the sea front. and explore the old town of Castellammare del Golfo.
