Conscious escape - Sicily, Favignana Island:
from October 16 to 22, 2026
Join us for six days of energetic "reset", on the island of Favignana, in Sicily.
During this week, you will experience various practices designed to harmonize the main chakras: Yoga sessions (Vinyasa, Hatha, Pranayama, and Nidra) to support your physical, energetic, mental, and emotional bodies; singing circles to free your voice and open your heart; and moments of ecstatic dance to celebrate your creativity. We will be accompanied by the Italian musician Edoardo Tomada and his wonderful instruments (Tibetan singing bowls, Native American flutes, tong drum, drum, guitars, chimes, and other marvels). You will also have the opportunity to enjoy walks on the beach, for a moment of communion with nature. This retreat offers a profoundly enriching experience conducive to authentic connections with yourself and others.

OmShantiHome, a place to escape
OmShantiHome is located in Favignana, the butterfly-shaped island of the Egadi archipelago. The island manages to transport you completely away from the frenzy of the city: its crystal-clear waters, its tufa quarries, its breathtaking beaches, its hidden underground gardens, and its pure, healthy air… all of this will transport you to a parallel world, made of love and peace, reconnecting you with Nature.
OmShantiHome is a space to feel at home, to pause in the daily routine, to free yourself from external conditioning, and to give yourself the opportunity, the possibility, to listen to yourself. A place to rediscover that space of peace that already exists within each of us, from which the source of our inexhaustible creativity can spring.
Accommodation
The meals served are essentially vegetarian, based on local seasonal produce, 80% organic and sourced from short supply chains (km 0) .
A snack will be offered before practice (raw balls, chia pudding, oatmeal cookies), accompanied by coffee, tea, or herbal teas. Lunch and dinner are prepared according to macrobiotic principles. We are open to any food intolerances; simply let us know in advance. Non-vegetarian foods are not permitted inside OmShantiHome.
The food we eat is one of the sources from which we draw our energy: "we are what we eat." In our culture, food is as much in harmony with Mother Nature as possible, because there is a link between food choices, individual and cultural well-being, ecology, spirituality, beliefs, and the quality of human relationships. Nourishing ourselves therefore holds a central power in our material, cultural, and spiritual lives.

The Teacher
Pauline Robin is a lifelong artist, educator, and movement researcher. A graduate of the London Contemporary Dance School, her training led her to a profound integration of disciplines. With training in Natha, Vinyasa, and Yoga Nidra, she enriches her approach. As a teacher since 2012, she shares her knowledge with students of all ages. Her skills also extend to various massages (Ayurvedic, Hawaiian, and Lahochi), breathwork, and Pilates Matwork and Barre. Each encounter with artists and practitioners has shaped her unique vision of movement and being. Pauline also develops her research on the art of breath through the Respire company, for which she is the artistic director.
In 2022/2023, Pauline led around thirty week-long Yoga and Dance workshops with groups of 8 to 18 people. She currently lives in Rome, is a mother of a young boy, and teaches Yoga, sound healing, and fire ceremonies at the 5-star Six Senses hotel in Rome.
For astrology enthusiasts, she is a Gemini with a Cancer ascendant and her moon in Libra. In human design, she is a Manifestor (the fire starter) with the profile: the establisher of knowledge and truth.
"The relationship to the body, to oneself, to touch, to care are ways of freeing oneself and accepting oneself as one is. For me, "moving" is vital. Dance makes us feel alive, fair, and authentic."
Edoardo Tomada is the guest musician for this workshop who will accompany us live with various captivating instruments; he is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and composer originally from Rome.
He has over ten years of experience in live performance, both as a singer-songwriter and accompanist, as well as a sound engineer and producer, in concert and in the studio. He owns a vast collection of traditional and ethnic musical instruments. For the past few years, he has been handcrafting musical instruments, primarily flutes, but also other types of stringed and percussion instruments.
