October Cummari Women’s Retreat
This retreat is designed for women seeking not just a getaway, but a holistic journey—one that fosters deeper connections with themselves while exploring the ancient wisdom of Mediterranean and local Goddess cultures.
Throughout your stay, you’ll participate in hands-on workshops led by local women and our host, Chef Lulu—Egypt’s first female olive oil sommelier. She’ll guide you through the fundamentals of Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for its nourishing qualities that support both body and soul.
Learn to craft traditional Egyptian and Sicilian recipes passed down through generations, discover the art of natural winemaking, and master how to identify high-quality olive oil—all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sicily.
“Michelle provides a sacred space for women who are traveling on their own. I have encountered so many amazing multi-cultural women with one core essence in mind, soul growth and coming together as a community of powerful women.”
— Nicole, Cummari Guest

Cummari is an inclusive environment. Historically women have not always been/felt safe when travelling solo and for this reason we prioritize guests who identify as female. With that being said, all genders and identities are welcomed and are vital to supporting Cummari's vision and existence. Learn more.
