3 Days Slow Love Retreat — A Couples Weekend in Sardinia
San Pantaleo, Province of Sassari, Italy
Up to 6 in group
August 22 - 24, 2025
Retreat Highlights
- ✨ Private Sound Bath Journey - Sink into deep relaxation together with a meditative sound bath using Crystal singing bowls — harmonising mind, body and heart, and opening space for authentic connection.
- 🍝 Pasta‑making Workshop - Step into the heart of Italian tradition with our hands‑on pasta workshop, where you’ll learn to craft iconic Sardinian and Italian pastas from scratch.
- Guided by your hosts in our villa’s open kitchen, you’ll discover the slow ritual of kneading, shaping, and creating — an art passed down through generations.
- ✨ From dough to table: after the workshop, we gather around a shared table to enjoy the fresh pasta we’ve made together, paired with local sauces and wines. It’s not just about cooking — it’s about laughter, connection, and tasting the true soul of Sardinia.
- ✨ Couples Breathwork & Body Awareness - Led by Mathieu, an experienced kinesiologist and plant medicine therapist, to help you release tension, become more present, and rediscover each other through conscious touch and breath.
- ✨ Creative Reflection & Journaling Ritual - Guided by Lisa, inviting each of you to explore your love story, values, and shared dreams — then share and witness each other in a gentle circle, deepening trust and intimacy.
- ✨ Blue Lotus & Sardinian Herbal Ritual - A heart-opening experience using natural botanicals known for their calming, connective properties — creating space for emotional openness and tenderness.
- ✨ Slow Food Dining - Enjoy candlelit dinners of Sardinian and French-inspired, seasonal cuisine — lovingly prepared by your hosts, using local, pesticide-free produce and pure, fluoride-free well water.
- ✨ Nature & Sea Immersion - Unwind by the pool overlooking the Costa Smeralda sea, walk among wild junipers and granite rocks, or explore nearby beaches — moments to reconnect both as a couple and within nature’s embrace.
- ✨ Hike to Monte Moro Lookout - For those who love to move and explore together, we’ll guide you to the breathtaking Monte Moro — rising 422 meters above the Costa Smeralda coastline. A short panoramic hike leads you to one of the most unforgettable views in the entire Mediterranean:
- • The Gulf of Arzachena, Maddalena Archipelago, Tavolara, Capo Figari, and all the way to Corsica.
- • Surrounded by ancient granite towers and lush Mediterranean scrub, where rosemary, wild lavender, and myrtle scent the air.
About this Retreat
Filmmaker • Anthropologist • Meditation & Self-Development Guide
Australian–Sardinian filmmaker, anthropologist, and storyteller, Lisa Camillo brings a rare depth of cultural knowledge and human empathy to every retreat she leads. Drawing on years of work with Aboriginal communities in Australia, ancestral Sardinian traditions, and teachings from the Amazon, Lisa guides guests on journeys that blend ancient wisdom with modern self-discovery.
As a yoga and meditation facilitator, she creates gentle, inclusive spaces where guests can slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with their true selves. Her workshops often weave journaling, creative reflection, and soulful conversation — helping each participant explore where they are, where they wish to go, and what may be holding them back.
A lifelong traveller, author and award-winning documentary filmmaker, Lisa’s gift lies in storytelling: not just the stories she tells on screen, but the stories she helps others see and rewrite within themselves. Guided by deep empathy and respect for different cultures, she believes real transformation happens quietly — in moments of honesty, shared laughter, and stillness.
At Sacro Cactus Villa, Lisa invites guests to pause, reflect, and rediscover what truly matters, supported by nature, community, and the timeless rhythms of Sardinia.
Chiropractor / Applied Kinesiologist • Plant Medicine-Assisted Therapist • Slow Living Guide
Born in France and shaped by years living in South America, Mathieu is a healer who brings together science, ancient plant knowledge, and a grounded, deeply human warmth.
A certified chiropractor, kinesiologist, and plant medicine–assisted therapist, Mathieu’s work bridges modern bodywork with ancestral wisdom. Under the guidance of a Shiripuno shaman in the Amazon, he studied the sacred use of local healing plants, and now gently integrates that knowledge into his retreats — always rooted in respect, safety, and authenticity.
Mathieu helps guests reconnect with their bodies, unlock tension, and cultivate inner calm. In the kitchen, his love of slow living shines through seasonal, wholesome dishes inspired by Sardinia’s blue zone secrets and French cuisine— made to nourish, delight, and heal, but incredibly tasty.
What truly sets Mathieu apart is his presence: calm, steady, and deeply empathetic. Guests often say they feel immediately at ease, seen without judgment, and gently supported to reconnect — not just with their bodies, but with their own natural rhythm and vitality.
At Sacro Cactus Villa, Mathieu welcomes each guest as part of the family, offering a space where ancient knowledge, mindful movement, and heartfelt connection come together to restore body and spirit.
Nina Deiana, founder of Vagavoice, is a Sardinian-born voice artist, actress, songwriter, and certified sound healer with over 20 years of experience exploring the liberating and transformative power of sound and voice.
Through intimate voice circles, vocal liberation workshops, and immersive sound journeys, Nina guides participants to tap into their most authentic voice, a pure sound rooted in presence, truth, and embodied essence. Her approach combines toning, intuitive vocal release, ancient mantras, light language and the vibrational resonance of quartz crystal singing bowls, creating powerful spaces for release, realignment, and deep healing.
Inspired by the sacred feminine lineage and ancestral sound wisdom of her native Sardinia, a land shaped by matriarchal traditions and rich in sacred sonic heritage, Nina honours the voice as a sacred, identifying force. In her work, the voice becomes a gateway to soul language: a living vibration that opens pathways to intuition, presence, and personal transformation.
Through sound and silence, resonance and release, Nina invites you to reconnect with the power of your female ancestry and to liberate the unique, original frequency of your own pure voice, that raw ancestral vibration that lives within us and carries the memory of who we are.

Slow Love Retreat is an intimate weekend for couples who want more than a holiday — they want to reconnect, reflect, and truly slow down.

Guided by hosts Lisa and Mathieu — partners in life and in soul — this retreat isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about remembering why you chose each other, and discovering new ways to be together.
Limited to just a few couples, it’s a space for real conversation, quiet laughter, and slow, lasting love and new couples' friendships.
