4 Days Women Retreat in Sardinia - A Self-Documentary Journey

Led by award-winning filmmaker, anthropologist and storyteller Lisa Camillo, this intimate workshop guides you to explore your life story through a new lens — literally.

With just your phone and your voice, you’ll learn how to create a short, personal documentary: a creative practice that helps you see your narrative outside your own mind.
It’s not about technique or being a filmmaker; it’s about discovering what your journey looks and feels like when witnessed with compassion and curiosity.

This gentle process can spark:
✨ New clarity on past patterns or blocks
✨ A sense of authorship and empowerment over your narrative
✨ Fresh confidence to express your truth and share your voice.
At the end, we’ll gather in a supportive circle (sharing is always optional) to witness each woman’s piece — a beautiful moment of connection, empowerment and release.

🌿 Why we offer this:
At Sacro Cactus Villa, we believe healing isn’t only found in silence and stillness, but also in creation and self-expression.
As a filmmaker and anthropologist, Lisa has witnessed the quiet power of seeing one’s own story told from the outside: it brings distance, compassion, and sometimes even surprising acceptance.
By turning reflection into an act of creation, we help women step into authorship of their own narrative — transforming what once felt heavy into something new, beautiful and fully their own.

What we offer:

To awaken the body, center your breath, and open creative flow.
