Lisa Camillo

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.
