Details

Join David Gandelman and Scott Stabile for an unforgettable 8-day retreat in Sardinia, Italy — one of the world’s rare Blue Zones, where longevity, vitality, and joy are woven into daily life. Our home for the week is Soul Valley, a sanctuary for deep transformation nestled among Sardinia’s rolling hills. Here, you’ll wake to panoramic views, unwind by the pool, and nourish yourself in an atmosphere designed for inner renewal — complete with a sauna, steam room, rejuvenating massages, and tranquil walking trails. Come immerse yourself in a space where time slows down, hearts open, and renewal feels effortless. The retreat includes meditation, optional yoga, a Qigong class, an evening of sound healing, a cacao ceremony, and multiple transformational breathwork sessions with Scott. You’ll also enjoy group teachings with David and Scott, as well as plenty of free time to relax, explore Soul Valley’s amenities, and take in the natural beauty of Sardinia. Three nourishing vegetarian meals are served daily, along with a snack bar and drinks available throughout the day. We’ll enjoy an optional group excursion to a stunning white-sand beach just a short drive from the center — the perfect chance to swim, unwind, and soak in the Mediterranean’s timeless beauty. This retreat is an invitation to rest, renew, and reconnect with what truly matters, surrounded by a supportive and like-hearted community.

Location

Torre Delle Stelle (Maracalagonis), Italy

The Metropolitan City of Cagliari, located on the beautiful island of Sardinia, Italy, serves as the island's capital and is a vibrant urban center rich in history and culture. Nestled along the southern coast, Cagliari is framed by stunning beaches like Poetto, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and lively beachfront. The city's landscape is dominated by the ancient hilltop Castello, a historic district that houses medieval walls, the majestic Cagliari Cathedral, and several museums that showcase the region's archaeological and artistic heritage. Cagliari is also known for its bustling markets, notably the Mercato di San Benedetto, offering a taste of local life with a variety of fresh seafood and Sardinian specialties. With its mix of modern amenities and old-world charm, coupled with the natural beauty of surrounding wetlands and flamingo-populated lagoons, Cagliari encapsulates the essence of Sardinian spirit and hospitality.

Testimonials

info

The full schedule of inner work, combined with plenty of time to pamper myself with massages and healthy food, was perfect. The mindfulness state I embraced during this time will never be forgotten. I gained so much insight into myself and made decisions to continue feeling the peaceful, open state of mind I reached in Indonesia. “You do not need to be in Bali to be in Bali” is my new mantra. My favorite destinations are not reached with my passport but with my mind. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who has been on a spiritual path for a long time, as well as to meditator-curious individuals just starting to immerse themselves in a beautiful journey.

Luana Helsinger, USA

Two exceptional teachers, fifteen wonderful individuals and a stunning location created an unforgettable experience. Scott and David are so knowledgeable and extremely generous with their time and attention. They created such a warm and welcoming environment that we instantly felt at home, at ease and part of something special. When Scott and David collaborate they create some kind of magic and there is no doubt that I will be attending another one of their retreats to be a part of that magic again. My heartfelt thanks for a truly memorable journey.

Natalia Ripsher, United Kingdom

It was a wonderful week in Bali with David and Scott. It was my first breathwork experience, and I was blown away by its effects. They both bring different experiences and modalities in an extremely harmonious way. The group was charming and gelled well together. After all, 7 days of 12 hours together, with intense sharing and baring your heart and soul, requires a lot of trust—and David and Scott provided that framework.
