The Brain Health Retreat in Western Sicily
October 27 - November 2
The Brain Health Retreat in Sicily, a deep dive into the Mediterranean lifestyle through the lens of brain health.
When and Where:
Palermo and Western Sicily: October 27 to November 2, 2024
Who:
Hosted by Brain Health Kitchen (that’s me!),
curated by Italian food expert Elizabeth Minchilli.
For the Western Sicily trip, we’ll be based in Palermo, one of my favorite cities in Italy. I am especially excited to be hosting a retreat in a place close to my family’s roots—my grandparents are from the mountains north of there and much of my family still lives in Palermo area. We’ll tour the sites of Palermo, a vibrant city famous for its street food. (Get ready to fall in love with chickpea fritters!) We’ll visit the salt mines of Marsala, ancient Greek temples, a hilltop town famous for almond-based treats, and visit with local chefs, cheesemakers, and artisans making hats, ceramics, and more.
There’s lots to see and do, but also plenty of time to explore on your own, shop, and rest. Each day we will explore a brain health theme as we wander the streets, linger over lunch and meet for Aperitivo Talks at the end of the day.
