BOOK YOUR SPOT!Soul Valley Sardinia
Sardinia is one of only five official Blue Zones in the world. A place where people live longer, healthier lives, deeply connected to nature and community.
Our retreat will be held at Soul Valley, a sanctuary for transformation just a short ride from the Mediterranean Sea. With elegant accommodations, panoramic sea views, a sparkling pool, and spa amenities including Finnish and infrared saunas, a Turkish bath, and walking trails, Soul Valley was designed to help you melt into peace, stillness, and joy.
We’ll have the entire property exclusively for our group, ensuring a truly private and immersive experience.
The 8 days I spent with David and Scott were absolutely transformational!
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.

A Note From David and Scott
As we envisioned our next retreat, Sardinia quickly revealed itself as the perfect destination. Its balance, vitality, and harmony mirror what we hope to create together: rest, renewal, and rejuvenation.
David visited Soul Valley this summer and was deeply moved by its beauty and serenity. With elegant rooms, gourmet vegetarian meals, and gathering spaces designed for transformation, it feels like a sanctuary created just for this kind of experience.
This will be our fifth retreat together. Each one has been uniquely special, filled with laughter, connection, and unforgettable moments. Sardinia promises to be all of that and more, a chance to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with a like-hearted community.
We can’t wait to share this week of soul renewal with you.
With love,
— David and Scott
Why Sardinia?
Sardinia is more than a destination, it’s a way of life. Known as a Blue Zone, Sardinia is home to some of the longest-living people on Earth. Their secret? A slower pace, deep community ties, and a natural rhythm of living close to the land.
Immersing yourself in this environment naturally invites your body and spirit into balance. From the turquoise waters and rugged coastline to the rolling hills and timeless villages, Sardinia is a place where rest and renewal don’t just happen, they’re woven into the very fabric of the island.

"Scott and David are so knowledgeable and extremely generous with their time and attention"
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.

"It was a wonderful week in Bali with David and Scott"
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.

Scott Stabile
Scott is the author of Enough as You Are and Big Love: The Undeniable Joy of Following Your Heart, and Just Love. A friend once referred to him as a love activist, and that’s a description he happily owns. He writes, speaks, and gives workshops on a lot of subjects — authenticity, trust, fear, compassion, joy, intention, visualization, conditioning, and, of course, love and self-love — always with the intention of reminding you that you are a worthy, whole and loved human being. As is everyone else. He makes a lot of noise for the power of love, and not from naivety. His head isn’t in the clouds. He believes love is our greatest healer, and with it at the root of our words and actions, we stand to create real healing in ourselves and our world.
Breathwork beautifully supports all aspects of healing and can be, when we allow it, a direct path to deeper self-love and acceptance. It's with wild enthusiasm and belief that he offers breathwork facilitation in his current work.
