Camping Trip Planning -- Hidden Gems of Western Sicily
I grew up in these roads. Tell me how many days and what you like -- beaches, ruins, wine, or all three -- and I'll plan your route with campsites, wild spots (shh), best restaurants, and fuel stops. Includes offline maps and my personal phone number for when you inevitably get lost in Segesta at sunset.
Yacht Day Trip -- Trapani to Favignana
A full day on my 42-foot sailing yacht. Trapani marina to Favignana island and back. Swim stops, lunch on board, sunset return. I captain. You relax. Maximum 6 guests. Bring sunscreen and a good attitude.
Baking with Sally -- Learn to Make Sicilian Cookies
I've been baking Sicilian cookies for 20 years. Amaretti, biscotti, chocolate chip -- the real recipes, not the shortcut ones. My kitchen, my rules, my playlist. Full day course: 8am to 6pm. You bring the appetite, I bring the flour. Currently mentoring Sofia Ferretti -- she's 17 and already better than me at biscotti. Next class: Saturday March 7, 2026.
Healthcare Leadership -- Fighting Bureaucracy
Small group (max 5). How to reform a system from within. Build alliances, collect irrefutable data, present visually, lobby relentlessly, and never take no from someone who lacks the authority to say yes.
Data Visualization Workshop -- Make Numbers Speak
I invented the polar area diagram to show Parliament that soldiers died from bad sanitation. Numbers in a table are ignorable. Numbers in a picture are undeniable. Bring your data. Leave with a visual argument.
Relativity Explained -- Thought Experiments for Everyone
Two-hour session. No equations (well, one equation). I'll explain special and general relativity using the same thought experiments I used to discover them. Riding a beam of light. Trains and lightning strikes. Falling elevators. If you can imagine it, you can understand it. Tip: Relativity is not abstract. Your GPS uses it. Without relativistic corrections, your navigation would be off by 10 kilometers per day.
Scientific Method Workshop -- Question Everything
Small group (max 6). Hands-on experiments: pendulums, inclined planes, falling objects. We'll replicate my actual experiments from the 1600s. You'll learn to form hypotheses, design experiments, collect data, and draw conclusions. Aristotle said heavy objects fall faster than light ones. I proved him wrong. You'll prove him wrong too, with your own hands.
Tabletop Printing Press (Working Replica)
Working replica of a 15th-century screw press, scaled to tabletop size. Wooden frame, iron screw, leather ink balls. Comes with a starter set of lead type (Textura blackletter) and oil-based ink. Print your own pages. The same mechanism that ended the Dark Ages, now in your kitchen.
Self-Education Mentoring -- The Bookbinder Path
One-on-one mentoring for anyone without a formal science education who wants to learn. I had no degree, no university, no connections. I had a library and a willingness to work harder than anyone in the room. I will help you build a self-study plan and find your Humphry Davy -- the person who opens the first door.
Night Navigation Workshop -- Follow the North Star
Navigating by stars, moss, river direction, and landmarks in total darkness. I moved hundreds of people through swamps and forests at night with no map. The North Star was our compass. The drinking gourd song was our code. Tip: Move when the dogs cannot track -- in rain, through water, downwind. The night is your friend if you know her.
