‘Retreat is not absence; rather, it is the search for a true presence.’
Georges Gusdorf
Our modern lives are non-stop. We can feel almost impossible to scramble together enough hours in the day to fit in work, the daily commute, chores, and moments with family and friends. Let alone finding the time to exercise, prepare healthy food, and look after ourselves! Our bodies can’t always keep up with this hectic rhythm, and periods of rest are becoming more and more critical.
A wellness retreat is a wonderful opportunity to step back from our usual routine and environment to invest time in ourselves and recharge our energy sources. Moreover, it will help you to find peace and strength to carry on our way of life. Sure, you can do this at home, but how often do we take the time that we truly need for ourselves without the interruption of our daily lives?
SEE BELOW OUR TOP 5 REASONS FOR JOINING IN A WELLNESS RETREAT EXPERIENCE:
1. REST, RECOVER, and REJUVENATE:
- Participating in a wellness retreat allows us to relax completely. Feel the weight of built-up stress and tension fall from your shoulders as you open yourself up to deep restoration. Leave the planning to us and truly enjoy the physical and emotional health benefits of the process!
2. DISCONNECT to RECONNECT:
- The wellness retreat experience allows us to open up and enjoy the restorative power of letting go by removing ourselves from our usual surroundings, routine, mindset, and mobile devices. You might just find the experience is life-changing and realize you need to do this far more frequently! To make the most of this experience, people enjoy entirely unplugging. To leave the job behind, shut down their technology, and allow themselves to be, to reconnect to yourself and to realise the goals for living.
3. REFLECTION:
- The wellness retreat also provides the perfect opportunity for us to reflect. We reflect on past decisions, actions, and thought processes. This also opens us up to manifesting and creating what we truly desire and aim to achieve in our lives.
4. BE INSPIRED:
- The wellness retreat experience itself is full of new experiences and information that will leave you feeling inspired! You have the opportunity to learn more about the right food, cooking, managing particular symptoms, or health conditions. In addition to that, you also discover how to enhance vitality and longevity through practicing yoga, mindful meditation, and experiencing new relaxing treatments.
5. RENEW:
- With your new-found enthusiasm and knowledge, you now have the power and skills to take your retreat learnings and experience home with you! During your stay absorb as much information and inspiration as possible (new exercise tips, stretches, food as medicine tips, ingredients to add to your grocery list, mindfulness techniques, etc.) and embrace the opportunity to implement more healthy habits into your everyday life!
