Retreats

There really is no downside to going on retreat. A welcome and well-deserved escape from the urban jungle, a retreat offers a stress-free zone where your shoulders are finally able to drop from somewhere around your ears and your mind slows its rolladexing of chores, deadlines and responsibilities. You learn new skills, you bathe in vitamin D and various spa therapies, you delight in beautiful, tasty and nutritious food. And what’s best, it recharges you for a fresh perspective on life when you return home.

People retreat for as many reasons as there are retreats. The trick is to have an idea what you’re looking for and use the time you put your life on hold to kick start or speed up your physical fitness and flexibility, your mental peace, your emotional stability and spiritual healing. Sound like too much to ask for? Just escape your usual busy-ness, open yourself to healing and expect the unexpected.
