5 Life Enhancing Reasons to go on Retreat

(Now More Than Ever)

In these unprecedented times, getting away from it all is more important than ever. Months of quarantine and life-changing measures have shaken us all, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Going on a retreat can pull us back from the brink of burnout by boosting health, well-being, mood, and vitality. Whether you’re a spiritual wanderer or just seeking a much-needed escape, here, we share five life-enhancing reasons to go on retreat.

1) You’ll embark on a voyage of self -discovery

From yoga and meditation workshops to holistic healing modalities in the serenity of nature, going on retreat is the ultimate way to begin your path to true self-discovery. Through heart-centered practices you’ll work with intention to attune to your higher self, realizing deeply who you are, what you want and what is no longer serving you. A retreat is an environment where you can explore yourself creatively, with open-mindedness and confidence to grow into the highest and greatest expression of who you came here to be.

2) You’ll find balance in the harmony of Mother Nature

What could be more healing than immersing yourself in the positive energy of natural surroundings? Amid the frenetic pace of our urban sprawls it’s so easy to lose touch and connection with the natural world. Whether bathing in the azure oceans in Costa Rica or surrounded by the magnificent mountains of the Andes in Peru , you’ll find an immense sense of inner peace and tranquillity.

3) You deserve (and need) a break

From the stresses of everyday living, to the uncertainty and disruption to our lives, there’s no one on the planet who doesn’t deserve a break right now. Prolonged stress can take a toll on our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing, but by taking time out on retreat you can fully switch off. On retreat is the time to gather your thoughts, fully decompress and focus on your health and wellbeing in solitude and peace.

4) You will nourish and reset your body, mind and spirit

As you settle into your retreat, your nervous system will begin to calm. Our minds and bodies are constantly on the go, with little time to switch off. Going on retreat hits the pause button on our lives, allowing the spaciousness to breathe deeply and just BE. By connecting to the Divine through sacred ceremonies, breath-work or eating organically, you’ll be giving your whole being the chance to reset fully. Once you forge a connection with yourself, you’ll remember how to love and forgive yourself (and others), which facilitates release of negative thought patterns.

5) You’ll forge life long friendships with amazing women

The power and strength of community should never be underestimated. Spiritual and personal growth needn’t be lonely, and on a women’s retreat you will connect with like-minded souls who’ll share the journey with you. Surrounded by people following the same path, you’ll build strong bonds and shed your baggage, without fear of judgement or shame. By attending a retreat — and embarking on a profound journey with other solo travelers who share your passion for spiritual growth — you’ll develop deep bonds of friendship that will last a lifetime.
