Retreats
Retreats - who doesn’t want to go one?! We All want to go on one!!
The reality though, is that many of us our too busy to go on one or we can’t afford it. Right! Yup the time it takes to organise the kids, the hubi, babysitters with granny if you’re lucky enough to have one near by, the dog, work, and ultimately the cost. Plus don’t forget to mention the time. So too often many of us will see retreats pop up on line and think ‘ I wish I could do that but I can’t,’ well the good news is you can!!
In the summer I really wanted to go on a retreat. Somewhere I could sit, meditate, breathe, do some yoga, unwind, connect with other like minded souls, and ideally be by the sea. Well, this summer it wasn’t an option for me financially or to fit in around my children - so what did I do? I set one up! Not just a morning retreat, not just a day retreat, nope - I set up a 5 day retreat with the best teachers I know, and I know a lot of amazing fitness instructors and holisitic therapists, so I organised the elite - and we had Yoga, Samba reggae, Qi Gong, Pilates, meditation, daily Ayurvedic talks, reflexology sessions, and green beauty organic facials. Plus we spoke fluently in 5 languages, it was a National Trust building, so some of the money raised I donated to the National Trust and it was literally on the sea wall by the Atlantic Ocean. Boom! Did I feel like I had gone on a retreat? Yes! It was FAB - literally!
I have toned things down and most recently done a fab retreat in a yurt, and now focusing on my next retreat at Frances Le Suer Centre - and will be offering and collaborating on some fantastic morning retreats later in the year.
So…if you want to do something then do it. It might not be as you first envisaged - but you can do it if you want to.
If you are feeling stressed, tired, anxious or just a bit run down and need some me time - then my retreats are for you.
