A retreat is a rocket ship, an adventure out in the world and an adventure inside your own inner world as well. A retreat is the catalyst to begin a new life, one filled with slow living, intentional community building, and a richness for all of your senses. Attending a retreat allows you to fully surrender to being taken care of and nourished with every day-to-day detail handled for you.
However, the goal of a retreat is not to immediately return to life as it was before. The true goal of a retreat is to incorporate the tools and knowledge you gain and allow them to ripple into your daily life and routine.
The goal of a retreat is to serve as a catalyst where through slow travel, you embrace a slower pace of existing in daily life. In other words, taking a cue from the Italians, a true retreat allows you to practice slow living. To invoke an age-old cliche: “practice makes perfect”. When you join a retreat you are not just unplugging you are learning how to stay unplugged for a healthier and more sustainable life.
