IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD, ONE HAS TO TURN AWAY FROM IT ON OCCASION – ALBERT CAMUS.
If you find that you are longing for and seeking reconnection with your heart, we offer these retreats in service to your soul. Shift the way you experience life. If you feel trapped in your stories or patterns it may be time to begin to step back, review and reorient. Leave the day-to-day behind for a bit and connect with a more authentic truth of who you are…which ultimately, can change absolutely everything.
Downtime is necessary to replenish the brain’s stores of attention and motivation. Retreating encourages and fuels productivity and creativity, and is essential to achieving our highest levels of performance in everyday life … moments of respite may even be necessary to keep one’s moral compass in working order and maintain a sense of self. Taking time to pause helps us to avoid the real danger of becoming too tired to remember who we are and what we value.
