25% OFF for EVERYONE who will book a retreat from April 29-May 3 & June 9-12 at our retreat venue
What I feel, hear and see on my retreats:
Suitcases overpacked.
Bringing 2 books, not opening one. Bringing 2 books, reading them all.
Wakening up because of hearing the birds chant so loud while performing their first morning songs.
Afternoon naps.
The sound of laughter of the students. The sound of laughter of the venue staff.
Relaxing and feeling pampered like a baby.
Walking barefoot on the grass.
The relief not to talk about work.
The parfum of mint and fleur d’oranger.
A phone switched off for the first time in months.
Journals opening and people start to write or paint.
People wanting more balance and achieving it after 2 days. People feeling stronger after 3 days.
Students feeling asleep while relaxing in Shavasana.
People going to bed before 10pm, sleeping deeply and more than 10 hours in the row.
Deeper and longer breaths.
Following the turtles on their tracks.
Someone meeting a version of themselves they had not seen yet.
Someone meeting a version of themselves they had not seen for long time.
Retreat students saying: “Oh my god, I did not realise how exhausted I was”, or “Finally I remember what quiet and peace feels like”.
Saying it feels so good letting go of who we portrait to be and finally being who we really are.
The relief of nowhere else to go or to run to.
The joy to being served breakfasts and dinners.
Sunrises and sunsets everyone admires.
People sitting still and watching the sky and the 360 degrees horizons.
More group photos than selfies.
Hughs and kisses before leaving.
People coming back for the second, third, fourth and fifth time.
People coming back with friends and family.
People saying: “I think I needed this more than I was aware of, I wish to have done this sooner.
