7 benefits of going to a wellness retreat
In today’s society, most people currently lead a hectic lifestyle with work, kids, study, family and friends, running business etc. Our physical bodies’ natural state is not used to this constant stress and rhythm and this why it is important to give our bodies periods of rest and ease.
A wellness retreat is a wonderful opportunity to step back from our daily lives to rest, heal, connect with our inner selves and taking time out to assess our life decisions and bring clarity to what we want ahead.
1. RETREATS ARE BETTER THAN JUST A HOLIDAY
Retreats have a specific intent behind them to allow us to focus on and heal issues or experiences that require time to think clearly and to bring things into perspective or for some to allow time to reflect on what they would like to bring more off into their lives.
Retreats are held in secluded and pristine locations and include accommodation, food, facilities, professional consultation with wellness experts and all activities and exercises - are of which have been curated in line with what we are seeking to achieve.
2. SHARE AND INTERACT WITH GROUP ENERGY
Retreats let us realise that we are not alone and offer us the opportunity to spend time with like-minded people who are looking to achieve the same goals as us. These people become our support system as we work towards our goal and help us to uncover and identify issues that we couldn’t have on our own. Retreats are a great way to meet new people and make long lasting friendships.
3. ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE
Retreats include trainings, activities, natural therapies, exercises or coaching sessions by experts who teach us the tools and strategies to help us improve our spiritual, mental and physical well-being and remain in shape even after the retreat is over.
4. EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OFF FOR US
When we book a retreat we don’t have to worry about planning anything, except how to get there. No worrying about things like timing schedules, making reservations, keeping to itineraries, finding things to do, where to eat nourishing food, all those hidden extra costs. Retreats allow us to focus soles on our own well-being and truly offer us a stress free and healing experience.
5. CONNECT WITH NATURE
With so many of us now living in high rise apartments, one of the biggest advantages of going on a retreat is their locations and that offer us the ability to reconnect and ground with nature and its healing energy. Grounding and reconnecting to nature allows us to unwind, thoroughly rejuvenate and significantly reduce our production of the stress hormone cortisol.
6. RETREATS CAN BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE
Group retreats are more economical than a normal holiday. Retreats offer us an all exclusive price up front and include exclusive access to professional consultations, making them more financially feasible than a regular holiday where we have to make our own on in the moment spending choices which may lead to us spending way more on holiday than we had planned.
7. COMPLETELY UNWIND AND RELAX
Retreats allow us to completely unwind and relax and resolve any pending concerns or worries. Returning back to life reinvigorated and recharged unlike some holidays where you come back more tired and exhausted than before.
Retreats are available for all budgets, so for your next holiday, pick a retreat and embrace this amazingly healing experience. You will be so glad you did!
