What is a Meditation Retreat?
The word 'Retreat' means a place to go to be alone, to get away from the 'Hustle & Bustle' and the 'Stresses of Everyday Life'. It is giving your mind a chance to quiet down from its daily routine.
Meditation Retreats are created to provide, protected safe space to give and receive instant support and socialise with the like minded meditators and enable those to learn, deepen and absorb a meditation practice.
In a retreat you can really escape and have nothing to do but concentrate with space for self-care, giving you the opportunity to gain a wider perspective, mental momentum, mind and body transformation with increased awareness. It is impossible to create change if you are not aware.
Meditation is about paying attention to your surroundings, your body, your thoughts and to truly reconnect with yourself and restore your reserves.
