Benefits of Holistic Retreat
Perhaps it may suddenly seem risky to you due to fear of the unknown, so that you can follow the following tips:
- Start with weekend retreats: probably with just one day, you won’t have enough time to disconnect from everything, and a weekend of “isolation” is ideal to transport you to the retreat location and be fully aware. Over time, you can consider taking week-long retreats or even longer trips.
- Choose thematic retreats: if you have any discipline that you would like to improve or learn, whether on a physical or mental level, there are themed retreats (focused on yoga, for example). This will help you be more motivated.
- Lean on your companions: depending on the type of retreat (there may be silent retreats where you should not interact with your companions), the idea is to interact both with them and with the guides and professionals who will help you along the way.
- Open your mind: let yourself be surprised, leave prejudices and limiting beliefs behind, and have an open and positive attitude.
- Find harmony: try to harmonize with the space, nature, and the place of the retreat.
- Body and mind: holism approaches events from many points of view, so it tries to find that harmony and connection between your body and mind so that everything flows.
