I am not sure why it took me so long to think about getting on the band wagon of “wellness retreat” vacations just as I would think about regular vacations?

Perhaps it is because we are so use to societal copy-cat and “follow the leader” strategies that it is mind-numbing to break the cycle of tropical paradise while sipping margarita’s on the beach. Versus the new trend that has started many years ago ironically by actually taking care of ourselves and taking ourselves out of fight or flight mode even when we are supposed to be on “vacation.”

Choose Self Preservation First

If you do not fill your own cup first, there will be no other cups to fill because yours will be so depleted before you even begin. I am not great at remembering the exact sayings out there, but I hope you get what I am trying to say. If you have never attended or considered a wellness retreat before, let this be your message to follow through. Once you start speaking the language of health and wellness, your phone and google searches will help guide you to your destiny these days.

Start to Imagine

Close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by the gentle embrace of nature’s tranquility. You find yourself nestled among soft grasses and melodious birdsong serenading your senses. The air is perfect & invigorating, filling your lungs with each mindful breath. As you step onto the soft earth beneath your feet, you feel a sense of grounding wash over you, connecting your whole body to the earth’s center.

In this environment you are are able to start to embark on a journey of self-discovery and renewal. Each day begins with a restorative yoga practice, guided by a seasoned yogi whose soothing voice leads you through gentle movements and deep stretches. With each pose, you feel tension melting away from your body, leaving you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and fully present in the moment.

After yoga, you immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of a sound bath, where the ethereal tones of crystal singing bowls wash over you like a wave of pure bliss.

Pause Right Here

If you have never experienced or heard of a sound bath, please do not let it stop you. Sound bathes are the most non-invasive way to heal. The right frequency aka “vibrational tone” does so much for our heart-center without you doing any work at all. The only thing you need to do is remain OPEN to RECEIVE. As you get more engrossed with the wellness world, you will hear a lot of that phrase.

OPEN to RECEIVE

Carrying On………As the sound envelops you, your tension dissolves, leaving you in a state of deep relaxation and inner peace. The harmonious resonance of the bowls reverberates through your being, aligning your chakras and restoring balance to your mind, body, and spirit.

Throughout the retreat, aromatherapy becomes an integral part of your daily ritual, infusing each moment with the subtle scents of lavender, peppermint, and citrus.

Whether it’s a calming blend diffused during meditation or a rejuvenating oil used in hand massage, aromatherapy awakens your senses and uplifts your mood, leaving you feeling refreshed and invigorated. This is also something you can leave your retreat knowing you have learned the basics of how to use, when to use and where to use aromatherapy solutions!

As the days unfold, you find yourself growing in ways you never thought possible. Through connection with other retreat guests, you gain valuable insights into yourself and your life path. You uncover hidden talents, release limiting beliefs, and embrace a newfound sense of self-love and acceptance.

But perhaps the most transformative aspect of the retreat is being surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your passion for holistic living. Together, you laugh, you cry, and you support each other on your journey towards greater self-discovery and fulfillment.

As the retreat draws to a close, you find yourself forever changed by the experience. You leave behind the hustle and bustle of daily life, carrying with you a renewed sense of purpose, vitality, and inner peace. And as you integrate the practices and insights gained from the retreat into your everyday life, you embark on a lifelong journey of self-growth, relaxation, and rejuvenation, knowing that you are forever connected to the transformative power of wellness retreats.
