Good morning! Here’s some food for thought:
A wellness retreat is an opportunity to get away from it all to learn more about yourself, get in touch with what nourishes you, maybe heal from stuff that’s NOT feeding you, and to feel good and healthy at the end of the retreat. Sound good?
Then what happens? When you leave is that IT? Are you done? Do you go back to the way things were before you got all happy and healthy again?
I’d like to do something different with my retreat. I’m holding a women’s wellness retreat in St John, USVI (my past and future home) in November. While the purpose is a retreat (God knows we will need to retreat from the nation’s Capital immediately after election day this year!), I also want the ladies who attend to come away with skills they can take back to real life. I don’t intend for this to be work at all.
Take an opportunity to learn what it’s like to meditate and feel connected to earth rather than connected to a laptop. Feel the energy of fresh organic greens instead of feeling green with envy at our neighbors who are driving faster cars on the Beltway. Limber up with yoga instead of stretching the truth to meet a stress-inducing deadline. Walk along national park trails instead of taking a walk on the wild side. AND explore your wild side with other fabulous, health-conscious (or at least health-curious) women while exploring sea creatures and sea vegetables.
Take a look at some pictures of the upcoming Women’s Wellness Retreat.
If you had your own retreat, how would you design it?
In health and harmony,
Sally
