What
is a retreat?
Retreats
are quickly becoming a trendy and vogue concept yet many people are still confused
by its meaning. The idea is actually quite simple. Imagine a holiday, but a real
holiday, where there’s no need to worry
about travel guides or planning and silence and natural beauty prevail.
This is a holiday
where you are looked after throughout your entire stay. For everything
that has been selected for you, someone has already researched and selected the
best options. Choose what you want to do from fun activities like visiting
local sites, exploring a local antique market, surfing or cooking. You can
perfect your yoga and pilates but also relax with a soak in a hot tub or grab a book and
indulge in the scenery. The choice is yours. Or maybe you just really need to
sleep, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the still silence. Or perhaps a
detox is your wish which is much easier away from city temptations.
Escape
the London or any urban arena to a quiet, natural, and
secluded retreat, far from tourist attractions, and withdraw to a simple luxury escape. Yogis are well aware of the beauty that is often unappreciated
or even forgotten amongst nature: lush landscapes, the calm morning
fog, the sound of the sea, the reverence of the mountains. These are all easier
to admire in the hidden places that are untouched by tourism and hotel chains.
Contrary
to some connotations, not all retreats are spiritual
escapes.
Most retreats nowadays
and all retreats listed on Retreats I Love are for the everyday person, not
just yogis. They especially benefit those who are carried away with their busy
city lives and are looking for uninterrupted peace and quiet.
Another
great benefit of retreats is meeting like-minded people who are on
holiday for the same reasons. It doesn’t matter whether you go on a retreat in a group, in a
couple or on your own as you looking for a peaceful escape and share similar
views of the balanced and beautiful life.
Retreats
are uncomplicated luxuries.
