The retreat is for renewal, for my spirit to retreat until it is ready to rebound and come forwards. Listening to the soul is essential if you are to live sustainably within yourself, to become a pillar of strength in the lives of others.
In this retreat, I re-treat myself. I need this. I need the serenity, the peace that comes of being so well cared for. I love the massages. I love the food. I love the quietness. Treats can be essential when you need to recharge and reboot. We can only run on full tilt for defined periods of time.
