What exactly is a retreat?
A retreat is time that you take for yourself, away from the concerns and routine of daily life. It can be a vacation, a renewal and reinvigoration of your spirit, a place to challenge yourself, a place to be alone or a place to be surrounded by like-minded people. Or it can be a combination of all of these.
 
Why go on a retreat anyway?
So many of us find ourselves taking care of everyone else and we neglect the urgent call to connect with ourselves. People and situations insistently cry: “Feed Me!” And we are there. It’s easy to lose yourself with helping other people. Therefore taking time for yourself is a necessity. Recharging our spirit allows us to go back to the people and situations in our lives with renewed energy.
