Retreats are not strict, thoroughly planned getaways where you need to do everything according to a timetable and don’t get any time to relax.
What is a retreat?
A retreat is where you go to take a break for some time, start a new chapter, or develop a new practice. For example, you could go on a retreat and do absolutely nothing for the entire time.
How long is a retreat?
Retreats can vary from a weekend to about a month or even six weeks. It depends on the type of retreat. A fitness retreat in NSW could be from a week to about four weeks where you will learn different exercises and techniques.
What types are there?
There are food retreats, meditation, exercise, digital detox, relaxation, self-care, and other types of retreats. Different establishments such as Elysia Wellness Retreat offer various options – depending on what you wish to be doing, you can select the retreat that suits you best.
What do you need to take?
If you are on any medication, remember to take them along with you. Other things to take include a good book, a reusable bottle of water, some comfortable clothes, and sandals or shoes if your retreat involves walking.
