A retreat is often time to both get away and journey within. It can either be a time of solitude or a community experience. Retreat literally means 'pull back' or 'seclusion'. So, the subject can be very different. You can organize one with any focus point, for example a workation, but these are the most common ones used:
- Yoga
- Business retreat a.k.a. workation
- Wellness
- Detox
- Sports
- Meditation
- Nature
- Food
What is the purpose of a retreat?
Instead of struggling to find time to get in a creative flow and in a relaxed state of mind in your daily agenda, during a retreat the purpose is to solely focus on yourself and your level of energy. You will go back home and re-establish your life in a new way. Retreats are important because people leave fitter, more rested and happier.
How long is a retreat?
Nowadays, retreats are offered in various forms. From a day to a few weeks, at home or abroad, individually or in a group. Usually in beautiful places surrounded by or in nature. So,there is not one answer to give. It all comes back to the purpose, the target group and destination of your retreat.
