Why do you feel retreats are transformational?

Retreats can be an incredible respite; offering us time to slow down and break our cycle of habitual living. As we rest, nourish ourselves, and enjoy time in nature, we set the conditions for mind and body healing. We see, hear and feel more clearly after a retreat. This helps us regain perspective on our life and reconnect to that which is most important to us. In short, taking time to pause and grow grounded, present, and open allows for our most wise and compassionate action to rise - towards ourselves and others.
