So many of us struggle with the idea of a ‘holiday’ without purpose — wellness retreats included. Society demands stories from us: the places we’ve been; the experiences we’ve had; the weight we’ve lost; the hotel we stayed in; the detox procedure we’ve endured; the hours of yoga we’ve completed. When you’re suffering from stress or anxiety the last thing you need is more pressure, more expectations. A personal wellness retreat is for no one but you. Its only purpose is to remove you from stress and anxiety. I encourage you to design one for yourself and use it to simply be.
