Why Go On A Spiritual
Retreat?
Spiritual retreats for women are a chance to rediscover who you really
are. Women are often more prone to forgetting themselves and
making other's more important. Then one day they realise that
they have no idea who they are or what they actually want.
A retreat is a chance to turn your attention back on yourself for a few
days. It is a chance to nourish your soul and remember what it
was you dreamed of as a little girl but since forgot. They can
be healing retreats or yoga holidays or even a weight loss retreat or
detox retreat.
It could involve learning techniques such as yoga, mediation or
breathing exercises. It could be a combination of any type of
activities such as drawing, writing, contemplating or dancing.
You will know before you go what will be involved.
Attention
You know how good it feels when you have attention from other people
don't you? That is assuming you desire their attention of
course. Everything
in nature loves attention and that includes your inner-self receiving
YOUR attention. Your inner self is likely starved of your own
attention and kindness. It is very healing and empowering to
nourish
your soul in this way and can open up blocked channels of creativity
and insight.
Where Are They Held? Somewhere still, silent and away from the modern
world. Natural, peaceful surroundings is the normal
location. Their will be minimal distractions so you can reconnect
to nature and your spiritual self. The days events will be mostly
organised for you, including free time to sit, walk or talk. Your
meals will be prepared so you can turn your attention back on yourself.
Who Else Will Be There? You are not the first person to go on a retreat,
there are many others like you. Some people will have been on a
previous retreat, some people go on retreats often because spiritual
growth and self-discovery is their hobby.
Everyone starts somewhere but the beauty is that everyone will be on a
similar path and the connection and compassion for each other on a
retreat makes it what it is.
What A Retreat Is Not!
It is absolutely not about...
being told what to believe
being made to wear anything
twelve hours a day chanting while staring at a candle
(unless you know this in advance)
joining up to anything
If any of these things happen or are asked of you then you can be sure
it is not the right thing for you. A spiritual retreat is about
self-empowerment and discovering your truth and your spiritual
self. For that to happen you need to be free from restriction and
other people's ideas.
