What is retreats?
A personal growth retreat is time set aside, usually away from home and often in nature, to do the inner work that daily life crowds out: breathwork, reflection, vision, rest, and the company of others on the same road. The retreat is the beginning; integration — what you carry home into your daily practice — is where it pays off.
