Rest + Reconnect Weekend Retreat: Unplug, Unwind, and Restore Your Inner Balance (Silent)

Life is busy, and in the rush of daily responsibilities, we often forget to do the one thing we need most: REST. Rest is actually the foundation for productivity and the necessary balance to living a highly busy/stressed life. 

Imagine a weekend in the tranquil countryside, where time slows down, and your only focus is you. Our Rest + Reconnect (R+R) retreats are thoughtfully designed to help you step away from the demands of everyday life and embrace stillness, simplicity, and self-care.

With nothing to achieve and no obligations to fulfill, this is your chance to:

• Awaken your senses through mindful practices.
• Rest your body and mind in a serene environment.
• Nourish yourself with wholesome meals.
• Breathe in fresh air under vast, open skies.
• Learn about how to best care for your mental health and nervous system from health care professionals.

The Experience
Upon arrival, we ask you to hand in your electronics, creating space for genuine connection—both with yourself and the natural world. Each weekend offers a mix of guided and self-paced activities, all designed to support deep relaxation and renewal. Whether in silence or shared connection (depending on the retreat), this is your opportunity to slow down and simply be.
