All women deserve to retreat, to withdraw from everyday life to recalibrate, even if only for a few hours here or there. I have had the privilege of participating in and hosting women's recovery retreats for many years.
Privilege is the key word here. Although formal retreats are not accessible to everyone, the concept of retreating has its origin in some very simple and affordable principles.
Retreats can be about quiet time alone, about connection with like-hearted women, or a combination of both. I encourage you to find a few hours, a day, a weekend, or a week and plan a sacred pause.
You can create a retreat sanctuary in your home or your yard if you can't get away. Rest.
Reflect. If you need the time to figure out what is working in your life and what needs to change, you can do that too.
