Weekend Getaway Retreat: Letting Go - Embrace a New Beginning - Rachel Devine

The team and I are planning a special and exciting retreat with the theme, ‘Letting Go: Embrace a New Beginning.’ Save the date, August 30, 2024, or better yet, sign up early and get a discount on the cost. This retreat will fill up quickly, so the sooner you register, the better. Full details on this retreat is at the end of this article.

Let’s look at how this retreat can benefit you and also look at details about this special retreat. A spiritual retreat offers numerous benefits that can lead to personal growth, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding of one's place in the world. It is a special opportunity to embrace serenity. It allows one to put focus on long-held goals and allow time for reflection. It is also a time for fun, and to have a special “me time,” and a chance to meet new like-minded friends.

As they say, ‘a picture tells a thousand words.’ Let’s first look at some pictures of this amazing new retreat house called Crossroads.

This main discussion room will serve as a room where we will gather for talks and have our movie night. There is plenty of room for 3 large tables/chairs.

Each bedroom has a private bath with shower and an individual ac unit in a lovely and roomy comfortable setting.

The Christ Center is where we will stay. We will have the whole place to ourselves. There are 3 decks, 2 conference rooms, bedrooms that sleep 30 people, and each one has a private bathroom and a main discussion room. It is highly recommended to book early, since we always fill up our rooms.

We will have a kitchen with coffee/tea/snacks available throughout the day and a microwave and a refrigerator for everyone’s use.

Here are some of the key advantages of our retreats:

  1. Spoiled Fun: The most important benefit is a chance to have fun. We will have plenty of free time, and if you want, you can lounge by the pool during our free time. We will have our movie night on Saturday and then have a campfire and roast s’mores in the evening. We have an enlightened program and a series of talks on ‘Letting Go.’ We will have delicious chef-cooked meals together and a hotel-style room with a private bathroom and AC unit.

  2. Inner peace and relaxation: A spiritual retreat provides a serene environment that allows you to disconnect from daily stressors, find inner peace, and focus on self-reflection. You leave your daily routine and put your focus on yourself. It gives you the opportunity to recharge your batteries and focus on what really matters in life.

  3. Self-discovery: Retreats offer the opportunity to explore your inner self, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and gain a better understanding of your true desires and aspirations. A retreat offers you the gift of time—time to get in touch with your heart and uncover some long-awaited goals.

  4. Enhanced mindfulness: Spiritual retreats can help you develop mindfulness and improve your ability to focus, be present, and develop self-awareness. This benefit allows us to go back to our daily lives with a clear and focused mind, which will enhance our productivity.

  5. Connection with nature: Our retreat is located in a beautiful, natural setting, which can provide a deeper connection with nature and help you recharge. This is the time to focus on the moment, where dreams manifest and take flight. Walking in nature, without the cares of everyday life, can be a gift with great benefits. The serenity of a quiet walk in nature could provide answers to long-held problems and direct your future to a shift in consciousness.

  6. Building community: Spiritual retreats bring together like-minded individuals seeking similar goals, fostering a sense of community and the opportunity to make new friends and connections. Our retreats have always fostered life-long friendships, which is a great benefit to our lives. It helps us connect to others in a deep and meaningful way, which lasts a lifetime. It also gives us an opportunity to bring a friend along and deepen that relationship.

  7. Improved mental health: A retreat can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, leading to improved overall mental well-being. We can move forward from the state of the world to one of a deep feeling of peace, support, and purpose. Our lives become more meaningful, with purpose and clarity, as we navigate our lives in a more enhanced way.

  8. Deepening spiritual practice: Retreats offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in spiritual practices and teachings, leading to a deeper understanding and stronger connection with your beliefs. It is an opportunity to get closer to the higher power of your understanding, nurturing that relationship with your spiritual side.

  9. Developing new habits: The structure and discipline of a spiritual retreat can help you develop new habits, such as regular meditation, that can be incorporated into your daily life. Or perhaps put you on a healthy eating regimen.

  10. Emotional healing: A spiritual retreat can provide the space and support needed to process and heal from past grief, or emotional pain. It is a way to look at deep issues that have played havoc in your subconscious mind and bring the issue to light, where it will lose its power over you. You will do this in a safe and supportive environment. A loving experience team will be your guide as you journey into other areas of healing and comfort. It’s always your choice on if you want to explore areas to let go of.

Overall,we are planning a fun, exciting, relaxing, healing and spiritually connected retreat. Remember, a retreat can be a transformative experience that provides physical, mental, and emotional benefits. It offers a chance to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing you to focus on personal growth, self-awareness, and spiritual development. A retreat is a gift of peace and serenity for yourself, and the benefits can be transform your life. You can walk away with a sense of purpose and clarity as you journey through life, with more tools for living your best life. And we all deserve the gift of a relaxing and fun retreat.
