What Are The Differences Between A Retreat And A Vacation?

Retreat on the Wild Atlantic Way

The word retreat comes from the Latin verb 'to pull back, to withdraw. ' Going on a retreat is like hitting the pause button. It means stepping away from everything – your life, your routine, your family – for a weekend, or a week or however long it takes  to connect with who we really are.​ Why take a retreat and with us? (more in the plans for the future)

Retreats offer a fully immersive experience. Our retreats are designed to remove the stress of traveling and create an environment where you can experience new things in a low stress environment. 
 
All to often vacations become stressful from all the planning and coordination or you go home disappointed you didn’t experience enough. With a retreat we have organized all the travel and tickets, so your only worry is how much milk you want in your coffee. 
 
Our retreats offer connections you won’t find in a holiday or vacation. We travel with a small group of lie minded individuals from all walks of life. The connections you make on a retreat can last a lifetime and friendships based on common interests endure longer. 
 
Retreats are a healing safe space to get away from everyday life. There is no judgment in the retreat space. We are all there to grow and share new experiences together. 
 
Our retreats have a deep connection to both nature and the local culture. While on the retreat you will experience things that you may not find on a traditional vacation and see hidden gems known to locals. 
 
The Food is also a big part of a retreat. Each of our meals are carefully selected to give you the best experience possible. From local dishes to unique restaurants to a cooking class from a local chef, we have crafted a menu to give you a wide range of culinary experiences. 
 
A retreat is like a summer camp for adults. All you have to do is find transportation to the airport, we take care of all the rest.
