RE-TREAT YOURSELF
WEEKEND WELLNESS RETREAT
Release, Rebalance, Restore
June 25th-28th
Springbrooke Retreat Centre, Langley BC
Do you feel like you’re always putting others first?
Do you feel run-down and tired?
Do you feel disconnected from your body?
Are you missing that spark of passion and excitement for life?
In today’s fast paced culture, it’s easy to feel disconnected from that which brings you joy, makes you feel alive, and fills your heart with a sense of peace and fulfillment. It’s not uncommon to live in a constant state of “go-go-go” and to often put work, social & family obligations, and the needs of others before your own. This neglect of the self can have damaging effects on your health and leave you feeling worn out, stressed, and craving something more.
We’re here to tell you that it’s not only OK, but necessary to give yourself permission to put your needs first so that you can be your best self. Sometimes you need to step away from the stressful demands of daily life to rest, pamper, and rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul.
When you give yourself the things that you need to feel healthy, happy, and whole you’ll have more energy and be able to give more of your love, attention, and energy to the activities, people, and projects that mean the most to you.
The question is- how do we figure out what, exactly, it is we need?
This summer at Re-Treat Yourself: A Nourishing Weekend to Release, Rebalance, and Restore from June 25th-28th, 2015 you’ll get all the tools you need to start living your most joyful, passionate, and fulfilled life ever!
Nestled amongst beautiful cedar trees along the banks of the Salmon River in Langley, BC, this retreat is the perfect escape to nourish your mind, body and soul.
You’ll be surrounded by tranquility and nature, while you immerse yourself in daily yoga practices, meditation sessions, wellness & healthy eating workshops, and of course plenty of time to relax in the outdoor pool, hot tub, and sauna!
Regan Courtney and Caitlin Iles will guide you through the weekend and help reconnect you with your passions, uncover negative thought patterns and fears that might be blocking your happiness, and provide you with tons of great tools, tips and strategies to make your life easier when times get hectic.
Give the gift of total wellness by treating yourself to a weekend of soul-nourishing me time!
