Why a Mindfulness Retreat Might Save Your Life
Stress is the Real Killer
Did you know that quitting smoking is LESS important than quitting stressing?
Yep. A 10 year study concluded that emotional stress was more predictive of death from cancer and cardiovascular disease than smoking.
Mindfulness retreats like this one can bring you to a stress free state that just isn’t possible anywhere else.
Normal Vacations Are Anything But Relaxing
Most Americans don’t feel rested after they return from vacation.
Mindfulness retreats are different. As soon as you arrive at the retreat center, you begin unraveling all the stress. This is something that just doesn't happen with normal vacations.
The result is clear. Normal vacations leave you exhausted. Mindfulness retreats leave you well rested, recharged, and restored.
Your Diet Is Killing You
Ask yourself this: when is the last time you ate 21 healthy meals in a row?
In Costa Rica, you don't have to worry about what’s for dinner, you won't need to stress about cooking, and you'll be served 3 delicious, nutritious, organic meals.
Does that contribute to healing and restoring while on retreat? You bet it does.
You'll Feel More Connected
In the breathtaking tropical mountains, you'll feel more connected – to nature, to your classmates, to your own spirit. You probably haven't felt so connected since you were a kid.
What are we doing with this precious human life if we're not trying to feel more and more connected?
You Can Reinvent Yourself
You know that voice in your head that constantly overthinks, makes useless comments, and generally worries about things that will never improve by worrying?
A mindfulness retreat helps you to quiet this part of your brain. The happiest and most profound moments of your life were done from these Zen-like states. That’s where you’ve made your best decisions, when you’ve contributed the most to the world, and when you’ve been your highest self.
