Must-visit Wellness Retreats
We all have stressors in life, whether it’s work, family or social commitments. It’s important to take time out for your mental health. Check out these three wellness retreats that can help you escape modern life for a few days and emerge as a healthier, happier version of yourself.
Wellness retreats are perfect for anyone, whether you need some time alone, want to bond with your partner or friends, or even bring your team together on a business trip to spark new ideas and motivation when you return home.
Askham Hall
The Lake District is one of England’s most popular tourist destinations, with quaint British towns and villages, lake swimming and mountain exploring. It’s the perfect place to experience a reset, with Askham Hall offering health and wellness retreats that will leave you feeling rejuvenated.
It includes guided meditation, walking, forest bathing, home-grown meals, a wild picnic using locally sourced ingredients and a three-night stay in a luxury hotel.
The retreat will be guided by Krich Thapa, an accomplished mountaineer and spiritual guide who was the world’s first military mountain leader, who will guide guests through his own spiritual journey and life learnings to provide a place of relaxation, reflection and escape.
You can join a digital detox alone or with your partner or family while taking part in meditation and other resetting activities.
