Solo Travellers

Why go on a solo retreat?

Solo retreats create a positive space for shared values, interests, and desires. Not only will going on a solo retreat allow you to meet new people and connect more with nature in a peaceful setting, but they also provide activities and environments for personal growth and a better overall well-being. Solo retreats can improve our health, boost dopamine levels, and help you learn to become more connected and in tune with yourself and the world around you.

Benefits of a solo retreat

Going on a solo retreat has a lot of benefits and offers a lot of advantages over other holiday options. Not only does traveling to a solo retreat invite positive change but there are various health benefits offered by solo retreats, as well as flexibility and personal growth. Some of the best benefits of going on a solo retreat are as follows:

• Go at your own pace: One of the best benefits of going on a solo retreat is the opportunity to go at your own pace. You aren't in a race with anyone, and there is no one to compare yourself to throughout the process. Going at your own pace increases personal confidence and greater long-lasting success.
• Focus on personal growth: Going on a solo retreat allows time to focus on personal growth. Going to a retreat alone may force you outside of your comfort zone, inspire confidence and growth, and greater personal awareness.
• Opportunity for self-care: To enhance your overall wellness and physical well-being, one of the best benefits of a solo retreat is the opportunity for self-care. Whether you are looking to relax with spa services, want to spice up your exercise routine, or looking for nutritional advice, a solo retreat caters to your personal needs and what's best for your body.
• Promotes lifestyle makeovers: Solo retreats allow us to focus better on our own behaviors and attitudes, oftentimes promoting complete lifestyle changes. Travelling alone forces you to appreciate more, makes you more responsible, and becomes more aware of yourself and your surroundings. Knowing what areas of your life need a style change and how to identify those areas is one of the most beneficial and long last benefits of a solo retreat.
• Meet like-minded people: Another great benefit of a solo retreat is meeting other like-minded solo travelers during your holiday. Although you will arrive and attend alone, loneliness is the complete opposite of how you will feel, thanks to a supportive atmosphere and community of familiarity.
• Creates independence: Going on a solo retreat creates freedom and independence. You aren't tied down to any responsibilities, and you can do as much or as little as you want to during a solo retreat. You will find that by having the power of flexibility, your mind, and body will become more relaxed and at peace.
