Retreat Day at R3 Wellness

A New You for a New Year: A Full Day Retreat at R3 Wellness
Authored by Matthew Mitlas

When you think of a retreat, what comes to mind? A beautiful, scenic area? Meditating in Bali, Indonesia or living on an Ashram? Perhaps you think a retreat is a time to give back to others through community service. Retreat has meanings, but the official definition is “a period of group withdrawal for prayer, meditation, study, or instruction under a director-“which, in some form or another, probably includes your own ideas about what a retreat really is. If you have always felt the desire to participate in a retreat, this may be the time for you to do so.

Here at R3, we believe that enjoying a retreat does not mean having to withdraw from life entirely, but in fact the opposite. When we engage fully in life and all of its pains and pleasures, we can turn even the most mundane routines into a beautiful retreat into our self. We can practice retreating in many ways- perhaps we sit and meditate before sleep or with a group; perhaps we cook for our families and allow that time to bring us back home, to the breath, to our family. Bathing your body turns into a retreat in which you can focus specifically on your prefect health and the growing attitudes of love and care and kindness for your body.

When we engage fully in life in such a way, we find bliss in every moment. The most normal occurrences become miracles! We find that times when we withdraw from ourselves are actually the times when we become the most mindless and lose the sense of bliss we have grown so accustomed to when fully engaged in life!

Learning how to apply these techniques in your life can be challenging at first. This is why we are pleased to announce our first full day retreat at R3 Wellness! R3 wellness will be hosting a day in which all of our practitioners will be available and prepared to share their knowledge in order to help you live the life you want to live and which you so deserve. During this day you will learn how to engage fully in each moment of your life in such a way that peace and joy will always exist.

This day will be filled with various workshops and private sessions. Each class is catered to yourprogress in life. You will leave equipped with lots of ideas and techniques which you can apply to your daily routine. These techniques include, but are not limited to, learning how to manifest abundance, how to listen to your highest self and your guides, learning to meditate and practice yoga, and mindful eating. Private Sessions will focus on your releasing thoughts and energies that no longer serve you so that you can step fully into each moment- open, healthy, and free. These sessions will include services such as Reiki, acupuncture, massage, private readings and coaching.

We truly believe that our retreat day includes all of the ideas about what a retreat really is. It will be a group of like-minded people gathering together in a beautiful, serene setting to better themselves; to then shine a positive influence on others. This retreat day will take place on January 18 from 9:00am-5:00 pm. It’s cost is $125.00, an investment which will give you the tools to prosper and to be free- to live the life YOU want to live!
