THE RETREAT TO END ALL RETREATS .
I’ve been on many retreats in my time, with the aim that after I attend I would have pushed the reset button on my life. And though they help in the moment, I feel deeply relaxed, maybe even break-through or two, once my foot has stepped through the threshold of my door and my suitcase is down, dread sets in and I have to face the realities of life again.
I’ve scoured the Internet for years looking for retreats that will offer a solution to the short-term high for a long-term gain. Yes, I want to feel relaxed and refreshed but I also want to feel like I’ve made real changes in the areas that pushed me to go on a retreat in the first place, not to crash back into reality and have the effects of your retreat be a distant memory the moment you check your phone. High expectations I know, maybe too high, that was until I discovered the Santalan Retreat. And here at Veda, we don’t gate-keep so here’s everything you need to know.
Santalan means balance
“As women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple roles, striving to be the best in everything from career to motherhood to making the most of any personal or leisure time. It’s a relentless and near-impossible pursuit. Yet we try.
Ironically in our efforts to balance everything and please everyone, we’re met with imbalance and feel defeated at the apparent loss of our own identity and goals.”
Santalan’s ethos is that it takes more than a retreat to change your life, we’ve all been sold experiences with premisses of change without the roadmap for the change to continue. Our old habits slip in and the cycle continues. Santalan is more about changing your reality so you don’t need to escape it.
This retreat is offered in two parts, the first part is where you immerse yourself in a 4-day luxury retreat where you will be surrounded by the vast greenery of the Suffolk countryside nestled in the beautiful luxury of the Wilderness Reserve.
This isn’t the kind of retreat where you will be on a strict juice cleanse or be forced into a down dog (though that is on offer) Champagne is on the menu too!
This is more, taking time out to address those sticky areas of life whether it be love and relationships, money, fitness, or style, you identify what that is for you.
“We help you reclaim what’s important to you…
Providing a safe space for women to confront and tackle their challenges on both a practical and emotional level, you can start to acknowledge your personal and professional desires. Working closely together, we’ll help you identify priorities, create realistic timelines to give you the strategies, techniques and resilience to not only find but celebrate your new-found balance.
Our team of expert coaches can bring both experience and expertise to every corner of your life from career to relationships and from personal styling to health, wellbeing and nutrition.”
By the time you leave you will have a clear vision on your focus and a plan broken down into 12 monthly chunks. The best part of this retreat is that not only will you have your road map , to add you will have bespoke coaching sessions with some of the UK’s top coaches over 12 months to keep you on track and hold your hand whilst you achieve your dream!
If you are looking for a retreat for when you’re serious about lasting change but don’t always know where to start, this is THE retreat.
We all need a hand-hold through the toughest areas of our lives or the parts we feel the most resistance, this experience is not only investing in your present but investing in your future, I couldn’t want for more with this retreat programme!
If you’re anything like me and are foaming at the mouth to attend, spaces are limited to 12 to ensure everyone gets the best possible experience.
Dates are 19th-22nd of Jan 2024 so book your place asap!
