Has anyone ever been on a spiritual retreat?
A friend and I are looking at going to one. She's also been through a bad break-up like I have, and I am feeling the need to take a step back, take stock and find some peace in life.
There is an island off the west coast of Scotland where a community offers spiritual retreats. You go over, and live and work in the community for a week and take part in yoga, meditation, focusing and insight and help you find some inner peace. They grow their own organic food, and have their own livestock and while you're there for the week you pitch in an work alongside them and become part of the community.
If you really love it, you can stay as long as you like but we're just planning to go over for a week. Niamh would be coming with me too.
Anyone done anything like this before?
