How about treating yourself with a few days free and alone in a comfortable tent in the middle of nature? A time to leave stress behind, to rest, to listen to yourself, to enjoy the power of trees, and the calm and beauty of your surroundings.
Modern and urban life means speed, efficiency, progress, machines, services, technology. It is built on needs which we are taught to satisfy as soon as possible. It cuts us from the environment in which our species was born and makes us loose the feel or the need for nature.
Everything is provided, at a cost. Food is processed, air is conditioned, and water comes in a bottle. Everything is mecanized, space is money, and even leasures are strictly organized and timed.
A retreat in the forest allows you to break the cycle and help you remember who you are.
Feel just the moment, the sun on your face, the wind in the trees, the songs of the birds, and the melody of running water. It helps listening to oneself again, what your body says, what your senses discover when it is calm and silent outside. It helps to find peace.
