First? Resting. This retreat calls for early to bed and early to rise. Why? Waking up early with a sense of purpose helps you not only feel better and get more done in the day, it helps you sleep better at night. Sleeping well is how we heal our bodies, maintain a strong immune system and stimulate our creative minds. If your personal rhythm is different, feel free to modify. However, if you’ve never tried waking and going to bed early, it’s just 3 days. Give it a try. 

Second: Food. We’re suggesting healthy adaptations to your eating habits. Observe what you're already eating and we'll help you see minor or major ways to improve. We're not suggesting a total menu rehab. But you'll practice making food choices that are healthier. Healthy food, like rest, helps your body work well, feeds your immune system and helps you think better. Incorporate our suggestions into your existing food choices and tweak your diet to make yourself feel better and more energetic.

Third, Move. Movement helps our circulatory system, muscles and even bones stay healthier. And it  stimulates endorphins, those feel good hormones that help battle the blues. These 3 days, we’ll move every day, substantial movement at that. This is not a race so take it at your pace. But allow yourself to feel the joy in movement as you complete the classes and self exercise.

Fourth: Journal. You’ll never remember how you feel differently unless you make a note and write about it. And writing something down gives it more life, more meaning. Take a moment and get a journal or make one with some paper stapled together or tied together to get ready. Have fun with it. You’ll have space to document each day.  After you’ve finished, read it back to see where to modify and what to incorporate into your daily life. There’ll be things to keep and things to let go of altogether. Life is a process.
