How to choose a retreat with Active Rest Retreats

We know choice paralysis…that thing you feel when you open up Netflix with no idea of what you want to watch (but a definite desire to lay back, do nothing, and be entertained) - and then you end up taking 30mins just finding something…and no luck. But it’s not because of lack of choice…it’s simply because there’s TOO much choice.

Luckily, we’re no Netflix (in many ways!). But deciding which retreat to invest in can sometimes be tricky especially when you know you want to come but you just don’t know which one or where or when or how...So let us help you 😊

In our eyes, each retreat is unique and transformational in its own right. But to someone who hasn’t experienced it, it might seem difficult to decipher the similarities and differences of each.
