If you’re wondering which one

People ask me which retreat they should come to. The honest answer is whichever one you can actually get to. There is no order you are meant to follow, and nothing you need to have done first.

But if you want my suggestion, it is only the one my own body taught me.

Start with the body. When I was at my most tired, I could not think my way out of anything. My mind had run out of usefulness. What helped first was sleep, warmth, long mornings, and somebody else deciding what happened next. That is Soulful Sanctuary. An unhurried practice, afternoons with nothing in them, and permission to do very little. If you are running on empty, come here first.

Then, once the body has caught up, the mind. There comes a point where you can rest, and still feel guilty for it. Where you know you should slow down and cannot work out why you won’t. Restful Thriving sits with that question. A little more teaching, honest conversation, and enough days away for it to land.

And in time, the heart. Some things do not move through talking, or through resting. They sit lower down, and they need a quieter room. Heartwork is being made for that. It comes in 2027, for people who have already been away with us once.

That is a suggestion, not a route. Some people come back to the same retreat three years running because it is the one their body keeps asking for. That is not standing still. That is knowing yourself.
