As the world s population gets bigger, there more and more of the world s people finding themselves trapped in the rat race or at worst, stuck in a world where they desire materialism above all else. But as time goes one, many people want to find themselves or at the very least, find their humanism. Womens spiritual support groups is where the prospect of a retreat comes into play and serve as an outlet for those seeking to find themselves again amongst the clutter of the world.
There s a misconception that spritual retreats are all about prayer and repentance and it doesn t have to be the bottomline.
Does the retreat have to be in a Place of Worship? The answer to that question is subjective one. If, as an individual one feels that they need the support of the members they worship with, it is all the more better to have that support. If one feels however, that the experience of a retreat is one that needs to be done alone and therefore occupy themselves in a sanctum that they feel will make the retreat all that more purposeful, by all means they are free to do so.
If one is adamant on travelling very far in search of spiritual enlightenment than a retreat with a destination at a very faraway endpoint is all about the journey. This not only takes the traveller out of their comfort zone but forces said traveller to look around them, pay attention to different cultures and ways of doing things, see things in a perspective they may never have considered and most importantly look around.
A retreat is a perfect opportunity for one to leave their phone behind and focus on themselves without the distraction of one their most personal of creature comforts.
As contractionary or blasphemous as this may sound. The bottomline should be that one should embark on a group for themselves. Yes, the reasoning behind it could be to find a way to be closer to God or to strengthen their faith. But it should be a decision undertaken by an individual and not out of peer pressure or for sake of doing it. It s a personal experience and therefore, should be treated as such.
One to take the time to develop the practise they have chosen. Whether the time of retreat is a few hours or even an entire working month. One must spend time with their prefered method of practice, be it dance or yoga, not only to improve upon it but to use the time of each session more efficiently. Maximizing each opportunity that presents itself. Every person has their personal motivations for a retreat but what most people if not all who undertake one would agree on is that afterwards, they feel rejuvenated and refreshed.
A retreat can be done with a number of end goals in mind but what is important to keep note of is that it should be done for oneself. It should be done with the purpose of steering away from the clutter or to find a new lease on life from within.
