Retreat in the Carpathians

Everyone needs to be alone from time to time and clear their mind. But, as always, there are many urgent matters. And when there is already an irrepressible desire to run away somewhere, they start to remember themselves. In order not to lose your last strength from internal stress, spend a retreat in the Carpathians. Find out what it is, why it is needed and who will benefit from it.

What is a retreat?

A retreat is solitude and deep reflection of one's life in search of what really matters. This is not just a rest in nature, but a complete reset and immersion in your inner world with the help of spiritual practices and work with the body. Usually, individual or collective retreats are arranged in places outside the city limits, where the countdown of time slows down and is felt in a different way. Only by going as far as possible from home, work, news and social media feeds can you recover and accumulate all your strength.

The main goal of the retreat is to clear the mind of "noise". By this they mean an unstoppable flow of thoughts about everyday affairs, due to which internal orientations are lost. The daily hustle and bustle eats up a colossal amount of vital energy. There is no time and energy left to look inside and clear the mind. Being in nature, you can finally remember: what exactly you expect from this life and what is really important to you.

You need to go to a retreat in Transcarpathia if you want:

• get rid of nervous tension;
• find peace in meditation;
• to be in a space where no one disturbs you;
• to be in close contact with nature;
• come back completely refreshed.

A retreat is a spiritually enriching break from ordinary life, which is closely related to Buddhism. Monks started this tradition during the time of Gautama Buddha. They performed ascetic practices for three months when there were rains in India. Since then, the monsoon season has been associated with vassa - a rainy fast. But it is not necessary to be a Buddhist and constantly devote time to spiritual practices to go on a retreat in the Carpathians. His concept was adopted by people from many countries of the world. Anyone who needs to get rid of fatigue, stress and dissatisfaction with their life can arrange an individual or group retreat. It usually lasts one week for beginners, but its duration is unlimited. You can be alone outside the city for as long as it takes for you to recover.

A variety of spiritual retreats in the Carpathians

The retreat program combines spiritual practices, proper breathing, physical exercises and body healing. Participants of the retreat do not become complete ascetics. They don't have to give up the benefits of civilization to clear their minds. They can spend the night in a hotel, and during the day walk in the forest, do yoga and take a course of medical therapy as prescribed by their doctor. Currently, retreats with different programs are organized:

• Yoga retreat. One of the most popular destinations among men and women. It is suitable for beginners and experienced retreaters. They practice conscious breathing, asanas and deep meditations.
• Immersion in silence. This is a rather complex retreat that will force you to face your main fear — to know your true self. No talking is allowed during the silence retreat. All time should be devoted to spiritual practice surrounded by nature. At first it is very difficult to remain silent, but after a few days the desire to say something disappears. This retreat helps to achieve mental balance and emotional peace.
• Female. The program may include meditation, yoga in the Carpathians, art therapy, fairy tale therapy, musical evenings, etc. The participants engage in spiritual practices to get rid of their internal barriers. They learn to understand themselves and realize life.
• Corporate. It is a collective trip to find new ideas, improve personal effectiveness and build relationships. Many entrepreneurs went on individual retreats, after which they began to organize them for employees. These trips have nothing to do with corporate events. This is a joint journey, where everyone devotes time to themselves. A corporate retreat helps to get out of a creative crisis and overcome professional burnout.
• Family. Spouses or lovers go on vacation to realize their couple as a whole. During the retreat, spiritual practices are combined with Thai massage, yoga, chanting of mantras, art therapy, dancing, master classes on the preparation of healthy sweets or vegetarian dishes. In the Carpathians, a lot of time is spent on joint entertainment to get closer, restore trust, strengthen relationships and focus on them, not on everyday life. Couples retreats are very popular in America.

People who go on any retreat consciously go on a "digital detox" - give up gadgets or use them for a limited time. In this way, they manage to better concentrate on what is happening right now, and not live life, mentally being in the past or future.
