A retreat is an age-old form to withdraw from the hectic pace of everyday life and to make room for essence. To take care of who you are and what you want in life. Both on a personal and professional level.

In earlier times, retreats were mainly set in the light of religious and spiritual research. In the West there were the monasteries and in the East the ashrams with both their daily rhythms and atmosphere encouraging reflection. With room for in-depth conversations and above all: Time. Time for the essence of life, time to reflect and to connect.

A retreat today can be a welcome respite to seek out that essence, to connect to oneself and to that power called life, our own Spirit within. The present time is a fast time in which we as human beings ask a lot of ourselves. A retreat offers that space and time. We all need time to take a step back, relax, meditate and see ourselves more clearly. A spiritual retreat allows us to hit pause and find time to connect to ourselves and our Spirit within to bring us more peace in our day to day lives.

Phoenix World offers retreats in South Africa, Thailand and Europe. There will always be a combination with elements of personal development, (self) healing, meditation or mediumship and all that the culture where the retreat is held has to offer. A life changing opportunity to nurture the Soul, relax, grow, heal and enjoy the essence of life itself.
