If you are feeling overwhelmed by your every day busy lives & the endless scroll of social media, it might be time to make time to relax & unwind, escape & explore and treat yourself to a seasonal self-care retreat.
Our guide will show you how to carve out time for relaxation, connection and a much-needed digital detox.
Why a Seasonal Self-Care Retreat?
In today's busy world, it's essential to prioritize self-care to maintain your well-being. Taking a break from your everyday routine and taking some time to focus on yourself can have a profound impact on your mental and physical health. A seasonal self-care retreat offers the perfect opportunity to reset, recharge, and reconnect with yourself & each other.
Planning Your Retreat
Step 1: Choose A Season
Seasons are our super power here at Thehuteyam & Thecottageeyam.
We very much live by the seasons, embracing cold cosy winters with the log burner & blankets, the freshness of spring, summer under the trees enjoying the firepit, or the crisp air & rich colours of autumn, each season offers you a unique opportunity here for self-care.
Step 2: Find Your Retreat Location
A retreat can take place anywhere you feel at peace, whether it's a Shepherd's hut for two, an old village cottage, or even a cosy corner of your home.
We hope that when you come & stay, you will embrace our art of switching off & maybe take an idea or two home with you to create a space that will help you promote rest & relaxation.
Step 3: Create Your Itinerary
Plan out activities that align with your self-care goals. This could include yoga sessions, nature walks, creative projects, or just some uninterrupted quiet time with a book. Remember, the goal is to disconnect from technology and reconnect with yourself & each other.
Step 4: Pack Thoughtfully
We have everything you will need to help you escape from your every day & relax together. You may not be able to leave your devices behind, but there is a lock box for you to put them away out of sight & distraction. Pack only the essentials like comfortable clothing, your favourite skincare products, and any items that bring you joy. Embracing a minimalist approach can help you to reduce distractions and focus on being present in the moment for a night or two.
Embracing the Digital Detox
Step 5: Unplug and Unwind
Take this opportunity to disconnect from your devices and reconnect with each other. If you are able, resist the urge to check emails or social media, and allow yourself the time & space to be fully present in your surroundings.
Step 6: Immerse Yourself in Nature
Nature has a magical healing effect on the mind and body. Spend time outdoors, breathe in the fresh air, listen to the sounds of the natural world, and notice the beauty of the changing seasons.
Step 7: Practice Mindfulness
Engage in mindfulness practices such as deep breathing or guided meditations to center yourself and cultivate a sense of calm. By staying present in the moment, you can quiet the noise of everyday life and find clarity within. We have a yoga studio just down the hill from us, perfect for an hour two of relaxation. You can even tailor sessions to your needs as a couple to get the most out of your time away together.
