164. 4 Reasons Why Retreats Are So Transformational (& Why You Need More In Your Life)

As you may know by now, we are holding a transformative ending body burnout retreat experience in August 2026 - The Body Knows Retreat - at The Cove Tasmania (in North-West Tasmania). If you have been umming and ahhhing about attending, and not really sure if it would be worth your time, money and attention, today’s episode will help you to decide! We share our own experiences of attending multi-day retreats and putting on live in person events (some have had 100’s of people attend), and what we have found most transformative - and how they have changed our health and our lives for the better!   

 

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about:

  • Not all retreats are “transformational” and what differentiates this
  • A transformational retreat is an intentionally curated journey
  • The importance of entering a retreat experience with an intention
  • How the unconscious mind starts shifting the moment you say YES to yourself
  • Recognising if you’re running “space & time” scarcity 
  • How carving out time for deep connection is essential for healing and maintaining a beautiful relationship with yourself
  • Surprising stats that demonstrate health benefits even years after a retreat
  • Why your body is craving meaningful connection with other humans, even if your conscious mind doesn’t know it
  • Why nature so deeply supports a human’s healing - it’s in our DNA
