WHY RETREAT?
LIFELONG FRIENDSOur retreats create space for the group to bond through common interests and ideals. They are designed to create opportunities for personal growth alongside like-minded people who take on supporting roles, helping the crew grow as one. These people can become lifelong friends who you'll want to stay connected with for years to come!
|
HEALTHY ME TIMEWith a myriad of self-care techniques taught at each retreat, you will also receive space for you. At Hike & Heal Wellness we focus on the whole individual, which is why the word heal ("to become whole") is in our name. Besides group activities, you'll have time to be with your thoughts and reconnect to the real you. Become healthier in all areas of your life!
|
BOND IN NATURE"Nature is the healer, the guide opens the door." You will activate all of your senses and connect internally on levels many of us tend to ignore. With a deeper relationship to our natural world, you will find yourself more creative and compassionate, less stressed, living mindfully in the present moment, and moving slower to fully appreciate life.

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.
