Going on retreat is my number one FAVOURITE thing to do. Before I met my husband I was going on retreat nearly every month! Often flying around the world or just driving around Ireland or various beautiful places in Northern Ireland, even if it was only for the weekend or one day, every retreat does you the power of good. It’s a bit hard to do that many retreats and hold down a relationship or job (but it’s ok if your single and work for yourself which I was) and go on so called ‘normal holidays’ but honestly if you can make some time in your year do a retreat you are giving yourself one of the biggest and best gifts possible.
