Hey! Thanks for checking out the post! It sounds clichĂ©, but I made a promise to myself. 2023 Iâm going to really try to open up.  New experiences, new adventures, heading into the new year full steam ahead. Meeting new people, trying new things,  unplugging from the chaos of everyday life and attempt to find out who I truly am. I said to myself, what could really jumpstart this decision, what would I be able to do begin this fresh endeavor. Ahh,  a vacation! Vacations are always a good time! Although, it didnât âhitâ the way it should. Itâs needs to be something Iâve never experienced before. As research went on, a retreat!Â
The ultimate âunplugâ. To shut it down, no laptops, very limited phone use. Completely detaching from my everyday life and living in the moment. I was in, I was ready. Then it dawned on me, why go away on a retreat with 50 people where youâre basically just a number? Why not create my own? NO, I am not looking for money. I am looking for company. I am looking to network, I am looking to meet people, to experience life in the most original way possible. Strangers becoming friends, sharing an original idea created by all of us.
My idea so farâŠ
12 individuals. The plan is simple. 6 men, 6 women. As far as age requirements, 21 . Sorry all, but all members of this retreat will be of age.  Aside from age not much else matters. No matter your color, your ethnicity. No matter your sexual preference, or job title. There is no discrimination in this project. This invitation is open to all walks of life. If youâre the shy type, wonderful. If youâre outgoing, terrific! Maybe youâre somewhere in-between! No matter what youâre in fact âbringing something to the tableâ Letâs learn from one another.
However, for this experience to work I feel as though our individuals will need to have a very open mind! I am creating this retreat for a fresh beginning. If youâre a negative person, this may not be for you. If you arenât an outdoor person, this may not be for you. If youâre a one track mind type of individual, this most likely isnât for you.
Once we get our 12 members of the trip, a group chat will begin. We will in fact decide on where we are going to go, together. 4 days, 3 nights.  The destination (TBD) will be in a mountain, country like setting (it will be on the east coast). Populated,  but not too populated area. As far as activities, we will also decide them together. Maybe we will plan a hike, or a walk. Maybe we will go out for a night on the town. Possible set up some workout sessions, or group chats. Letâs have some quiet time to journal, or swap stories of our lives.Â
Together we can decide, and it will be an absolute blast! One other thing, and this is pretty important. When I was researching original retreats I was very intrigued by the plant medicine ones. Specifically the ayahuasca journey. However, since our retreat will not be led by a shaman or medicine man/woman. We will be doing the next best thing, 2 next best things specifically. 3 nights, 3 ceremonies, so if this is something youâre not open to, this retreat is not for you.Â
We will be going about our ceremonies in a safe manner. Our ingredients will be tested, together, and we will proceed. All 12 members will partake in the ceremonies, and we will see where our journey takes us!
I am very excited about this idea, thanks for reading. If this is something you think your like to experience please message me directly! I will be asking some basic questions, and please feel free to ask me as well!Â
Canât wait to hear from you.
