Retreat Culture: A Growing Trend
People are starting to make a healthier choice when it comes to booking their vacations and looking at specialized retreats. The realities surrounding us are stressful - the economy, healthcare, global warming. Vacations are supposed to reduce your stress levels and wellness retreats are created to do just that. Anamaya Retreat Center in Montezuma, Costa Rica has a variety of retreats that are designed to increase your overall quality of life. They provide a nice alternative to the all-inclusive resort vacation that doesn't focus on health or wellness.
It could be argued that the typical all-inclusive resort does not encourage healthy behaviors. Over eating and an increase in alcohol consumption is encouraged and customary. Vacationers are also not really getting a true impression of the Culture for the Country that they are guests of by staying at an all-inclusive. Most people go on vacation to relax but does this environment genuinely diminish stress?
A rapidly growing spa and retreat culture has been created as these types of vacations have accomplished great success. Anamaya Retreat Center has encouraged this trend by offering a variety of health and adventure retreats to customers who want a new and unique experience. Retreats are designed to be enlightening, creative, rejuvenating, romantic, adventurous and more. The retreats normally have great individualized packages that are priced very reasonably.
Some of the more common retreat vacations are spa and yoga retreats but there are a number of options. Some of retreats available are for body detox, creative writing, dancing, painting, circus performing, and spiritual or emotional healing. The specific theme of the vacation package meets the desires of the traveler which makes these retreats incredibly attractive. For example, at Anamaya guests are nestled in charming cabinas surrounded by the rainforest overlooking breathtaking ocean views.
Another commonality amongst retreats is the focus on healthy, organic food. Although the science behind food health is still relatively new, Anamaya resort prepares the food they serve with a lot of thought and love. An abundance of care goes into creating the recipes they use, they have very close relationships with the organic farms that grow the food they buy, and they cater to any dietary needs. Many retreats include Raw Food workshops into their packages or focus specifically on detoxifying the body through diet.
As the movement towards retreat vacations grows, there is an increasing need for facilities where retreat leaders can host their programs. Anamaya retreat center hosts numerous retreats. "Leading a retreat at Anamaya is such a delight. The Yoga Deck is by far the best place I have ever taught yoga. I will never forget that glorious and expansive view of the ocean. The food is amazing. Oscar is a wonderful chef and the Staff are all such lovely and helpful people. Myself and my students received much more than expected. Look forward to doing it again," says Daniella Cotreau of Body Temple Yoga. The location of the facility needs to contribute to the vacation retreat - hence the word vacation. Some popular destinations for retreats are Costa Rica, Indonesia and India.
