@retreatmaia: Every retreat has a particular feeling. It begins before we arrive, with the promise of waking somewhere unfamiliar where the usual shape of life has loosened. There are places that change us simply because of what novelty surrounds us: the look of the light, the feel of the air, the taste of the food. And then there are the things we remember without ever having anticipated them; the things that live eternally because we experienced them with complete presence of mind. In many ways, a retreat is not so much a place we go to, but a particular way of being somewhere. And every place has its own way of asking us to be there. #DownToEarth #RetreatMaia #YogaRetreat #MindfulTravel #WellnessRetreat
