Meditation retreats
Whether you’re craving mental clarity, working on being more mindful or simply want a sense of peace, a meditation retreat would be perfect for you. Some retreats cater purely for meditation, while most include it as an activity in its own right, alongside yoga, mindfulness, hiking and treatments, for example.
To learn or practise this useful life hack, you can head to the Yorkshire Dales in England, a wellbeing haven in Monmouthshire in Wales, a tropical jungle setting in Bali, and a venue close to Madison Square Gardens in New York in the USA, among others.
