To make the most of your time at the spa and retreat we recommend disconnecting from social media, putting away your emails and work computer, leaving your phone in your room and limiting the amount of activities you do to distract from sitting still and taking in the world around you. Moments of silence that can be provided through walks along the beach, swims in the ocean, or a luscious spa encounter a great ways to undo the built up knots in your life and create space and room to breathe and move, Just remember whatever you put into your experience you will get out of it so do not be afraid to let go of your phone for example and take a moment to just be.
