rejuvenation awaits you in rrg Kentucky
Rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit this February...
One of the most impactful forms of self-care, in our opinion, is taking time to get away from the busy spaces in your life. This isn't to say that you need to run away, but rather take a healthy dose of separation from the busier aspects of your life and give your body time to recharge, your mind time to reflect, and your consciousness time to re-center itself.
You are more than your work. Work is important for many reasons, if not just the fact that it supports you and puts food on the table. It also gives a sense of purpose to a lot of folks, allowing them to channel their energies into an act of creation. However, we've come to believe as a collective that our work defines us. It doesn't.
Time away from work is crucial for a balanced and healthy life - retreats in the outdoors are a great way to remind ourselves that we're part of something bigger than our to-do lists. They connect us to our planet, allow us to get back in tune with the natural rhythms of the Earth, and send a message to our body and subconscious that we deserve rest (because we do!). Work from rest instead of resting from work. You'll be happier and your work will improve instantly!
Get in tune with your body. The fact is, we weren't made to run on all cylinders, but American culture is incredibly focused on output and will force us to do just that a lot of the time. This way of life is far from sustainable and we see so many people crumble physically after retirement; this could be in large part to outside factors, but it makes sense that if we don't allow ourselves time to rejuvenate, we'll crash hard whenever we do finally stop. Have you ever gotten sick after an incredibly stressful and taxing month at your job? Exactly.
You don't have to let this societal norm influence the way that you live - even if you love what you do, it's important to send the message to your body that it deserves time to just sit and listen to the birds. You owe it to yourself to rest now so that you can enjoy life when you're done working.
Let your spirit soar. Getting outside, taking time to read, journaling, meditating, and walking slowly all rejuvenate you on a deeper-than-physical level. At the risk of sounding crunchy-granola, we're so much more than just physical beings. We are energy vibrating within and throughout a physical shell, beings that desire and need connection with our planet, our communities, and the complex entwined web of energies that surrounds us.
It's so easy to forget that truth when we don't take the time to feel and experience all of the beauty that surrounds us. Retreat comfortably into the woods and reconnect with an existence that's deeper than the physical, an existence that mirrors where we came from. We promise it'll scratch a deep itch that you didn't even know you had. Your mind will open up, your body will rejoice, and your inner self will be filled to the brim with hope and possibility.
In our opinion, Red River Gorge Kentucky is the perfect space to get time away; it's full of beautiful wildlife, impressive, soaring views, and natural features that will take your breath away. We're biased, but for good reason: this place has been giving us the same gifts mentioned for over 20 years as individuals and as a family. When you're ready to rejuvenate, we have a luxurious cabin, glamping tent, and multiple hiking trails that are set aside just for you.
All you have to do is show up and unpack, ready to accept the joys that come with a solo or group retreat.
