One of the deepest human desires is to connect with other people.
Our brains are programmed to connect with others or to be part of a group. Evolutionarily it only makes sense, because surviving alone in nature was hard and dangerous.
When our nervous system is in ventral vagal tone, and our parasympathetic system predominates, we feel safe and like to socialize, spend time with other people and feel calm and relaxed.
When people pass away, we usually remember how we felt with them. Not how much money they had or how successful they were.
How they made us feel.
Unfortunately, this can sometimes be a little deceptive. For example, when we are in love but love the idea of the person more, even though we hardly know the person. But the hormone cocktail has us floating on cloud nine and so we tend to overlook things that we would otherwise dislike about a person or that wouldn't actually make us feel so good, bit knowing it deep inside.
Not every connection goes deep and it doesn't have to. Sometimes these connections are only very short, but they are still important and can leave an imprint.
Experiencing something in a community connects us. And that's what makes a retreat different from regular yoga classes. That's why I love holding retreats. It is supporting each other and the feeling that the participants and I leave with the other participants, that they will always remember.
Retreats are a very special experience in a very special community. Even more so if you have the same health challenges, for example.
Don't miss out on this!
