How to Choose the Right Retreat Program

If you’re looking for a clear, practical approach (without overwhelm), you’re in the right place.

What you’ll learn

  • The simplest way to start today
  • What to do when your mind wanders
  • A tiny routine you can repeat
  • How to stay consistent

A simple practice (5–10 minutes)

1. Sit comfortably and soften your shoulders.

2. Breathe naturally and notice the inhale/exhale.

3. When attention drifts, label “thinking” and return to breath.

4. Finish with one intention: “May I be calm. May I be kind.”

Common mistake

Trying to force silence. Instead, practice returning—gently—again and again.

Next step

Pick a time you can repeat (morning or evening) and do the minimum version daily for 7 days. Consistency beats intensity.
