  1. Suggested study time · 15 minutes

    Choose your journey

    Compare programme, pace, room arrangements and exclusions. A proposal becomes a booking only through the agreed offer and confirmation process.

    Your assignment

    Shortlist a retreat and write your practical questions before requesting brochures.

    A reflection to keep

    What matters most in this journey?

  2. Suggested study time · 20 minutes

    Prepare with intention

    Use the details in your confirmed offer and guest pack to prepare. General guidance does not replace the arrangements agreed for your departure.

    Your assignment

    Review the preparation checklist and note any questions for the team.

    A reflection to keep

    What can you settle before travelling?

  3. Suggested study time · 15 minutes

    Make space while away

    Allow time for rest, learning and respectful encounters with a place. Your actual programme comes from the retreat team.

    Your assignment

    Write one intention for practice and one for cultural learning.

    A reflection to keep

    How will you arrive as a learner?

  4. Suggested study time · 20 minutes

    Bring the rhythm home

    A small routine after the retreat can help you continue the practices you found useful.

    Your assignment

    Create a realistic first week at home and choose a course to revisit.

    A reflection to keep

    What will you carry forward?

Work at your own pace. Suggested times include reading and reflection, and do not prescribe a physical practice duration. For unfamiliar movement, learn with a qualified teacher.
