Morning
Practice before breakfast, then the longest session of the day.

What to Expect on a Retreat
A day, and the arc of a whole week — written by people who have sat through both.
In short
Most retreats open with a personal wellness consultation, then settle into a daily rhythm of morning practice, guided sessions, holistic therapies, nutritious food and free time to reflect.
- A consultation on day one, almost always
- Two practice sessions on a typical day
- Accommodation from eco guesthouse to villa
What it involves
A day, roughly
The pattern varies by retreat, but not by much.
Midday
Food, and unstructured time. Most schedules leave the middle open.
Evening
A lighter session, a treatment, or a talk. Early nights are the norm.
The part people skip
Integration — what happens in the days after, and in the weeks once you are home — decides whether a retreat holds. It is also the first thing cut from a cheap programme.
We check that it exists before recommending anything, and say so when it does not.
