The pains of COVID

The impact of COVID somehow stripped our accountability.

 

Meaning, when you are authentically vulnerable regarding accountability, you will learn to eliminate the time and effort you spend on distracting activities and other unproductive behaviour.

The COVID Calm Retreats enables you to become accountable for your actions, effectively teaching you to value your work and as such, increase your skills and confidence. At the COVID Calm Retreat you will also learn to:

  1. Address the feeling, and the reality of being stuck
  2. Learn to deconstruct overwhelm
  3. Face the loss and grief you suffered during the
    pandemic emotionally, relationally and financially.
  4. Free yourself from feeling trapped and out of
    options

We are in this together

The COVID Calm Retreat attract people with similar concerns or interests.

This offers you the opportunity to spend memorable moments with like-minded people who are looking to achieve the same goals as you.

These people act as your support system as you work toward your goal and also act as a mirror to help you identify issues that you couldn’t have on your own. Most importantly, they let you realise that you are not alone.

The COVID Calm Retreat also provide you the opportunity to make friends that you can remain in touch with even after you return home. This gathering of similar people is not characteristic to regular vacations.

 

About the retreat

The aspects of the COVID Calm Retreat at Carus Gardens are all in line with what you are seeking to achieve.

From the location, accommodation, food, facilities, professional consultation, activities and exercises en sure that it is much more impactful and long-lasting than break-aways, where you are more apt to binge, gossip, and probably still spend time finishing work.

One of the most significant advantages of the COVID Calm Retreat is that it offers you proximity to nature and its healing touch. Being close to nature reduces the production of cortisol—our primary stress hormone. Moreover, clean air, calm surroundings, and plants allow you to unwind and thoroughly rejuvenate so that you can have a fresh start to your life upon return.
