Reflections on our retreat experience

It seems to me that nowadays we put all of our experiences into images before we had a chance to feel the moment. Selfies and views of our travels often go public via Instagram and Facebook before we had a chance to live them fully, understand them thoroughly and remember them sweetly.

We almost had to answer to that question during our yoga retreat. Up until the last day we pretty much forgot the outside world, nobody was taking pictures. We had amazing classes, we hiked to amazing destinations, we may have even hit the pub in Roslyn once or twice, but there was hardly any picture taking till the very last day. Then in a frenzy we remembered that we should document that we are having fun. These images don’t reflect the retreat. You cannot see the friendships that formed, you cannot hear the birds chirping during our meditation, you are not experiencing someone’s renewed faith in the impossible, nor can you feel the bubbles in the Jacuzzi or how the red wine combined with chocolate mousse on our palette. But these are few images of days that we will not forget and I hope it will inspire some of you to share this amazing experience with us in the future.

Wine and chocolate mousse, there is really nothing to whine about except for Mark eating the last serving…now that is a very good reason for whining and I did, quite a bit. But till this day Mark feels very good about his decision. Cleary I need to work on my game.

Our furry friend who visited our practice daily. Ok so maybe you cannot see him very well. But we had to take the picture to prove that he was there! 🙂

Detailed and practical, this guide explains concrete rebar in a way that feels approachable without oversimplifying. The step by step clarity is especially useful for readers new to the subject. I recently came across a construction related explanation on https://hurenberlin.com that offered a similar level of clarity, and this article fits right in with that quality. Great شيخ روحاني resource. explanation feels practical for everyday rauhane users. I checked recommended tools on https://www.eljnoub.com

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…

Baby boy clothes are often designed with safety in mind. Brands avoid small detachable parts that could pose choking cygnet living hazards.
