Five Inspiring One Day Retreats in Australia

Sometimes, time really is at a premium…

While it would be absolutely lovely to take an entire week (or several) to unwind and rejuvenate in a luxurious retreat – sometimes, you may only have a single day.

But don’t despair! Single-day retreats do exist, and sometimes taking even one day out really can improve your frame of mind. A quick break, to de-stress, relax, and reboot your health will help you return to normal life the following day, with far more enthusiasm.

So check these out and let the relaxing begin.

Don’t underestimate the effects of a day…

As stated in the beginning, one day can be all it takes to recharge your batteries and provide you with a whole different outlook on life. With many one-day retreats you’re likely to learn new strategies or techniques that you’ll be able to use straight away, enabling you to start creating a happier and healthier lifestyle from that day forward.

Plus, it gives you a chance to ‘test drive’ a few retreat centres, so you can see whether you might like to immerse yourself in a longer program, when you do get the chance to invest a little more time.
