Mind Body Spirit
Retreat
Friday April 2nd (Good Friday) to Sunday April 4th (Easter
Sunday)
Spiritualize your soul, focus your mind and rejuvenate your
body by experiencing this short-break with a difference. Why not try out a spiritual retreat over the Easter break?
You'll notice the difference on Monday. In fact, in 2009 several people sent us cards weeks or months after their
retreat commenting that they were still intellectually, emotionally and spiritually benefiting from the
experience.
Arrival: The general arrival time for retreats is 6pm.
As you need to cross on a ferry to get to the island, it is most convenient to have everyone arrive for 6pm.
However, if you want to arrive later or a little earlier, that can be
arranged.
