I got a lot from the retreat however it’s worth knowing that the accommodation varies wildly from very dated and dark, to light airy and modern. Some apartments are alongside a sailing school. This can have an impact on your trip depending on your expectations and the weather! The village is a scrappy little place but not without its charms. The retreat part of it is a mixed bag and a bit weird. There are so many approaches / techniques that it becomes confusing. I wouldn’t recommend the optional courses to beginners however the morning meditations, moving mediation and walk are consistent and a safe bet. Although there is no pressure to do anything, I felt pressured and judged by other guests - only a couple mind, but it was enough to make me uncomfortable at times. I think the retreat is fine if you’re looking for some structure to wrap around a solo trip. Next time, I’m taking the Headspace app, booking into a nice apartment, and spending the money I save on experiences.
