Need a Non-Gift Gift? Try a DIY Health Retreat
Want a unique gift idea that’s not only thoughtful but also fun? Consider hosting a DIY health retreat with friends! This year, my group and I decided to ditch the usual gift exchange and focus on nourishing our minds, bodies, and souls. Here’s how we did it:
- We committed to one evening, then one day until 4:00, scheduled after Christmas and before New Years.
- Each person was responsible for one hour or more of the schedule, which usually took the form of a lecture followed by an activity.
- We made liberal use of YouTube on the TV – Yoga with Adrienne, guided meditation, and breath work – and some second location field trips, like the community rec center and a nearby forest for a forest bathing walk.
- Two people generously covered dinner and lunch as part of their presentation (benefits of plant-based diet and how to customize Buddha bowls), but you could also take up a modest collection to cover food.
- One person hosted in the evening and a different person hosted for the next day.
- People were encouraged to leave their phones in the communal charger, unless they were needed for an activity.
It was really fun to have a space and time dedicated to just hanging out with each other. You could create whatever restrictions would benefit your group. This year, we’re thinking about making one day a silent retreat. Try it out and see what works best for you!
