If you can't get away for a meditation retreat (or afford one), here are 7 tips for a DIY Meditation Retreat:
Tell your family and friends you are going away for the weekend.
Create a schedule of the activities you want to do.
Make your retreat a mix of active, relaxation, education and fun.
Do any household chores you would normally do on the weekend on the Friday before you check in for your home retreat.
Plan your meals and shop for them beforehand or preorder takeaway or book your favourite restaurant.
Pack a bag with all the items you will need for your activities so they are all in the one place.
Turn your phone off.
