1. Start your retreat right this moment. Read all of our 23 retreat descriptions and feel into each one. How and why do particular places call to you? And how can you begin incorporating that calling right now?

2. Create a pilgrimage to your pilgrimage. A great retreat is a journey. Who and what are you taking with you? Are you going solo or with a friend or partner? If you’re going solo, is there a guide or a friend who can help you plan? You may want to choose your top five retreats and spend a week winnowing down the list, either by yourself or with your travel partner.
