“A journey is not just about going far but returning to yourself.”
The recent retreat at Nui Tuong Village Stay has concluded, leaving behind a sense of serenity and connection. Over the past few days, we – both the participants and the organizing team – felt a renewed energy and cherished the valuable lessons gained from nature and our inner selves.
🌿 A Space for Tranquility and Healing
Amidst the peaceful scenery of Nui Tuong, each morning began with birdsong and gentle breaths in yoga and meditation sessions. Many participants shared that simply sitting by the river, listening to the flowing water, brought them a sense of peace they had never encountered before.
✨ Unforgettable Memories from Special Activities
A highlight of the retreat was the walking journey across fields and winding rural paths, where everyone not only admired the beauty of the landscape but also deepened their connection with nature. Moments spent sitting together at the dining table or quietly focusing on our breaths were equally precious amidst the busyness of this worldly existence.
💚 Inspirational Insights
The retreat emphasized reflections on the harmony of body and mind, the intricate balance of brain and body, energy and blood flow—all coming together in unity.
There were also profound yet paradoxical insights shared by our revered monk during Q&A sessions. For instance, when asked, “How can I stop feeling cold?” the monk humorously suggested, “Jump into cold water.” Or to someone with a headache, he advised, “Go for a run or play some sports.” These simple yet practical answers gave participants new perspectives on life’s challenges.
Beyond moments of relaxation, the retreat offered opportunities for open-hearted sharing, creating genuine connections and lasting bonds among participants.
🎯 A Journey That Continues
While the retreat has ended, the values it imparted will stay with participants as they carry unresolved thoughts and reflections to ponder in the future. They returned not only with a sense of calm but also with a determination to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle and spread positive energy to their communities.
