A retreat is a group vacation, but with a purpose beyond tourism or leisure time. With a successful retreat, shared relationships will help energize the group and come up with ways to pursue the shared interest. Retreat organizers like Helene Van Manen, of Pueblo, Colo., recommend setting a date at least six months in advance. As long as you’re not traveling internationally, four days seems to be the sweet spot for a good retreat. Stay in touch before the retreat: An email or text thread or private Facebook group is a great way to organize and stay excited about the retreat, says Kansas City wellness coach Melanie Nicsinger, who coordinates yoga retreats.
