Take Care of Business

Before leaving for your time at the retreat, take care of as much business as you can, ideally leaving a solid two-week window for preparation without business chaos interfering. Before your two-week final preparation, take care of all those lingering details, such as finances, emails, bills, washing the car, making arrangements with the cat-sitter...

Before you depart, clean your home or your room, so that when you return there isn’t a pile of dirty clothes on your bed and a stack of overdue bills on your table. You are preparing now for your return, so create a soft, safe and clear space for when you land. As you will notice, what is without is also reflected within, so a clean space will provide a sense of inner calm that allows you to focus your energies on integration when you get home.
