Highland retreats are more than just a weekend activity for the family. They offer a unique opportunity to step back from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the tranquility of nature, free from the usual noise and distractions.
An excellent way to connect with nature is to feel and embrace silence, to be distant for a while, and to be grounded. That's human nature; we always find ways to heal our bodies and souls naturally. And for us, it will always be our little sanctuary—our farm far away from the city.
A weekend retreat is a nourishment for the soul. We inhale the pure energy of nature, exhaling the toxic negativity that may have accumulated within us. These stagnant energies are like poison that must be released from our body system. Nature, with its cleansing and healing properties, rejuvenates us.
Our coffee tastes even better as we have a soulful conversation. This begins a journey towards the soulful discovery of our capacity for sustainable environmental development. It is in this place that plans and dreams materialize.
As I sip my coffee, I reminisce about when I first saw this underdeveloped site in the middle of 2019. In July of this year, the dream materialized through the capacity of my parents, who have been farming on this farmland for years.
This place is where we can experience solitude as we contemplate or meditate. It teaches us an important life lesson about contentment but being bold and daring to dream and survive.
Our weekend highland retreat is a simple celebration of life. We will forever be thankful to the Divine for a meaningful life— where dreams are alive.
