"Finding a weekend for myself seemed a near impossibility. Working 55hrs+ weeks, balancing 4 children and even with an understanding wife it’s so easy to find excuses for not putting time aside for yourself. Finally a window opened up and I decided to commit. Blake and Lauren certainly know how to lay it on. I knew with Blake’s involvement there was going to be plenty of action and he didn’t disappoint. We surfed, we did breathe work including wipeout simulations in the pool, we did ice baths, we ran barefoot through the bush, we jumped off rocks into the ocean, we hiked one epic morning and we shared stories which resulted in raucous laughter and a few tears. Lauren kept us extremely well fed (food was unbelievable)so we were always energised and ready for the next adventure. I learnt a lot over the weekend but the big takeaway was that it’s important to make the effort to take time out of your busy life and just do something for yourself. These retreats are an awesome place to kick start the process."
