Transformative Retreat Experience: My Journey with Craig Harmer
Have you ever stumbled upon something that felt like fate, yet your own doubts almost held you back? That’s exactly how I felt when Craig’s “Spiritual Development Retreat” crossed my Facebook feed.
Well, this is my Transformative Retreat Experience: My Journey with Craig Harmer. It sounded like everything I had been searching for— a chance to delve deep into my spirituality, connect with like-minded souls, and explore avenues of personal growth. However, as excited as I was, my inner sceptic, my “monkey mind,” almost convinced me not to go. Even as I arrived at the retreat’s serene location, as beautiful and peaceful as it was, there were doubts that continued to plague me.
The first evening, I found myself on the verge of fleeing, my car keys practically calling to me. It was the voice of self-doubt, amplified by the unfamiliarity of the journey ahead, that almost led me to turn back. But something within me urged me to stay, to push through the discomfort and embrace the unknown. And I’m eternally grateful that I did. Throughout the entirety of the retreat, from that first night to the very last moment, I found myself immersed in a world of profound self-discovery, healing, and spiritual awakening.

One of the most transformative aspects of the retreat was the series of workshops led by Craig Harmer. Each session felt like a gentle nudge, encouraging us to explore the depths of our inner selves.
The Vision Quest, in particular, stands out in my memory. Guided by Craig’s expert guidance, using sound and scent as our guides, we went on a soul-stirring journey of introspection. The insights I gained into my life’s purpose and the clarity I experienced were deeply impactful.
Similarly, the “Monkey Mind to the Mind of a Monk” workshop offered practical tools to quiet the chatter of my mind. Under Craig’s gentle guidance, I learned invaluable techniques that continue to bring peace and clarity into my daily life.
But what resonated with me most were the daily Prana meditation exercises. These sessions were like a warm embrace for my soul, helping me to connect with my inner wisdom and spiritual guides on a profound level. Even now, back in the hustle and bustle of daily life, I find myself returning to these practices for solace and grounding.
Beyond the workshops, the sense of community and support that permeated every moment made the retreat truly special. Whether we were coming together as a group or taking time for personal reflection, there was always a sense of warmth and acceptance. Nothing was off limits or a must-do which completely took the pressure off the weekend, I could only stretch myself as far as I could or was comfortable at the moment.
And let’s not forget about the incredible vegetarian meals lovingly prepared by Jenny at Heartlands. Each dish was a nourishing reminder of the importance of self-care and holistic well-being.
In conclusion, my experience at Craig’s Spiritual Development Retreat was nothing short of transformative. If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat. It’s an opportunity to invest in yourself and uncover the depths of your potential.
