In today’s fast-paced world, many of us find ourselves constantly on the go, racing from one task to the next without taking a moment to pause and reflect. This can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and burnout, leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the world around us.

Practicing mindfulness offers a way to combat these negative emotions and connect with the present moment, promoting feelings of calm, clarity, and inner peace. One effective way to jump-start your mindfulness journey is by attending a wellness retreat for mindfulness.

In Mineral Wells, Texas, a city known for its healing waters, there’s a wellness retreat where participants can soak up the mineral waters, indulge in mindfulness activities, and go home with the tools to cultivate and keep a greater sense of well-being.

The Crazy Wellness Retreat offers four annual retreats, each based on a different theme — whether it’s nutrition, mindfulness, movement, or sleep. The spring retreat that I’ll attend focuses on mindfulness, and even after two decades of publishing a wellness magazine, I had to look up some of the modalities we’ll experience (such as Ubuntu and heart sound recording). I’m truly eager to experience this healing weekend.

Below is the itinerary for the spring event I’ll attend. Follow along, or use it to plan your visit to one of their wellness retreats.
