The Power of Intentional Retreat at Year’s Turning

New Year’s resolutions often fail because they’re made in haste, without the deeper reflection and planning required for genuine change. A dedicated retreat creates space for the contemplation, strategic planning, and genuine commitment that lasting transformation requires.

Ballinderry Park’s peaceful setting, expert facilitators, and thoughtfully designed programming create the ideal environment for this sacred year-turning work.

Retreat Program Components

Reflective Journaling on the Year Past: Begin by consciously acknowledging the year just completed. Guided journaling sessions help you identify accomplishments, challenges overcome, lessons learned, and experiences that shaped your growth. This reflection honors your journey while creating psychological closure on the previous cycle.

Values and Vision Clarification: Many resolutions fail because they’re disconnected from deeper values. Our facilitators guide you through exercises clarifying what truly matters to you—beyond surface-level goals. From this grounded place, your resolutions emerge as authentic expressions of your values rather than “shoulds.”

Goal Setting and Strategic Planning: We guide you through research-backed goal-setting processes that dramatically increase achievement. Learn to set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound), identify potential obstacles, develop implementation strategies, and create accountability structures supporting long-term success.

Wellness Practices for Sustainable Change: Transformation requires supporting your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. Retreat programming includes:

• Yoga and movement: Practices that ground you in your body, release tension, and energize
• Meditation and mindfulness: Tools for managing stress, cultivating clarity, and accessing intuitive wisdom
• Nutrition guidance: Learning to fuel your body in ways that support health and sustained energy
• Sleep optimization: Creating conditions for restorative rest essential to wellbeing
• Holistic wellness consultations: Personalized guidance on creating sustainable wellness routines

Specialized Retreat Tracks

Daily Retreat Rhythm

Successful retreats balance structure with flexibility, allowing both focused work and integration time:

• 7:30 AM – 8:30 AM: Optional yoga or movement practice
• 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM: Nourishing breakfast

Supportive Environment and Community

While focused on individual goals, many guests find deep value in the retreat community. Group discussions, shared meals, and optional circle sessions create supportive connection with others on their own transformational journeys. This community provides encouragement, accountability, and often lasting friendships.

Alternatively, for those seeking solitude, individual retreat options provide personal guidance, private facilitator sessions, and the space to work entirely alone.
