From Wisdom She Wrote: We tend to go through life at a warped speed. Wouldn’t it be nice to just say “to hell with it all!”??? Well that’s what a ZeroFucks Retreat is designed to do!

Pause. Regroup. Reenergize.

For the last 10 years, I have been managing events around the world for a US government organization. My logistics business has taken me to places I would never have seen otherwise.

Cyprus was on my list. When I first arrived, I was impacted by the mystical, ageless atmosphere of the island.

The white sunburnt farms, the cobbled-stoned streets, the olive and grape groves, and the timeless presence of human survival.

A treasure in the Mediterranean where military empires made crucial decisions that changed the face of European history.

There is a calm, stoic force there that makes you want to put the pieces of your life back into perspective.

The travel agents and event planners in Cyprus were eager to show me the secrets of their beautiful home. When I left, I couldn’t get the images out of my mind.

Caught up in my world of obligations and business, it was difficult to keep this vision alive until recently, when I fell down the stairs in my home and almost broke my back.

Everything indicated that I had suffered permanent damage to my spinal column. At first, all I could feel were excruciating muscle spasms, except for my right arm; that I couldn’t feel at all.

The paramedics carried me out of my house with a neck brace, flat on my back, crying from the pain. Miraculously, no sign of severe damage showed up on the MRI and CAT scans!

These are the times when life says, “STOP!”

I thought of the daily stress, the temporary issues that stop me from seeing the big picture.

And I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to create an experience where burnout shifts to wonder and delight? A retreat designed to clear out the small stuff and open our eyes to the big picture?”

The name speaks for itself: Zero Fucks Retreats.

Together, we are creating a space to release unnecessary baggage in exchange for a taste of timeless peace.

Cyprus is where wanderers and armies plowed through the Mediterranean waters, and empires rose and fell without disturbing the simple Cypriot life. A perfect scenario for freedom and change.

A Zero Fucks Retreat is especially designed to help you remember who you are and what’s really important.

Similar to de-hoarding, you will let go of the trivial and focus on your calling. You will give yourself permission to recapture your dreams by refusing to allow the “Fucks” to clutter your mind.

Whether you’re walking alone on the beach, enjoying the silence of the evening, sipping wine with your retreat companions, or visiting an ancient site, the goal will be to give yourself permission to change.

Experience our Myths, Merlot and Mindfulness Retreat with us this September.

You deserve it!
