Growthcation is not a home retreat

You cannot become a new person by doing old things. Forget your home for a while. Escape from your old life and old you. Find a different environment for your retreat. Go outside your daily routine, obligations, stress, boredom, comfort trap, unsupportive habits, annoying distractions, pain of unfulfilled dreams. Ideally, go to a place where you have never been before. Open a new page, make a new start.

"Push yourself out of your habitual comfort zone."

- Jennifer Louden

Your retreat accommodation doesn't have to be far away or cost a lot. If you are short of time and money, book a cheaper Airbnb apartment near your home or ask a friend to use his/her summer house for a couple of days. But do change your location! Find a place with which you don’t have any negative associations, a place that you will later remember as magical. By separating yourself from everything familiar, you are breaking a pattern and expanding your container. This should be the first step on your life makeover journey.

“We physically interrupt our normal life activity and begin an unusual mode of behavior."

By the way, travel has not ended with the pandemic. On the contrary, it is the beginning of transformational travel. True, you might not be able to fly to the other end of the world at this moment. But you can book a cozy Airbnb home not far from where you live and travel to that peaceful location that somehow speaks to your heart. Growthcation is possible everywhere, be it a longer vacation to distant lands or a shorter staycation close to your home. It's not about how far you travel - it's about what you will do during this trip.

We will give you guidance on how to make this journey extraordinary, unforgettable, and life-transforming. Even if you travel just a few kilometers away from your current home, you can make it an exotic journey, full of newness and adventures. During these turbulent times, we probably don't need another all-inclusive holiday by the pool with tourist animators filling up our free time. We need a date with our inner selves. And this is what Growthcation is all about.

Let’s spread the passion for transformational vacations all over the world. Let’s change the way people travel, one person at a time.

“Change equals self-improvement. Push yourself to places you haven’t been before.”
