Plan A Healthy And Holistic Weekend Getaway At This Wellness Retreat Place

The benefits of focusing on self awareness or tuning into your body and taking the time to nourish it properly are profound. According to research, the more we practice self-care, the more confident, creative, and productive we become. And with proper practice, we can also make better decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively. Sounds like a pretty good path to personal development, doesn’t it? 

A fews weeks ago, we were treated to a quick trip to The Farm at San Benito for a one-of-a-kind wellness experience with Thai cult favorite skincare brand Snailwhite. Along with our other media friends and content creators, we learned a lot of things about mindfulness, taking care of ourselves, and ageing gracefully. And of course, we also got the chance to experience the latest secret for helping skin age well: the Snailwhite Gold moisturizer. 

If you want a holistic mind-body-soul reboot, we recommend you to visit this 48-hectare lush garden in Lipa City, Batangas. They offer holistic wellness programs accompanied by exclusive amenities such as a relaxing swimming pool, a garden area for wellness activities, and restaurants that specialize in vegan and seafood cuisines. 

Our day at The Farm started with a delicious 3-course lunch courtesy of their vegan restaurant called "Alive!". All meals were remarkably flavorful and fresh since the restaurant’s farm-to-table philosophy is in play.

For the second part of the trip, A Mindfulness Workshop with Meditation and Mindfulness was led by certified mindfulness coach Sara Black. For this exercise, she led us to the amphitheater by encouraging us to do some grounding work. Grounding is the act of stepping on the ground barefoot. By doing this, we were able to focus and stay in the present which is what being mindful is all about. And then, once everyone was in the amphitheater, Sara asked us to take the time to meditate and reflect on our lives. 

For the last activity, we proceeded to the Healing Sanctuary to experience the signature Snailwhite Gold Treatment. The treatment was a combination of an aqua lymphatic massage and a facial using Snailwhite Gold. 

The treatment started with a 20-minute session of dry brushing to remove the dead skin cells, to help the circulation of lymph fluid, and stimulate the flow of blood throughout the body. Afterwhich, we stayed in the sauna for 10 minutes of detox and were asked to take a few minutes of an ice-cold shower, where a bucket of ice-cold water is safely poured on us to revitalize our bodies and balance out our body temperature. Once back in our respective rooms, the aestheticians applied the Snailwhite Gold cream via special patting and massaging technique to moisturize the skin. 

Overall, this quick paradise retreat is definitely worth the out-of-town visit. It’s nourishing to all senses, and it encourages people to find their inner peace that will eventually help radiate positive energies once back in the hustle and bustle of city life. So if you’re itching to get out of the city to quickly get away, an essential retreat awaits you in this lush space!
