It can seem counterintuitive to escape to a retreat in an attempt to be more social. But a growing number of destinations recognise the best route to improved wellbeing is through activities that promote bonding, social conidence and interaction. In other words, healing through being with others. It is any wonder? Studies show those having regular face-to-face conversations are less likely to report symptoms of depression, and that the better your social skills, the better your overall health. Being with others IRL also strengthens the brain, decreasing risk of cognitive decline. So next holiday, mix it up and get closer: these all give a gentle push in the right direction.
