If you were to create a retreat or retreat center, what would it

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 23, 2008:
This is a really interesting question for us (myself and my life and business partner) because we're actively creating a retreat centre in Aberystwyth, Wales, now.
Why here? We live here and find it so inspiring, with both the sea and spectacular mountainous landscape close at hand. We also have a great community of alternative therapists, and a good flow of tourists looking for something different. The town is dominated by a university so, again, there are many people who spend a few years in Aberystwyth, learning and researching, who have since moved away. We ain to create an inspiring excuse to return, even if only for a few days.
The core of the retreat will be mind therapies - an opportunity to learn and apply NLP (my speciality) as well as look after the body.
We'll have to start slowly and grow organically. Currently we're looking for some training rooms to hire, and eventually we'll buy an appropriate building.
If anyone here has done something similar, or wants to keep up to date with our progress, we'd love to hear from you - for our benefit, and so we can support your intentions too.
Love and light,
Ian
