But there were a lot of couples 337 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: this time, so it would be like a lot of 338 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: like like girlfriends, girls trips, mother daughter combos. But this 339 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: trip there were a lot of like couples on wedding anniversaries. 340 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: And it was really nice that you'd do a yoga 341 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: class and there'd be like four or five guys in 342 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: the class, which is really cool. So don't feel like, oh, 343 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: this is something that you couldn't take your partner to 344 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: or anything like that. 345 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 2: It's really nice to go with a partner. And it's 346 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: also one thing I really love about guy. It's quite private. 347 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: So if you went solo, you'd have the best time, 348 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: and you could stay solo, Like sure, you'd make mates 349 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: because you see people at Yog's and they're the same 350 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: people you see at Brecky and stuff. But it is 351 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: so much fun to do it solo, Like I saw 352 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: a few people doing it solo and I was. 353 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: Like, oh, love it. 354 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: And I've done in the past health retreats as a 355 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: guest solo and I always love it. So never be 356 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: intimidated about A going on your own or B worrying. 357 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: About I don't know if my boyfriend will like this. 358 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: Like there were plenty of guys there and they were 359 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: having a right old time and definitely book a massage. 360 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: And I just think, while you know Australia is in, 361 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: we're kind of still kind of like lockdown away from 362 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: the world. I think, you know, supporting local businesses, but 363 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: also like this is a place where you go to 364 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: and you feel like you're escaping. You feel like you're 365 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: going away, Like it's only twelve minutes away from bosson 366 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: Man's home in Bangalow, and we felt like we were 367 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: totally away in Hindland. We didn't like I opened my 368 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: laptop to play music, we didn't do work. I told 369 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: all my work stuff that I wouldn't be on emails 370 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: till the end of the week again. So I think 371 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: you can really switch off and get that feeling like 372 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: you're going away while staying in Australia when you go 373 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: to Gaya. I would highly highly recommend it. It's my 374 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: favorite retreat in the world. So yeah, big love to Gaia. 375 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: I'm going to put all their show notes in here. 376 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: They are their book, their brand new book Surrenderers for 377 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: sale and there's a couple more days. 378 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: I think you'll have two more days to enter. 379 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: So if you buy the book on their website, I'll 380 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: put the show note link in this for you. And 381 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: what they'll do is when you buy the book, you 382 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: go into the to win two nights for free at Gaya. 383 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: To Night's Day amazing.
