How to Plan a Personal Retreat
What is a Personal Retreat?
A personal retreat is just what is sounds like! It’s a way for you to get away alone, away from your normal obligations and responsibilities. For some, it could mean a day at the spa or laying on the beach, but since personal retreats only come maybe a couple times a year for me, I like to make the most of it, combining rest and relaxation with planning and reflecting.
Why Should I Plan a Personal Retreat?
You should feel the freedom to plan one no matter what, but I think especially if your primary role involves you wearing many hats, then a personal retreat is a great idea. For me, it’s hard to get any kind of break from my normal responsibilities without getting out of the house for big blocks of time (at least a full day). Maybe you work full-time but also have kids and spend a lot of your time driving them around, cooking, and supervising the management of your household. A personal retreat will be a break from all those things, and it will also hopefully give you the opportunity to look ahead to the future and see where you might want to make some changes.
How Do I Plan My Personal Retreat?
There is one big question and two secondary questions you’ll need to ask yourself when you begin to plan. The first question is: What kind of day would help me most feel like myself? There are a thousand answers to this question, and you don’t have to have it all planned out right away, but thinking about this will lead you to one of the secondary questions: Where should I go for my personal retreat? How you answer will depend a lot on how you answered the first question! For me, I need at least a full day (I like 12 hours at least) or, once a year, an overnight retreat. If you are going to go overnight, you’ll need to make sure you have a plan for where you’ll stay. You might choose to get an inexpensive Airbnb in town or in a town nearby. You could also stay in a hotel, or you might be able to stay at a friend’s house. Just try to pick somewhere where you know you’ll sleep well! If you just plan to be gone for the day, think about places where you can think and preferably have free Wi-Fi! Or even places you’ll be able to go phone-free if that would bring you personal peace.

If you’re trying to eat less meat (or simply wanting to use a super frugal ingredient), you’ve got to try these black bean patties!
Black beans are inexpensive and have lots of protein and fiber. I like to quickly dry my black beans in the oven before making the patties (this helps prevent a potential soggy patty), but this is optional.
We love to eat these plain topped with avocado, but they would be great as a burger on a bun!
Ingredients
- 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I used Panko, but you can use whatever you have on hand)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (any kind is fine)
- 2 tbsp butter
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lay the black beans out on parchment on a baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes (or until the beans look dry). Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, garlic, salt and pepper, chili powder, and cumin and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Remove to a large bowl and allow to cool slightly.
- Once the beans and the onion mixture have cooled, add the beans to the bowl. Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce and stir until everything is well combined.
- Using a fork, mask the mixture until most of it is mashed, but there are still chunks of beans left.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and the butter to the skillet over medium heat. Form the black bean mixture into patties (this mixture will make 6-8) and lay into the skillet.
- Cook each side until well browned and cooked through (about 4 minutes on each side).
