“Somewhere between the moor mud body detox and a close encounter with deer in the forest, it dawns on me: I am deeply, and completely, at peace. With the world; with the moment; with—dare I imagine—myself.”

Our editor found stillness at Grail Springs Retreat for Wellbeing, tucked into the forest near Bancroft, Ontario. Here, the spa soundtrack is real—loons, lapping water, rustling leaves.

It’s part storybook, part sanctuary. Prayer flags sway above a sacred labyrinth. A castle door opens to “one and all.” Inside: a warm welcome, a lakeview room, and a robe waiting for whatever ritual comes next.

🌿 And congratulations to Grail Springs on 32 years of transformation and tranquillity.

"There was no turning back. It was a promise I had made to my daughter, but more importantly, it was a promise I had made to myself. Silence."

Ever wonder what 10 days of total silence might teach you?

At 60, Alison Weihe checked into a silent meditation retreat—and came out with a whole new perspective. No talking, no phones, just stillness. Her story is honest, moving, and surprisingly relatable.

Flying soon? ✈️ Before you post that boarding pass online...

📸 It might seem like a harmless snap for your Insta story, but even a partial pic can expose booking references, frequent flyer numbers, and personal info, all of which scammers can use to change your flights, steal your miles, or even access your passport and payment details.

“Most travellers don’t realize their boarding pass holds the keys to their travel identity,” says Adam Jones, expert at HD LEGAL.

Here's what he recommends:

✋ Skip the boarding pass selfie.
🗑 Shred or destroy your ticket after use.
🔐 Avoid public Wi-Fi when accessing airline apps or booking platforms abroad.
🚨 Shared one by accident? Contact your airline and change your login details asap

Bottom line: Treat your boarding pass like your credit card and stay safe out there.

In a world that glorifies busy, there’s something quietly revolutionary about pressing pause. That’s why calmcations—getaways rooted in rest, reconnection, and restoration—are one of the top travel trends for 2025.

And if you’re looking to trade screen time for sunrise yoga and inboxes for inner peace, Casa Xixim in Tulum’s secluded Soliman Bay might just be your sanctuary.

As seen on Netflix’s The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, this eco-luxury villa doesn’t just invite you to unwind—it shows you how.

Nestled on a private stretch of coastline and designed with sustainable elegance, is a wellness destination where barefoot luxury meets ancient Mayan wisdom, and every detail is a love letter to the land, the sea, and the spirit.

Come for the sustainability. Stay for the private chefs.
