Have you ever wanted to play an instrument? Learn a new language? Develop a skill? or simply sit and enjoy a book? Modern overstimulation makes these pursuits feel impossible. The focus needed to acquire such skills has never been harder to find. At Reset Retreat, we demonstrate to participants that when given the right structure, achieving valuable skills and characteristics is not just possible, but genuinely satisfying.
What to expect
Day 1- Dopamine Detox
Studies have shown that stimulus deprivation such as through isolation, greatly help to restore our natural dopamine function. This process occurs when our receptors become less responsive due to chronic overstimulation from technology and lifestyle habits. By reducing sensory input, we can recalibrate the brain's dopamine system, helping to break free from addictive behaviors and promoting mental clarity. Research from Nature Neuroscience and the Journal of Behavioral Addictions supports that practices, like self-isolation in combination with journaling, help restore the brain’s natural dopamine function. Additionally, studies from Harvard University and the Journal of Neural Transmission have demonstrated the impact of reduced stimulation on dopamine receptor balance and its role in attention and addiction.
Day 1 is simply time for yourself. You will be given a tour of the facility and guided to your cabin. A challenge awaits you. Be sure to journal your thoughts and feelings with the provided pen and notebook. After a long day of reflection, members will get together and discuss their experience.
