I often find myself slipping into reflective mode when I return from the island, and this time is no different. We've just wrapped up our third Island Wellness Retreat on the stunning Cempedak private island, where hornbills and butterflies captivate with their natural elegance and breathtaking presence.

As I transitioned back to city life after hosting the second Island Wellness Retreat, I felt the calm I had nurtured begin to fade. While juggling pressing tasks, unfinished chores, and a packed schedule, my thoughts often drifted back to Cempedak Island. The contrast was undeniable. Was this a reflection of the imbalance in our daily lives, or simply the nature of contemporary living that we all experience?
