We tested for you the experience of a digital detox retreat at Le Monast\u00e8re des Augustines. Follow the journey of a stay without a cell phone, lived by an employee of Le Monast\u00e8re who wished to share her experience with you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Here\u2019s an invitation to dive into a digital detox so that you too may fully connect with your inner self during your next retreat at Le Monast\u00e8re des Augustines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

In three days, I will begin a digital detox retreat at Le Monast\u00e8re des Augustines, in Old Qu\u00e9bec. I know the place well \u2014 this will be my third retreat there \u2014 but it\u2019s the first time I will be doing one with the intention of keeping my cell phone turned off. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

The last time I tried to go 24 hours without my phone, I didn\u2019t quite succeed. Although it was turned off most of the time, I gave in to temptation a few times and turned it back on, if only to check the time, get some news from loved ones, or message a friend I was thinking of. This time, will I manage to stay true to my initial intention?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Since the retreat I\u2019m about to take part in will be a group experience guided by a set schedule (and since I don\u2019t own a watch!), I decided to bring an alarm clock with me to make sure I don\u2019t miss any of the sessions. I also told my boyfriend that if he needed to reach me, he could call directly at Le Monast\u00e8re\u2019s front desk. Because I like to plan things in advance, it was important for me to set everything up properly so I could fully let go and immerse myself in this digital detox experience. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Turning off my phone for an entire weekend makes me a little anxious. One of my main concerns: will I get bored? I already know I will bring things to occupy myself \u2014 a book, a writing journal, my colored pencils, and a mandala notebook. Reading, writing, and drawing are things I rarely make time for at home, yet they\u2019re ideal pastimes for me when I\u2019m in self-care mode. I can\u2019t wait! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

I can already picture myself taking a relaxing bath in my contemporary room \u2014 I will probably bring some bubble bath! I also plan to enjoy Le Monast\u00e8re\u2019s gardens or find a quiet corner to let my creativity flow. I know, too, that the silence of the Augustinian Sisters\u2019 choir always acts as a soothing refuge for me \u2014 a place where I can go deeper into reflection and truly settle down. Have I mentioned how excited I am? <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Out in nature, disconnecting from screens is probably easier, especially when there\u2019s no cell service \u2014 you simply have no choice! But in this case, my retreat will be an urban one, right in the heart of Old Qu\u00e9bec. Attempting a digital detox is therefore a conscious choice. I hope my determination will help me follow through with it. Fortunately, I know that Le Monast\u00e8re is a place that naturally encourages relaxation. There are no phones or televisions in the rooms, only one shared phone on the floor to reach the front desk if needed. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

I\u2019m already looking forward to soaking in the tranquility that awaits me at Le Monast\u00e8re. My goal: to savor every moment of calm this weekend has to offer, and to carry that peace with me afterward. Here\u2019s to a weekend just for me! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n
The day of my arrival<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n

Aaahhh\u2026! I let out a sigh of relief. Finally in my room! Finally settled into the comfort that will be mine for the next few days. I practically ran to get here \u2014 wrapping up work projects, packing my bags, making sure everything was in order at home before leaving\u2026 The stress from my hectic afternoon slowly fades away. This moment just for me, in this room just for me \u2014 I\u2019m already savoring it!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

My contemporary room is beautifully simple and already inviting me to relax. At another time, I might have been tempted to take a photo, but since I truly did leave my phone at home, I simply enjoy the present moment. I sit on the edge of my window, considered an artifact since it\u2019s part of the original historic building. My view of the square courtyard and the Price Building makes me smile. How special it is to live such a modern experience in a place whose roots date back to the 17th century!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

My room contrasts with the historic corridor, near the room where our retreat teachings will take place. The hallway is dotted with religious statues and ancient artifacts. The floor creaks softly beneath our feet. The wooden windows and ceiling lend the space a warm and comforting atmosphere. Our group is about to meet the person who will guide us throughout the weekend retreat. Inside the room, soothing music awaits us. Each person chooses their own spot. I take my seat too, feeling curious.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Right from the first session, we\u2019re encouraged to find a word \u2014 an intention \u2014 that will guide us throughout the weekend. It makes me reflect on what I came here to find. For me, the goal is clear: rest. Later that evening, during the mindfulness meditation and Qi Gong exercises, I take time to connect with my body and listen to what it has to tell me. It\u2019s only been a few hours since I arrived, and yet introspection has already begun!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Back in my room, I feel enveloped by the simplicity and beauty of the place. I realize how freeing it is to have left my phone at home. I\u2019m not tempted to instantly look up the answers to questions that pop into my head. I don\u2019t feel the need to check in with loved ones. I\u2019m not checking the weather. I\u2019m not distracted by notifications. I can simply be \u2014 living in the moment, gently carried by it. Wow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

My initial worries about attending a group retreat are gradually fading. I was nervous about sharing this experience with strangers, since I chose to come alone. But now, I think I made the right choice for me. Taking part in a guided retreat will surely bring depth to my digital detox experience. And being part of a group already gives me a sense of connection with others \u2014 while also feeling deeply connected to myself. The best of both worlds!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Aaahhh\u2026! Another sigh of relief. I slept so well! A dreamlike night followed by a peaceful, unhurried awakening. What a gentle, bright morning. Shy rays of sunlight filter through the cracks of my heritage window. Once again, I savor the moment! Waking up alone, in silence, feels incredibly good. Having the luxury of taking my time to get ready, thinking only of myself, is such a wonderful gift. Off to breakfast in silence, where I can continue to focus only on what\u2019s happening inside me\u2026 What contentment!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

I thought I might feel phone withdrawal over the weekend. So far, that hasn\u2019t been the case. I\u2019m instead enjoying my free moments between sessions to document my experience. It feels almost strange to write with a pencil on paper. Just the act of writing by hand slows me down. My thoughts seem to move faster than the pace I set with my pen. I realize how much writing is a conscious act for me, a way to truly process what I\u2019m experiencing beyond the external world. I reread previous pages in my journal and find little nuggets of wisdom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

The entertainment I normally find on my phone doesn\u2019t feel missed at all. It\u2019s so refreshing not to be constantly stimulated by a screen or social media content. I\u2019m genuinely happy I deliberately chose to stay away from my phone for the weekend. I can\u2019t even remember the last time I did this, and I\u2019m grateful to give myself this comforting pause!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

I wander here and there in the public spaces of Le Monast\u00e8re. I head to the Augustinian Sisters\u2019 choir, where I spend a lovely moment before the next session of the retreat begins. I feel fortunate to have access to this historically rich space, where I can take the time to breathe, move, and reflect. What a privilege! It\u2019s incredible to think that the Augustinian Sisters gave us this place to care for ourselves. Without them, without their legacy to the population, none of my wonderful experience would be possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

I think of my loved ones and remind myself to let go of guilt. Taking care of myself, resting \u2014 I do it also for them: to allow myself to come back more available and better equipped to face daily challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

As the weekend progresses, I notice the retreat participants\u2019 faces relaxing. During meals, people share their life experiences, sometimes lightheartedly, sometimes more deeply. Friendships begin to form. It feels wonderful to feel connected to this temporary community, to be surrounded for a weekend by people walking a similar path as I am.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Before going to bed, as I write again, I realize that my digital detox retreat is teaching me a lot. I notice that in daily life, having constant access to my phone can be quite heavy for me. It comes with pressure \u2014 the pressure of infinite possibilities. For some, this might feel positive, but for me, it makes it difficult to fully focus on what\u2019s truly important. My phone often interferes with my present moment. It\u2019s a good lesson, encouraging me to make firmer decisions about my screen use at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

My phone often interferes with my present moment. It\u2019s a good lesson, encouraging me to make firmer decisions about my screen use at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

I reflect on a few possible steps. For example, turning off my phone at night, silencing notifications more often, or choosing alternatives to meet the needs my phone usually fulfills: alarm clock, watch, outdoor thermometer, turntable, cookbooks, etc. It may seem old-fashioned to go back to these objects, but why not?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

It\u2019s almost time for bed. I think back on the beautiful moments of my day: the autumn colors in the Augustinian Sisters\u2019 garden during a meditative walk, my dinner in good company, the little plops of bubbles in my bath\u2026 I\u2019m proud of myself. Proud to have given myself permission to experience this digital detox retreat just as I wanted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n
The day of departure<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

I didn\u2019t sleep quite as well as the night before. Perhaps my sleep was lighter after all the relaxation I experienced yesterday\u2026 But I still feel calm this morning. My goal of rest has clearly been achieved!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

At breakfast in silence, a burst of laughter erupts at the other end of the room. I can\u2019t help but smile too. I notice my heart feels lighter and happier than when I arrived. As I eat, a phrase comes to mind: \u201cPrepared with care, enjoyed with love.\u201d I savor every bite of my breakfast just as I have cherished every moment of my stay at Le Monast\u00e8re. I am truly grateful to have had this experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Soon, it will be time to pack up and leave. I wish I didn\u2019t have to say goodbye to my room, but all good things must come to an end. Although I’m already a little bit nostalgic, I feel ready to return home. My inner batteries are fully recharged!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

I\u2019m glad I chose to take these 48 hours for a digital detox. And although I know the little cloud I\u2019m floating on right now won\u2019t last forever, I can use it as an anchor \u2014 a gentle reminder of the importance of taking time for myself and to try managing better my screen use in everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

And now\u2026 when will my next digital detox retreat be? <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
