Rest, Pleasure & The Art of Living Well (Happy World Philosophy Day)

"It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it." — Seneca

World Philosophy Day was this week—a perfect time to ask the bigger questions. Like: What does it actually mean to live well? What do we owe ourselves, not just others? And why have we accepted a world where joy is a luxury, and exhaustion is a badge of honour?

This week, we’re getting philosophical about rest and pleasure—and how they’re not just practices, but philosophies of life.

Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Burnout

Across cultures, traditions, and centuries, thinkers have come back to the same truths:

• The good life is not the busy life.

• We are not machines.

• Pleasure is a portal to presence.

Yet in modern wellness, rest and pleasure are often sold as expensive, exclusive, or optional.

At REESET, we reject that. Rest and pleasure are your birthright.

A New Philosophy of Wellness

Wellness isn’t about green smoothies and 6am alarms (unless that’s your thing). It’s about creating a life that aligns with your values—and honours your body, your culture, your joy.

On our wellness retreats in Mallorca, and across our yoga retreats in Spain, we return to a slower, wiser way of being:

🌞 Spacious days shaped by breath, not schedules.
🌿 Deep connection over performance.
🌀 Movement that feels like remembering—not striving.
💫 Time to reflect, laugh, nap, cry, swim, be.

This isn’t just a holiday—it’s a reorientation.

Whether you're seeking a wellness holiday in Mallorca or exploring yoga venue hire in Spain, our retreats offer something deeper: a chance to practise the philosophy of rest. Of pleasure. Of presence.

So today, ask yourself: What does a well-lived life look like to you? And what would it take to actually live it?
