A new way to retreat
Why the Bennu bird?
We chose the Bennu bird to represent our ethos, a symbol in ancient Egyptian mythology, embodies themes of eternal renewal and cyclical regeneration. It represents the soul of the sun god Ra and is associated with daily death and rebirth, mirroring the natural cycles of the sun and the Nile's flooding.
The symbolism of the Bennu bird, with its emphasis on renewal and cyclical regeneration, offers insights into personal wellbeing. By recognising life's natural cycles and embracing the concept of renewal, individuals can find solace in knowing that challenges are temporary and opportunities for growth abound. This perspective encourages resilience in the face of adversity and promotes a sense of optimism and hope. Additionally, the Bennu bird's association with divine guidance underscores the importance of seeking support and wisdom during difficult times, fostering emotional strength and stability.
