• These are intimate retreats and include meals therefore we need a confirmed list of attendees. That means that we cannot accommodate refunds after the cancellation date. However, if something comes up and you cannot attend, you are welcome to find someone to fill your spot; if we have a waitlist, we can fill your spot on a first-come first-serve basis. And if that works out, then great. However, we cannot guarantee that it will work out that way. Q: Do I have to participate in ALL of the retreat activities? • While we have created all activities intentionally and designed the itinerary systematically to be most beneficial for the day, this choice is up to you. We encourage you to honor your mind, body, and spirit throughout our time together. Q: Is the retreat for men or women? • It is about openness, intelligence, kindness, honesty and fun. We find that these qualities are not gender specific. So if you think you have these qualities, we encourage you to attend.
