Personal & Self-Care

Things to Know

Practical reminders to help you settle in.

Travel

Plan to arrive by 4pm on Thursday and depart after the closing ceremony on Sunday morning. We'll connect you with other participants for carpools via a private group chat.

Disconnect

We encourage a phone-free experience during sessions. An emergency contact number will be provided for your loved ones. Let people know you'll be unplugging.

Meals

All meals and snacks are included. If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know in advance — our chef accommodates vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free needs.

Rest

The retreat is emotionally and physically rich. Come well-rested if you can, and give yourself grace to move at your own pace throughout the weekend.

Pace Yourself

You'll never be forced to share or participate beyond your comfort. Parallel processing means healing happens even when you're just listening. Trust the process.

After the Retreat

Integration takes time. Consider scheduling time with your therapist the week after, and be gentle with yourself as you transition back to daily life.
