A sample itinerary is provided to all interested in the retreat. A final itinerary is confirmed closer to the date of the retreat and can be changed due to unforeseen circumstances and weather. Typically, there is one excursion, yoga class and/or meditation, an activity, and free time offered daily. We do believe downtime is important and will not keep you on the go for long periods of time.

A suggested list of items to bring will be provided once registration is completed.

No, the agenda provides optional activities. Yoga, meditation, excursions, hiking, and workshops are all available to you and included in the cost of the retreat but are not mandatory! This retreat is for you. Choose your own adventure. Only participate in the activities that suit you.

The answer to any question starting with “do I have to” is always NO! We always encourage guests to choose their own adventure because we want them to look at the retreat schedule as suggestions of activities that they can participate in. You know yourself better than anyone else, so if you need rest, please take a nap. If the thought of doing yoga gives you crippling anxiety or you’d rather sleep in than salute the sun, then please skip it. We do teach all levels classes which means that all classes are beginner friendly. We are always available to help answer questions in real time. I truly take it as a compliment if someone skips yoga or any other workshop or excursion because they are actually honoring what they need and not participating out of some weird guilt that they shouldn’t have.

Hiking excursions are dependent on retreats. We always discuss in detail what to expect for time, difficulty level, etc. so that you can decide if you want to participate. Most hikes are easy or moderate and take between 2-4 hours.

We are committed to making each guest feel comfortable and safe. Please email me any thoughts or concerns. If you prefer to discuss this in detail, please email me to set up time to talk one-on-one.

This is something we handle with ease. We have section in our pre-retreat questionnaire asking you to share these details with us and then I privately share them with the chef so she can plan to accommodate. We haven’t hosted a retreat where we haven’t had some allergies or preferences, and it is never an issue. Having a private chef makes this a non-issue. I promise we can ensure that your needs will be met.

Normally meals are plant-based and always in accordance with each participant's dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, etc.). On the night that poultry is served, those who don't eat meat will be served vegan/vegetarian. The same goes for a fish night. You will be asked your dietary needs in a questionnaire prior to the retreat to better understand the overall group.

Uber works well, or taxi service. You can also hire a bike. Information will be available through the retreat once you arrive.

You are welcome to explore available accommodations near the retreat location and recommendations can be provided. Another group is coming in right after our group leaves and the staff needs time to clean the rooms and retreat facilities, so we are unable to stay longer than our scheduled time.
