FAQ's
Q: Can I come to part of the retreat or do I have to attend the full retreat?
A: Feel free to come and go as you please! There is no discount for missing any days as the retreat is designed to be a self-healing healing program. Everyone will receive a packet that has every practice we are doing each day written out with instructions. This is so everyone can continue practicing at home what was learned during the retreat. With that being said, if you have to miss a day or so you will still have the packet with the instructions for all practices to do at home.
Q: Is it okay if I leave Sunday night?
A: Yes! The retreat ends Sunday night and as stated above you are free to go as you need to. Monday morning is meant to be a soft transition back into the real world. If you're able to stay until Monday feel free to sleep in and get breakfast before hitting the road! Checkout is 11AM Monday morning.
