No. This retreat is centered on restoration, and we invite you to listen to what your body and spirit need. With the exception of any essential welcome, orientation, or safety sessions, activities are optional.

You are welcome to rest, spend quiet time outdoors, journal, or step away from an activity. We ask only that you communicate with a retreat host when appropriate so we know you are safe and can support your experience.

The agenda may include yoga or movement, plant walks, time outdoors, and a hike. Activities will be facilitated at an accessible and welcoming pace whenever possible, and modifications or alternatives may be available.

Participation is always optional. Please share any mobility considerations, injuries, health conditions, or accommodation requests during registration so we can provide accurate information about specific activities and help you plan comfortably.

Several retreat spaces are accessible, but the property includes a mix of indoor facilities, historic buildings, trails, gardens, and natural terrain. Accessibility may vary by lodging assignment and activity location.

Please contact us before registering—or describe your needs in the registration form—so we can confirm accessible lodging, bathrooms, meeting spaces, routes, and activity options. We welcome the opportunity to discuss what accommodations would support your participation.

We can accommodate many medically necessary dietary restrictions when we receive complete information in advance. Please include all allergies and dietary needs on your registration form no later than two weeks before arrival.

Meals are prepared in a shared kitchen, so we cannot guarantee an environment entirely free from allergens or cross-contact. Guests with severe allergies or extensive dietary restrictions should contact us before registering to discuss their needs and determine whether the available meal service will be appropriate. You may also be encouraged to bring supplemental food.

Guests will receive nourishing, thoughtfully prepared meals throughout the retreat. Meals will emphasize seasonal ingredients, local foods, whole foods, and plant-forward options.

Coffee, tea, and water will also be available. A sample menu will be shared before the retreat.

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your space and is nonrefundable.

If paying for the retreat at the outlined times is an issue, please contact us as soon as possible to see how we may be able to accommodate.

An emergency contact number will be provided to registered guests.

During registration, guests will be asked to provide an emergency contact, relevant allergies, dietary needs, mobility or access requirements, and any health information necessary for safe participation.
