FAQs

  • Most of our retreats are for all levels of learning and we include modifications for multiple levels in our classes. Sometimes we will lead a retreat with classes geared towards a more challenging level, and that will be clear in the description. All our retreats have all the activities optional. International retreats often have a partner accompanying someone who wants to take classes. We stay in interesting places with other on-site activities to enjoy if a class is not for you at the moment.

  • This means we have done all the planning and reservations and all the meals, tours, retreat transportation, and activities are included in your price. Our international retreats include “inclusions/exclusions” lists for clarity. Traveling to and from the retreat destinations are your responsibility. Tips and alcoholic beverages are not included.

  • We include this information for each retreat, as it varies between domestic and international retreats as well as our retreat destination. We will provide you with a carefully researched preparation and packing guide before your retreat.

  • You do need a passport for all international retreats. Be sure to check your passport expiration. If yours has expired or is close to expiration, you may want to expedite processing as there are long wait times at the moment.

  • Travel visas depend upon the destination. This is something that we research and include on our retreat details pages for each retreat.

  • We are requiring proof of Covid vaccinations for participation in all of our retreats. If our destination requires proof as well we will let you know, so that you pack your vaccination card with your passport. For most other international retreats there are the “standard” list of vaccinations that your primary care physician will recommend. We encourage to follow your own doctor’s advice on those.

  • Our Terms and Waiver explains cancellation details. In the post-covid travel world, Travel Insurance is for your own protection and is required for all our international retreats. Purchase Cancel For Any Reason travel insurance within 2 weeks of your registration and you investment will be covered in most situations. Be sure to read the fine print of your policy.

  • There are many studies showing that airplane travel has resulted in very few Covid transmissions. This is due to the exceptional air filtering systems and the airline requirement to wear masks. With the current US requirement for all returning passengers to show proof of vaccination and proof of negative test, the safety levels are even higher.

  • Our retreats are open to all, unless we state a specific theme. Our international retreats especially always have couples along. We pace our retreats to have plenty of time for many interests, not just our classes. And we always have a strong focus on the culture and natural beauty of our destination.
