• All indoor retreat spaces are on the main level; there are no stairs to navigate.

• Please email me with any questions, concerns, or specific accommodations that would support you.

• We'll have a vegetarian lunch, often with vegan and gluten-free options (I'll ask you about any food sensitivities & allergies in advance).
•  You're also more than welcome to bring your own lunch and/or snacks -- whatever makes you most comfortable!

• You might like to have these few essentials: a notebook/journal, a reusable water bottle, comfy clothes. You're also welcome to bring anything that would be nourishing during solo times!
• A couple yoga mats and props will be in the meditation/quiet room for communal use. You're welcome to bring your own props (especially if you want to settle in for a restorative posture).

• When you register, you're invited to choose the Pay-What-You-Can / sliding scale option that aligns with your situation and access to resources.
• If you are financially secure, paying the full cost ($150) is likely an appropriate exchange of energies. You are supporting the sustainability of future programming, including offering a sliding scale options for those with different current and historical economic realities.

• I recognize that life with chronic illness is inherently unpredictable. I want you to feel empowered and supported in making the right choice for you. If you aren't able to attend the retreat, I am happy to offer you a 1-to-1 session with me as an alternative, covered by your retreat registration.
