Prepare and pack well in advance of your retreat: Packing Considerations


To help your body settle more gently into the darkness, you may wish to gradually reduce your daily caffeine intake before you arrive. If it feels supportive, try avoiding caffeine for 1 to 3 days before your retreat. It may also help to reduce or avoid artificial preservatives and refined sugar during that time. If any of these changes feel too strenuous, please listen to your body and follow what feels most nourishing for your system.
All meals provided during your retreat will be prepared with whole ingredients and held with care in support of your retreat intention(s).


Before leaving home, you may wish to prepare a quiet and nourishing space for your return, such as an altar, an outdoor place, or another setting where you can sit in stillness without needing to tend to paperwork, chores, or other responsibilities. If possible, try to keep the days after your retreat spacious, and avoid scheduling events, meetings, or trainings that would place you around groups of people for 1 to 2 weeks.
If you need to change your reservation dates, if anything feels unclear, or if any concerns arise, please reach out as soon as you can. We are here to support you.
