Each day will include contemplative practices including yoga, movement, art, singing and song, music, and ritual. There will be time for rest, relaxation, and massage, and 2 delicious meals a day will be served.

Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip.
We have partnered with Trawick International (available for U.S. Residents only). Read more about their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
