Frequently asked questions about retreats
Question: Do I have to be an advanced practitioner to go on a retreat?
Answer: Not at all. Each year there are a wide range of students, from complete beginners (some who have never even done one class before!) to teachers. The practices are accommodating for all levels so that each person can learn and deepen their knowledge.
Question: Are share rooms single sex or co-ed?
Answer: They are single sex, unless otherwise specified or requested (i.e. you are a couple, or friends sharing)
Question: Is it possible to attend for part of the retreat?
Answer: We do not encourage people to attend for partial days, but of course understand if someone needs to leave a day early for personal or work related reasons.
Question: What is the food like?
Answer: The food is always delicious, and we work to honour common dietary requirements and food allergies.
Question: Is there coffee, tea, desserts, and wine?
Answer: Yes, if you want! Coffee and tea will be available throughout the mornings and afternoons, as well as evening if people wish. Desserts are also offered.
Question: Are there toiletries available?
Answer: Bedding, sheets and towels are provided, but please bring your own toiletries.
Question: Is there wifi available?
Answer: Depends on the retreat. For silent retreats, wifi is not available. It is recommend that people keep their online time minimised so as to gain the most rest and quiet while on retreat.
