Meals are generally vegetarian and whenever possible designed to accommodate the needs of all those at any given retreat - so that everyone can eat everything served. Please list your requirements on the registration form. The retreat center does its best to accommodate dietary requests made at least one week in advance of the retreat start date. What should I do if I have dietary restrictions? The most important thing is to do what you feel will best serve and nurture this sacred time away. Even just being with us to breathe can bring more benefit than you might imagine! However, if you would rather opt out of yoga sessions, you can take that time for personal reflection, walking in the forest, or resting. Yoga sessions are optional, but encouraged. You are welcome to stay and enjoy the retreat center and its grounds on your own during the afternoon, if you would like!
