A DAY AT THE RETREAT
The deliberate absence
of activity is part of
the healing process.
After ceremony, we meet for brunch at 11. An integration circle follows — tea, cocoa, conversation. The rest of the day is yours: yoga, sleep, nature, a massage, a walk, the ocean. We meet again at 7pm.

If you prefer ground transport, fly to Liberia and plan for a 2.5-hour drive. We organize transport to and from either airport. Plan to arrive between 3 and 5pm. The retreat begins with dinner at 7pm. Check-out is at 11am.
WHAT TO BRING
A flashlight. A refillable water bottle. Comfortable clothes for ceremony and rest. Organic body care products and organic mosquito repellent. Please arrive free of strong artificial fragrances.
BEFORE YOU JOIN
Preparation
Your body will be well prepared by abstaining from certain foods, drugs, and depleting activities. We recommend avoiding pork, refined sugars, recreational drugs, alcohol, allopathic medication, and sex for eight days before the retreat. Eating and living as organically as possible, exercising your body, and engaging in activities that serve you will positively affect your experience. Be mindful, and do not waste your energy in the time close to the retreat. You want to arrive as relaxed and strong as possible.
More often than not, the process starts with your commitment. Your dreams may change as soon as you sign up for an experience like this, and your issues can surface. If you need to talk to us or have any vital questions, we're here.
