Holistic Wellness Retreats at Sumac centre

---

During our self-development retreat, men and women are separated into sleeping and eating quarters to facilitate progress. It is a silent retreat, and students are not allowed to make contact with each other, journal, or use cell phones. Students may speak with the staff if they have any questions or issues. 

On Saturday evening, students may attend a discourse where they have the opportunity to ask instructors questions about their practice. 

Valuable personal belongings, such as wallets and cell phones, will be stored in a safe and returned to the students at the end of the retreat. 

Please refer to the for more details.

You will be served seasonal vegetarian meals made with local ingredients. We can accommodate any dietary restrictions and provide coffee, tea, and water.

Please refer to the itinerary for more details.

To make transportation easier for you, we are compiling a list of people who can offer rides based on their location availability. If you register and request transportation, we will make every effort to pair you up with someone who can assist you. Please understand that there is no guarantee of availability, as it all depends on the availability of the drivers on our list.

Depending on the time of year, some classes may be held outdoors, so be sure to pack a jacket, boots, hats, and other necessary items. Remember to bring rain gear in case of wet weather.
