Awaken Retreat - What to Bring

April 20, 2009

Posted in: Uncategorized

I got the low down from the monks today and here is what you need to bring if you are coming this weekend to the retreat:

Sleeping Arrangements:
1.  Your own bedding (sheets, pillow, blankets etc.)
2. Your own towel
3. If you have a blow up bed please plan to bring it.
* The house has 11 beds so some of us will need to sleep on blow up beds. If you have one please respond and let us know so we can ensure we have enough “extra” beds.

Bathrooms:
There are plenty of bathrooms in the house so no need to worry Kara…you can take your shower:)
We will have to share, but I think there are around 6-7 bathrooms total.

Food
Remember, the cost of food is included in the 35.00 fee you are paying for the weekend, so no need to worry about bringing any kind of food/drink. It is taken care of! On that note, a big thanks to Jeannie who is preparing all of our food for us!

Other Essentials:
Journals: Please plan to bring a journal and writing utinsils with you. A booklet will be included for you, but I would encourage you to bring your own journal as well.
Board Games: If you have a fovorite board game, please bring it. We will have some extra time in the evening to hang out and play games for those who want to.

Directions:
Directions will be posted later in the week. Keep in mind that this place is fairly remote, so if you plan to come in after dark be prepared to be driving down some winding dirt roads! If you can leave in time to arrive before sunset I would encourage doing so. Rest assured though, the directions are really detailed, so if you do need to arrive late you will find it:).

If I think of anything else I will post it this week. Any questions feel free to reply. I will check the posts daily. You can also call or email me with any questions.

Later,

Daran
