What you need to know

Disconnect to Recconect

We ask that you leave your cellphones and watches in your car so you can be fully present. An emergency contact number will be available if needed

Come with an open heart

Bring an expectant heart, a sense of humour, and a willingness to trust the process and embrace the experience together.
