To help keep the retreat affordable and rooted in a spirit of community, we invite all participants to take part in light kitchen and farm tasks. This shared effort not only supports the retreat’s smooth running but also creates a sense of connection and collaboration.
Evenings are a highlight, with shared dinners prepared together in the communal kitchen. We’ll coordinate contributions via email in the two weeks leading up to the retreat– think favourite dishes, special ingredients, or even a bottle of wine to share!
This spirit of generosity, participation, and shared experience is a big part of what makes the retreat so special.
