Step Four: Workshop Prep
The following are ways for you to best prepare for your upcoming retreat. The more ready your mind and emotions, the more healing.
  • HEAL Documentary (available on Netflix here) - Initially, we were planning to show this documentary on the Bodie Room big screen Friday night after dinner but based on last year's requests of 1) more yoga and 2) more freetime, we decided to give you more scheduled free time each day (hence nothing planned after dinner), as well as more yoga. Besides, the workshop times are so precious when you can do a little bit of homework and watch it on Netflix instead. PLEASE, please, please watch this before the retreat. I cannot convey enough what a leg-up it will provide you in the healing work we'll be doing. It introduces so many things on a visual platform that enables us to dive deeper during the small window we have together. 
  • Birth data - for you and the birthdate of another. The most popular workshop at our retreats is the astrology workshop. Even those who aren't sure they believe astrology to be real always tell us afterwards how accurate or helpful the workshop is for them to understand themSELVES or the people we describe. In order to read for you in detail, we need your birth DAY, TIME and LOCATION, which is info you provide on the retreat questionnaire. We will also have time to offer an overview of another person in your life whom you'd like to better understand; whether that be your child, partner in business or love, sibling, etc. We only need their birthdate; whereas, it is ideal that you have all of the birth data listed above, if possible.
  • "Becoming YOU" Workshop Planning - What do you need to let go of or release that no longer serves you? What do you wish to bring in instead? What physical, emotional, spiritual, mental and environmental (people and places) aspects of your life do you want to see different than the present reality? What injury have been you facing? What diagnoses do you want to release? What relationship do you want to conclude or develop? What habits do you want to build? What does becoming YOU, mean?
