What to Expect:
With every retreat you are welcome to a chat with your guide Carrie, before and after you begin, simply to give you a safe space to release any worries or concerns and just have someone to talk to. You have complete choice and autonomy and can choose to omit these chats as well as any of the other activities included. You will receive an email with a link to your personal chat when you purchase the retreat. You will also receive a form to fill out welcoming your ideas and what you are expecting and needing from this retreat, plus any other questions or comments that come to mind. Read below for an outline of your day of solitude.
