Bringing a friend to the retreat can enhance your experience by sharing this transformational journey with someone close to you. Below are answers to common questions about bringing a friend. 1. Can I bring a friend to the retreat? Absolutely! We encourage participants to invite friends, partners, or family members to share in this incredible experience. There are accommodation options specifically designed for sharing, such as private queen rooms or double-bed rooms. 2. Is there a discount if I bring a friend? Yes! Friends sharing the same room or bed can split the cost of accommodations by adding $395 to the base price for the second person. This is a great way to save while enjoying the retreat together. 3. How do we register as a pair? During registration, select an accommodation option that allows for sharing (e.g., Queen Room or Double Bed Room). Choose the “Add a Second Person” option and enter your friend’s details (name, email, dietary preferences). The total cost, including the add-on price, will be reflected at checkout. 4. Can my friend and I choose separate payment plans? Unfortunately, payment plans are tied to the primary booking. If you select a payment plan, the full amount (including the additional $395 for the second person) will be divided into the scheduled payments. You and your friend will need to coordinate payment between yourselves. 5. What if my friend can’t make it after registering? If your friend cannot attend, you have a few options: Replace them with another person (up to 7 days before the retreat). Opt to attend the retreat alone and retain the room for private use. Refunds for the second person follow the general cancellation policy: Full refund (minus a $50 fee) if canceled 30+ days before the event. 50% refund if canceled 15–29 days before the event. Non-refundable if canceled within 14 days of the retreat. 6. Are there specific activities designed for friends or pairs? While all activities are open to everyone, the retreat provides a supportive environment perfect for friends to connect. Here’s how you can enjoy the retreat together: Participate in partner yoga or group exercises. Share reflections during journaling or workshops. Experience the drumming circle and sound baths side by side. 7. Can my friend and I choose different accommodations? Each ticket is tied to a specific room or accommodation type. If you and your friend prefer separate sleeping arrangements, you will need to register individually for your chosen accommodations. 8. Are shared rooms limited to friends? No! Shared accommodations like bunk rooms or double-bed rooms are open to all participants. If you’re bringing a friend, you’ll have the option to ensure you’re paired together in shared spaces. 9. What happens if I want to bring more than one friend? Each attendee is allowed to bring one friend to share their accommodations. If you and your friend prefer separate rooms, you will need to register individually under separate accommodations. If you have more than one person interested in attending, they will need to register as individual participants 10. Who do I contact for help with registering my friend?
