Depending on availability, you can stay at the retreat center before or after. If possible, we recommend coming to the destination (Jamaica or the Netherlands) early and staying a few days after so that it is an easy, stress free, transition in and out of the retreat. If the retreat center is not available, we can make recommendations for places nearby to extend your trip. For your safety and an optimal experience, please plan to stay for the entire retreat – arriving on time and staying through departure. Our retreat agenda includes opening and closing circles, and it will be most beneficial for all participants to be present for both circles.
