The VITAL U Week-End INTENSIVES are VERY intense - as we fill the agenda with a lot of energetic, transformational activity.

It is recommended that you follow these guidelines for maximum benefit:

• Get good rest the night before the first day

• Eat your dinner Friday evening before arriving – we will provide a snack during the preliminary ceremony.

• Dress in loose fitting, comfortable clothing

• Dress in layers – weather permitting, we will be outdoors for part of the retreat

• No children or pets, let loved ones/associates know that you will check in

• All cell phones OFF except during personal breaks, NO alcohol/drugs, NO smoking

• Please don’t plan anything physically or emotionally demanding for Sunday evening after the retreat – try to plan a nice relaxing evening at home or some gentle social event if anything. You may not feel like doing ANYTHING but taking a nice bath and going to bed early. You may want to get some bulk sea salt for that bath.

MEALS - All meals are provided Saturday and Sunday through lunch on Sunday with a Sunday mid-afternoon snack. Water and tea are provided (if you have food allergies, let me know ASAP – the meals are an important part of the reprogramming and will NOT include beef, pork, dairy, pasta, white breads or foods containing preservatives or commercial sugars.

RETREATS VS WEEKEND INTENSIVES
Weekend intensives are very similar to a full Retreat  - these are differences
