WEEKEND RETREAT
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.
