What clothing should I bring to the retreat?

Each event has different requirements. We will send you the details once you book your retreat with us.

I don't know anyone in the retreat, is that ok?

It is very common for people to attend retreats without knowing any other participants, and usually the desire to meet new people is one of the top hopes mentioned by participants (including those who came with friends). Sometimes lifelong friendships are formed on retreat, sometimes the community disperses after the retreat, and sometimes nearly the entire group stays in touch. But just about always there is a kind of community magic that brings retreatants together for the duration of the experience, forged from people who were previously strangers.

Do you offer airlines tickets?

We prefer that everyone book his airline ticket while we can afford support booking a flight after you register in the retreat.

Who can join the retreat?

We welcome any conscious adult (Regardless of race, color, or gender) who is in his journey of self-discovery, development, or awakening.

Is smoking permitted at the retreat?

Smoking is not allowed during any group activities or at any medium of transportation. Smoking is not allowed in a group setup.

Will Soul Star Retreats accommodate my dietary habits?

Soul Star Retreats does its best to meet the needs of everybody’s dietary habits. Vegan and Vegetarian food, Gluten-free and lactose-free alternatives are provided at every meal to those who have requested them.  If there are further dietary restrictions you would like us to be aware of, feel free to e-mail us before the retreat.
