| To keep the sanctuary free from distractions while people attend and have their sacred time, no others visitors are welcome without previous arrangement. We take this very seriously. Please do not share the location of the retreat with anyone, who could not understand this and just turn up. For group retreats, please don't share anything about who is attending retreats or their personal experiences. We want everyone to come along and experience the same confidentiality, they experience in their sessions with Avril. Please make sure you read this disclaimer about entering the bush and the risks it can pose to your health. In Australia we do have creatures that can harm you. Thankfully the crocs, king brown snakes and box jelly fish are not present this far down the coast, but you should be mindful of spiders, snakes, ticks and other risks you are exposing yourself to by entering natural land. We cannot accept liability for these unforeseen circumstances, but will always do our best to help you avoid troubles of this kind. Knowing any medical conditions, food sensitivities or allergies you have, will also help us to take care of your needs in everyway we are able to. Please let us know once you have booked your accommodation and confirmed your travel arrangements. Once all students have done this, no later than a month before the start date, Avril will email all students a daily intinerary and share other vital information. Please ensure all pre-work, class work and suggestions from Avril are complete before you arrive and ensure you do the special meditation Avril will send you, the morning before you come to the land for the first time. Whilst there is wifi and mobile reception available on the mountain, we highly recommend that all devices remain on silent or off for your retreat time. There is wifi and mobile reception if you absolutely need to be available during the breaks or check in. Otherwise, may we suggest you unplug and see what life was like prior to device mania! If you're attending a group retreat and you'd like any extra sessions one on one with Avril face to face, an offering that is only given during retreats, please let us know. This time is charged at $500AUD an hour and will need to be carefully scheduled at the most appropriate time during the retreat. Finally, before you come, please let go of everything you think you know. Be open to learning new things and experiencing new states of being. Let yourself get the most out of your experience. Especially for group retreats, group time at the sanctuary is an opportunity to meet other sacred souls on the journey. Each journey and person is unique and there is no competition, so just be uniquely you, wherever you are and celebrate this version of yourself you are becoming. We love exactly who you are, or you wouldn't be invited :) |
