Steps to Join

Step 1: Complete the retreat application form. Once we receive your application, you’ll get an email with instructions on how to schedule a screening call with our Co-Founder and Lead Facilitator, Jayne Gumpel, LCSW. This call will be held over Zoom.

Step 2: If both you and our team feel the retreat is a good fit, we’ll ask you to make a 50% deposit of the retreat fee (note: housing costs are not included in this fee).

Step 3: After you’ve paid the deposit to secure your spot, you’ll receive a welcome email with important next steps, including:

  • Scheduling a medical screening appointment,
  • Booking housing at Menla Retreat Center,
  • Selecting a Pre-Retreat Preparation Group Video Call with other participants.

You’ll also receive details for the RetreatPortal, where you can find all this information and more to help you prepare for the retreat.

Refund Policy

*All deposits are non refundable unless you cancel 60 days prior to the retreat. There will be a $500 fee deducted from the deposit if you cancel at any time after the deposit is paid. Please be sure you intend to join this retreat.

Once the balance is paid (due 45 days prior to the retreat) the fees are non refundable and a partial credit can be assessed to a future retreat.

We appreciate your understanding. Many many steps go into creating this experience for you.
