WHaT TO BRING: PACKING +
Bag of Stuff

Items you may wish to pack beneficial for our environment/activities include:

  • Comfortable clothing for day and evening - we are at a rustic location, we will be outside

  • Layers/Jacket - weather depending, we will have outside activities, including walks and evening fire pit

  • Yoga gear, including mat (at your option)

  • Water bottle for refilling

  • Bug spray

As part of our introduction to each other and for focus throughout the retreat, we would like you to bring ONE separate bag containing 3 items. Bring this to the retreat for our kickoff. Ideas for the three items include:

  • Something that holds a fond memory for you (in general)

  • Something that represents a professional accomplishment

  • Something that is motivational for you

  • Something that is comforting to you

  • Something that reflects a hobby/interest

  • Something else that is exciting to you

  • Something to wear that makes you feel strong (which you may wish to wear during the weekend!)
