• A journal or notebook – Capture your reflections, insights, and goals throughout your wellness journey.
• Sturdy footwear – Bring comfortable shoes for nature walks, hikes, or exploring the retreat surroundings.
• Personal wellness essentials – Don’t forget items like sunscreen, a hat, and any personal wellness tools (e.g., a yoga mat if preferred).

Embracing the retreat experience
