It’s that time of year again: another cycle around the sun, another chance to celebrate Bernie and Sky and each other, Dance and sing our prayers, soak in the hot pools, eat delicious meals, and bask in the joy of being with community. We would be so honored and delighted to have you join us.
Registration is now open. See link below.
Retreat cost: Through Feb 10, the early bird rate is $80-$150/person, as you can afford.
Starting Feb 11: The retreat rate increases to $120/person minimum.
Joyful Journey is kindly holding lodging for us until FEB 12 – at which point we need to let them release the unreserved rooms to the public. So, both your registration fee and room deposit MUST be PAID paid by FEB 12th to hold your lodging. If retreat fees aren’t paid by then, any lodging you have reserved will be released to the waiting list.
Be sure to tell them you are with the Dances of Universal Peace Group or they won’t let you book. Plus you will get a discount on your room.
If you’ve been to this retreat before, you know that for the past couple of years we have announced that we’re no longer allowing folks to reserve rooms a year in advance, and appreciate those of you who heard and heeded that boundary. Because the “groups’ staff was changing as we were having the retreat last year, there was some misunderstanding with the staff there who let a few people book before registration opened. Oops! C’est la vie! Luckily, all those folks are sharing their rooms with others which is good news for everyone!
Another little secret that you may or may not know is that there are distinct advantages to reserving the Yurts:
A kitchen and refrigerator for your use!
More of them have twin beds so that everyone can have their own bed!
No loudly shutting doors and conversations through the walls as in the lodge.
They’re generally quieter and closer to nature 💜 Kinda like “Glamping”
