What if my work or family need to get in touch with me?
We ask that you arrange things so that you can fully focus on the retreat during these 7 days (as if you were on a silent meditation retreat). Plan not to make or receive calls, messages or emails. Exceptions can be made (eg. to be in touch with your children as needed). In an emergency, you can be reached through a number which will be provided.
The intention of this is so you can be fully present throughout, away from the usual demands and distractions of daily life, which many find to be a rare and invaluable part of the retreat.
