Attendees

Open to any women who are ready to be the best version of themselves and master conscious connections. This is open to all ages over 18. 

Expectations

While this is being held in a beautiful part of the Fleurieu Peninsula and there will be time to enjoy mother nature, this is a serious self-development retreat and so we do expect there will be times you will be triggered. This is part of the growth process to identify your triggers, heal, reprogram, clear and change your way of being to be in alignment with that which you desire and to be the best version of yourself.

Food and Drinks

Due to the incredibly large range of food requirements with people these days, we have opted not to include catering. This is to keep the cost low so you are not paying for the requirements of others. It is typically necessary to supply food such as: vegan, vegetarian, paleo, gluten free, pescatarian, dairy free, lactose free, FODMAP, allergies, Ketogenic, preservative free, organic free, sugar free. This supply list also ends up with a huge amount of food wastage. We encourage you to bring your own food or there are plenty of great restaurants, cafes and coffee shops in the local town about a 3 minute drive. We recommend having planned your breakfast, snacks and possibly lunch ready in your cabin to prevent rushing into the town. Dinner is a perfect time to explore the local cafes and restaurants. Morning and Afternoon tea breaks are only 15 minutes and tea and coffee will be provided in the camp kitchen, the lunch break is for 1 hour. 

Accommodation

We have provided the option to share or have your own cabin. Sharing is subject to other attendees wishing to also share. Please see the accommodation descriptions above.  If you are planning on sharing, please note that the cabins have one master bedroom and a second room with bunk beds. Who gets the master bedroom or bunk beds is up to those in each cabin to decide. If you specify a share room and don't nominate a room mate, we will pair you with another attendee subject to someone requesting the same

What to bring and wear

A positive and open mindset to achieve the greatest self-development growth

Food and beverages as stated above

A cushion or pillow to sit on during circle work. As the floor is concrete, we will provide some rugs however if you have a small rug or blanket to bring, that would be most welcome.

Comfortable clothing including layers or a jacket. The workshop area is open on one side to the sand dunes which can allow the heat or cool in (and great air flow) however we will have a raging open fire going throughout the workshops. 

Please do not wear any perfume, oils or scents as some attending may be sensitive to strong scent.

Security

While Beachside Holiday Park is secluded and has park management who only allow access to those staying at the park, we do encourage you to not keep any valuables in your cabin when not in attendance. Conscious Connections Retreat is not responsible for any lost, stolen or missing items.
