Aren't retreats really strict with no alcohol or mobile phones allowed?

We want to encourage you to make small changes to help you live healthier and be happier. We are not there as parental control; we just encourage consciousness. Our retreat is about switching off and honoring your mind and body, giving you space to connect with yourself. If you want a glass of wine or a beer with dinner, we won't stop you. Likewise, we urge you to resist the temptation to check your Facebook and emails daily, but we don't enforce it.
