Food
Vegetarian meals with vegan options are included. All made in-house with ingredients listed. Mostly buffet style. When dairy or gluten is offered, dairy-free and gluten-free options are also offered.
Location
Yogaville is located on 600 acres in Buckingham, VA, southwest of Charlottesville. It is a 5+ hour drive from Huntington, WV.
What do I need to supply or bring?
Modest clothing is required (no bare shoulders, no shorts). Capri pants and longer pants are preferred. On Saturday evening they are a little dressier for Satsang (dresses, slacks). Some will wear white on Saturday evening, not required.
No alcohol or recreational drugs, even if microdosing, are allowed on campus. No meat products, including fish or eggs are permitted.
Cancellation Policy
Whether you are paying in full or in installments, your reservation is confirmed when I have received your $150 deposit. Final payment is required by February 12, 2027. The deposit is non-refundable. There are no refunds after February 12, 2027.
Insurance and Cancellations
I recommend purchasing travel insurance for your own peace of mind. In the unlikely event that our retreat is impacted by forces beyond our control and the retreat is cancelled, your fees and payments may be retained, and our gathering rescheduled. This is the best option due to the significant amount of planning and investment of both the facilitator and the venue.
Life happens! Please reach out, and we'll do our best to figure it out together.
