What Do I Need to Bring to the Retreats?

What Do I Need to Bring to the Retreats?

WHAT TO PACK FOR AN IN-PERSON RETREAT


  • Comfy clothes - if you like, spend the entire weekend in your pjs!  And maybe a sweatshirt, in case it gets chilly!
  • Be you, be comfortable, and leave that stress of what to wear at the door. 
  • Basic toiletries (shower essentials, etc.).
    • We will have a few of these in case you forget something!
  • Photos, scrapbooks, or videos of your child(ren) - if you have them and are comfortable sharing. This will be one of the few places you can “brag” about how adorable they are!
  • An open-mind and open heart. We are here to love and support one another, no matter how different we may be. In fact, our differences are what make us so great! So, be yourself and know you will be loved unconditionally.

 

WHAT TO BRING FOR A VIRTUAL RETREAT


  • Your phone or computer - make sure to have the information on how to log in! (you will receive this in an email prior to the retreat)
  • Your retreat materials, which will be mailed to you 1-2 weeks before the start of the retreat
  • A quiet space with limited interruptions (for both you and your fellow retreat participants)
Thank you for recognizing the importance of post-placement support:
