Packing Checklist and To Dos
Although we suggest checking the weather for Midpines, CA before making final packing decisions, below is a checklist to help you pack according to our retreat plans. Items with * are necessary so please let us know if you can't bring them and we'll try to provide it.
- 2021 specifically - face mask for public spaces
- *Yoga clothes (bendy comfy stuff) for practicing yoga but also something warm to wear over it until warmed up
- *Shoes in which you can do easy hikes and walk up the hill for outdoor yoga
- *Yoga mat
- *Small blanket or towel - to cushion your knees and bum and to wrap up in - used to be optional but considering COVID - please bring your own.
- *Journal or paper for taking notes and journaling
- *Writing device of choice (pens or pencils)
- *Reusable water bottle and if desired, travel coffee/tea cup
- *Mandala nature items (leaves, rocks, crystals, feathers, jewels, phrases, magazines, etc. - will be glued to paper, so consider size)
- *Sacred Space items to surround your section with, such as essential oil spray, crystals, decorative floor cover, nature items, jewels, sage, etc. This year - 2021 - your section will be at least 6 feet from the next person and you won't have to move the mat during the whole retreat. It will include a wall space to lean against and hang one of the projects we have for you. Bring stuff to establish your section and surround yourself with meaningful healing items to you.
