Schedule

Please note that we will be starting the Retreat at 2pm on Friday, March 23rd. Please plan your schedule accordingly.

Expectations

In order to maintain the spirit of the retreat, we need to make sure everyone is on the same page with what we expect from each other. Basically there are two main goals to this retreat, in no particular order, and that is, to take a good dose of reviving spiritual goodness and to have a good old time with each other. So with that in mind, we ask that each of us take a look at the following list of expectations and keep them in mind for the days we spend together.

• Age: You must be at least 21 years old by the first day of the retreat in order to attend.
• Let's go: We will be starting early the year, please plan on being at theretreat centerby 2 pm. We understand that some of you may have to take off early from work, but please do what you need to do to be on time. If you really want to benefit and grow from this retreat, you must be willing to make a sacrifice. If you are not willing to make this sacrifice, then please DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE RETREAT.
• Are we there yet?: Also, we ask that everyone stick around till the very end. Nobody likes those who sneak out of something early! The retreat will conclude at 2 pm on Sunday.
• Sticking together: We want to do everything together in one unity at the retreat. Therefore, when it is time for a talk or discussion or Liturgy, we ask that you be there on time. Everyone should participate in all the sessions of the retreat.And relax free time is a given at these retreats. The schedule has been planned carefully as to give enough time for discussion, talks, and free time, meals: other people have worried about this stuff so you don't have to!
• Rise and shine, sunshine: Just so there are no surprises: everyone will be up and participating by 8:00 am each morning. And if you're not a morning person, you will be for this weekend. Remember we don't want to waste time!!!! P.S. We are adults, so there is no curfew. The only rule is that the common areas of the retreat center be cleared on both nights by midnight. Fair?
• What to bring?: Bible, Agpeya, personal toiletries.
