Can my kids come?

Due to the nature of inner process work, children unfortunately cannot attend the event (babes in arms and breastfeeding toddlers are welcome). Please arrange alternate child minding while you attend the event. And this gives you a ‘mini break’ from the kids too

Do you cater for special dietary requirements?

Yes.  All meals are vegetarian and deliciously prepared with love and care. Please advise Nivannii of any special dietary needs you may have when you register.  You can complete the field in the PayPal payment facility, or email Nivannii directly to convey your requirements.

Do I have to participate in workshops?

No.  The workshops are optional and you decide which if any, you’d like to participate in. There’s an abundant choice of exceptional workshops for you to choose from, however if you want to relax under a tree, meditate or swim in the beautiful lake … then do just that
