Retreat Hours: The retreat begins at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.

You must be present at the start of the orientation to participate in the retreat.  Plan on the workshop to run 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. M-T, depending on group dynamics.  We offer evening activities as well. 

Dress: There are many things to enjoy while at the retreat!  Evening activities include Yoga, art therapy, and somatic therapy. 

Additionally, we have a small gym, and ample space for walks and enjoying the island.  

Dress for the retreat should be casual, comfortable and fairly conservative in style. No sleeveless shirts, tank tops, low cut shirts or dresses. 

Please refrain from clothing that references drugs, alcohol, sex and food. Participants are required to wear shoes at all times.

Please bring comfortable clothing and shoes for exercise and Yoga. 

Smoking Policy: Fresh Start has a strict smoking policy. Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas. 

What Not to Bring: We require that you abstain from alcohol and all non-prescribed drugs  during your retreat.  Failure to observe this requirement may result in a dismissal from the retreat with all funds forfeited.  

Please refrain from bringing any food products or drinks on campus. 

Cameras and recording devices are NOT permitted on campus. (Electronic devices are only allowed in your room. Wifi is available). 

Meals: The retreat fee includes all meals served. 

Work/Family:We encourage retreat participants to minimize work or communication with others in general, during the 7 day retreat.

While laptops may be brought, and there is WIFI, staying focused on your healing will allow you to gain the most from this retreat.

We suggest that retreat participants notify work, friends and family that they may not be available during the 7 days. This limits unnecessary stress and anxiety thereby increasing your awareness and healing during the retreat. 

We look forward to seeing you.
