What if I’d like to fly from another departure airport? It may be possible to arrange another departure airport; contact Laurie for further details.
Do I meet the participation requirements? Are you female, 18 or older, with a history of trauma, and a desire for healing? Do you weigh between 60 and 250 pounds (this is only pertinent to the Zipline Adventure)? If required, would your doctor clear you for physical adventures such as: snorkeling, kayaking, swimming with dolphins, and the Zipline? The Healing the Inner Goddess Retreat is a drug and alcohol free retreat; only prescribed medication is allowed. If alcohol or chemical dependency has been an issue in the past year, proof of graduation from a licensed treatment program is required.
What if I don’t want to do one or more of the challenges? All of the activities and challenges are optional. Everything, including group participation, “sharing your story”, swimming with dolphins, everything is optional. You have a right to decide what you want to do every day of your life. If you choose not to do one or more of the 7 challenges and would still like to earn the Goddess Pendant and the Goddess Graduation Certificate, an optional non-physical challenge will be made available to you.
How do I know if I’m ready for the Healing the Inner Goddess Retreat? Your deposit reserves your space and initiates a Telephone Consultation Session with Laurie. During this session, it will be determined whether the timing is right for you to attend the next Healing the Inner Goddess Retreat. It is possible that Laurie may make other treatment recommendations and referrals, which may include follow-up telephone sessions. If it is determined that you are not ready to attend the upcoming Retreat, you will have the option of having your deposit returned immediately or applying it to reserve a space in the next Healing the Inner Goddess Retreat.
