Is this a naked retreat? Body positivity is fundamental to this work so if this is an edge of growth for you & is consented by the group, nudity is welcome within our 1st floor hotel space. As our retreat setting is in a culture that is still learning about body positivity, there may be times when clothing may be requested eg housekeeping hours
