There are three main properties at which retreat participants will be housed: Casa Sangam Farmhouse, Retino Stone House, and Retino Wood House. Please see the Casa Sangam website for further details and pictures of the various accommodation options.

Please note that single rooms are limited. While we will do our best to accommodate preferences, room assignments will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you wish to share with a specific friend or partner, please book your tickets and indicate your sharing preference in the relevant place on the registration form. Shared rooms will be allocated based on gender.

Please note that the Casa Sangam Farmhouse is a spiritual center and does not permit couples to share a room. However, there are other accommodation options in the Retino Stone House and Retino Wood House where couples are able to share a room. Double/twin rooms in these properties can be configured either with two twin beds or one double bed.

To book this option, please make two separate bookings, selecting “Bed in Double/Twin Room” on the registration options page. Please ensure you have outlined your preferences for who you would like to share with clearly in the registration form, and we will look to assign you a shared room accordingly.

All base fees go directly toward 6 nights of lodging, 3 meals daily plus break-time refreshments and necessary administrative operations. Travel costs are not included.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided for attendees. All meals at Casa Sangam are vegetarian or vegan and served buffet-style. Every meal prepared is a conscious act, a fusion of organic ingredients from the local farm, united with a spiritual intention.

If you are following a gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan diet, please indicate this on the registration form so the kitchen can prepare suitable alternatives. For any other dietary requirements, please contact the organiser to check whether they can be accommodated.

If you have any food allergies, please contact the organiser to discuss how Casa Sangam can support you. If you have any questions or concerns about the menu or dietary requirements, please feel free to contact us. Alcohol is forbidden on Casa Sangam property.

Commuter tickets are non-residential tickets for those who prefer to stay off-site. These include breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Casa Sangam, and participation in all group events.

The Basic Tier (i.e. $0 Dakshina) price for a Commuter ticket is $950. To book a Commuter ticket, please select your tier preference depending on the level of Dakshina you wish to provide, and list your accomodation preference as the Commuter option. This will subtract the residential accomodation cost from your fee.

We strongly recommend securing outside accommodation before purchasing a commuter ticket. Please contact the team to discuss local accomodation options.
