    Onsite Retreat- Guest Safety Notice

    The safety and support of our community is and always will be our number one priority. Because we are so invested in prioritizing the health and well-being of our entire global Kula, we have put great consideration into the ethical timing to opening our Portugal center and offering retreats this year.
    We believe that it is important that everyone has the space to drop in and feel resourced through these teachings, so, this decision feels right to us if the conditions continue to support it. We agree to keep each of you informed as we receive any updates or changes come along, we will continue to keep a close eye on the CDC reports for global travel and health conditions, and we will be consistent in communicating with you should any changes occur.
