What to Expect
⭐️ Overview
We (Yashar & Christine) are bringing a handful of friends together to learn from each other, get inspired, build friendships, and have fun. We plan on hosting one retreat per year on our property.
We’ve invited some of the most interesting people we know. We will be a small intimate group and most of us will be meeting in person for the first time.
Every couple will host a session for the group. You can do it together, or use the hour to host two sessions individually. The sessions are free form and can be on any topic you’re passionate about.
🏨 Location
You’ll be staying at our house on Salt Spring Island. Each couple will have their own room in either the main house or cottage. We’ll be hosting the workshops onsite and will drive or walk to nearby activities. If you’re bringing your kiddo, we’ll have childcare and the cottage will double as daycare.
✈️ Transportation
You’ll need to book round trip transportation to and from the island. Given it’s the long weekend, we highly recommend taking a sea plane and avoiding the ferry. Please book ASAP.
- See Action Items below for details on how to book.
🧳 What to Bring
Besides the basics you usually pack, here are a few items that will help you get the most out of the weekend:
🗓 Dates
You need to arrive on Salt Spring Island by Saturday, September 3 between 9 and 10am. You’re welcome to arrive a day early anytime on Friday, September 2. We have accommodation for everyone until Monday, September 5. If it’s easier to leave on Tuesday, September 6 you’re welcome to stay until 11am.
🤹🏻♀️ Programming
🚌 means we’ll be offsite, and 🍰 means we’re eating cake.
🚗 Getting to the House
🐙 What’s Included, What’s Not
Everything is at cost. Most meals will be catered. When we dine out, we’ll settle the bill to make it easier. We’ll run the numbers at the end of the retreat and send everyone what’s owed. If you’re bringing a kiddo, the cost of childcare will be included in the total.
- Taxis and transportation are not covered.
- Drinks are included, but if you have something you love feel free to bring your own, though fridge space will be very limited.
