Clothing
Please wear clothing appropriate for a spiritual setting. We suggest comfortable and loose-fitting clothing. The following items are not permissible: revealing, provocative or extremely tight-fitting clothing such as spandex, tights or yoga pants, tank tops, tube tops, ripped t-shirts or jeans, exposed shoulders, short shorts, crop tops, graphic tees or shirts referencing drugs, alcohol, sex and/or illegal activity.
Cabins, house both males and females, so be sure you bring appropriate attire for a co-ed cabin.
Room Assignments
Room assignments are completed before the retreat and cannot be changed at the retreat center. If you have a specific roommate request, let us know early. If not, we will choose and assign you a roommate. Men and women may room together if they request it in advance on their registration form.
Smoking
Retreatants who wish to smoke may do so only in designated smoking areas. Retreatants may not smoke or vape anywhere inside the buildings. DaySpring Retreat Center utilizes laser light smoke detectors and vaping will set off the detectors. If this happens, they charge a $500 fine. All cigarette butts must be properly disposed of in the ash cans provided.
Meals
Five meals are provided at DaySpring: dinner Friday evening, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and Sunday breakfast. If you require a special diet, please do not hesitate to bring your own food. There are mini-refrigerators available. Snacks are provided during the Friday and Saturday coffee breaks.
All meals are meetings, so even if you do not wish to eat, you need to show up and fill your place at the meal-meetings. Please DO NOT LEAVE the retreat. This is a small retreat, and when someone leaves, it interrupts the intimate retreat experience for the other attendees. Dining room seats are chosen at random by the placing of nametags before each meal. Moving nametags is a no-no. Food and/or drinks are not permitted in guest rooms.
