Florida Retreat FAQs

Why is the retreat called "Knock Knock, Who's There"?  What does that mean?

Through our inner exploration, we have found what ancient teachings have told us was there- an internal guidance system that holds answers, support and a playful outlook on all of life.  Some may call it a "Holy Spirit", others call it "Spirit Guides", intuition and so on.  No matter what you call it, it is there and we all have access to it.  You don't have to be a psychic to "download" messages or even playful guidance for yourself.  It turns out, in our experience, once you start to access this system of consciousness, life becomes more of a game- a different perspective opens a lighter way to look at things.  We don't have to take life so seriously and even find new avenues to explore that we didn't before see.  We can address life as a continual "knock knock" on our door to whom we can answer "who's there?" and receive a wonderful response that allows us to access the magic that is available here for us!

What type of food will be served at the retreat?

Your chef will provide nutritious and fresh food to satisfy most all dietary needs.  Food options will be agreeable with most vegan, vegetarian, gluten free or keto/carnivore style diets.  If you have a special allergy or dietary need, kindly let us know on your introductory survey and we will communicate with you directly about our ability to meet your needs.  We strive to accommodate everyone.  

I saw a reference to Biblical texts, will discussions be based on a particular religion or will they go against any religion or even atheism?  

Absolutely not!  Each member of our retreat team has the utmost respect for ALL religions (or lack thereof).  The texts that we will reference are sewn together with common hints and threads of our mystical and physical world regardless of the ultimate belief in any particular deity or teaching.  Our goal is to unite these teachings to find consistencies that also coincide with current understandings in quantum sciences.  All points of view are respected and the discussions will focus on neutral understandings and not profess any truths with respect to any Divine actors or stories or even scientific theories.  There are incredible truths hidden within spiritual texts that open up our minds to a deeper appreciation for our individual beliefs.  We will be playing with varying interpretations of spiritual texts but these are up for discussion and not presented as truth or dogma.  When you see how everything fits together, it becomes quite a magical unveiling!

What exactly will we be doing for the yoga and movement portions of the retreat?

We will incorporate some light breathing and yogic movement exercises that are appropriate for all levels and capabilities.  You can move as you feel most comfortable.  Utilizing the breath to help us open our hearts and minds is a very effective practice but you need not do anything that is not of interest to you.
 

Are all activities in the retreat required attendance?

Nope- this is an investment in yourself and you are completely free to participate how you see fit.  Feel free to go out for an extended nature hike or enjoy time to journal or meditate privately during an activity or even explore the town.  We will have free times spread throughout the event as well.  This is your time- enjoy!
 

How does the shared room or bed option work?

If you choose a shared room or bed option, you will either have a friend with whom you'd like to share a bed or we will pair you with a person of the same sex with whom you will share the bed.  If you typically don't share a room or bed with "strangers" we ask you to consider the value of this retreat and how such things won't matter much once we dive into it all.  We have had many people take this jump in previous retreats and end up telling us they didn't even notice they had a bed-mate after the first day because we immediately become very close friends!  You will likely end up enjoying a little camp style option quite a bit if that's the rooming selection you choose!  Just mention in your submission that you are interested in a shared room or bed option and our team will contact you with all available options.  Trust us- the retreat is WAY worth it if this is the only option left when you book.  Otherwise you can choose a couch or bring a sleeping bag and find your space- we have many options in our many homes!
 

How will I know what to bring on the retreat?

You will receive a full Welcome Packet that will walk you through a detailed look at the daily activities and such information as weather in the area, access to the beautiful space and what to bring.  We can tell you now (because it's been asked already) that you may bring a bathing suit for enjoyment of the hot tub and/or sauna but that is not mandatory.  We will also send you a survey approximately one week after you register so you may share such things as any current allergies to consider or if you would like help arranging travel plans.
 

Is there anything I need to know or read prior to the retreat so I am ready for the discussions and meditations?

Not necessarily- you are free to come as you are and we will meet you in that place.  Leah has a strong background in quantum physics and spiritual teachings such as "A Course in Miracles", "Law of One", "Impersonal Life", the "Holy Bible", the "Bhagavad Gita", the "Anastasia" series, the teachings of Neville Goddard, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Abraham, Joseph Benner, Dr. David Hawkins and more so having a base understanding of any of these teachings might make it a quicker process but is absolutely not necessary as everything will be discussed at the level of each person's understanding.  If you are going to choose one book to read prior to the retreat to get you started, Leah recommends you choose a book by Neville Goddard or a collection of his lectures as a nice base understanding of these teachings.   

ONE NOTE:  if you are interested in getting the most of your astral travel practice on the retreat, we highly recommend the book:  "Adventures Beyond the Body" by William Buhlman.  It is not necessary but does explain the process of astral travel quite nicely.
