FReQUENtly ASKED QUEstiONS ABOUt OUR SPIRituAL RetreATS
1. Who are the participants? What is the general age of the participants? Is there a minimum age limit?
Our participants include individuals from all walks of life. Men and women who are gay, bisexual, lesbian, straight, transgender, questioning, etc, from every cultural and ethnic background. Our average age range is between 35 and 75, but we've had some 80 year olds at the front of the pack!
2. Is this a retreat for hookups and sexual activity? What about drug use?
Spirit Journeys gives people a chance to make new heartfelt relationships, often deeper and more heartfelt than the typical gay and lesbian tour companies and cruise ships make possible. We encourage people to maintain sobriety from addictive patterns and recreational substances in order to take advantage of the wonderful company around them.
3. I'm spiritual but not religious. Is this retreat going to preach any particular type of spirituality or religion?
We encourage our participants to bring their own deepest wisdom and spiritual beliefs to the community that we create together at every event. We invite you to participate in ceremonies and practices from religious traditions around the world. At the same time, we respect and encourage you to participate at your own level.
4. I'm not totally out. Do I have to worry about being outed in any way or will my photograph be taken?
We care deeply about the privacy of every participant on our retreats and journeys. We ask our participants to join us in getting permission before taking any photograph that could identify anyone else on the trip, and we only share your contact info with other participants in ways that we specifically authorize.
5. I like my own private space. Are there single bedrooms available? What can I expect from the accomodations?
Every journey and retreat includes free time so you can have a little time to yourself, and single accomodations are available on every journey for an additional fee.
6. Am I required to attend all activities?
We make ample free time for you to do your own activities and we will certainly work with you around special needs. Every activity builds on the others and all are strongly encouraged to attend.
7. Can I smoke, use drugs, or bring alcohol to the event or retreat?
We make space for smoking and caffeine use although we ask participants to refrain from all other drug or alcohol use. Some retreats include alcohol at the final meal and/our outings for those who wish to have a drink.
