This registration fee includes a basic tent site with no electricity, and it does not include meals.

Upgrades are available depending on the location.

At Spirit Haven:

If you want or need electricity, it is available for tents for $5 for the weekend. Note: Even if you don’t get the electricity upgrade, there are outlets available to charge your devices. If you want the convenience of having it in your tent or require a CPAP or something, please get the upgrade.

If you prefer to bring an RV, there is a limited number of RV electrical spots available. This is electrical only, no water or dump station. These sites are available for $15 each for the weekend. First come, first served—reserve your spot early. You may also bring an RV but not hook it up to electricity for no additional cost. The RV should remain quiet during the retreat (no loud generators).

Meal ticket: $80 per person. This gives you access to prepared meals from Friday lunch through breakfast Monday. This also includes snacks, water, and Gatorade throughout the retreat.

Yes. We are doing our best to keep costs as low as possible, and part of that means asking everyone to pitch in and do a little community service to make this Reiki retreat a success. There are several options to choose from. Feel free to select all you are open to so when we are placing, we can give everyone assignments they will enjoy (selecting more than one does not mean more assignments, it’s just more options). Here are the options:

Set Up

Are you coming in Thursday? We need to set up a couple canopies and some massage tables. We also need showers set up.

Check In

We need help checking everyone in and directing participants to the correct location to setup camp. This is an ideal position for someone arriving on Thursday and wanting to help out Thursday evening or Friday morning. Being familiar with Spirit Haven Ranch is a plus but not required.

Medical

This is an excellent position for someone who’s medically trained and willing to be on call for a portion of the weekend. Experience in handling trauma (EMT, ER, etc) is a plus. Having people we know we can call on in an emergency is beneficial for all of us.

Snake Wrangler

Do you love snakes? Some people do, some are terrified. If you have an interest in snakes, this is a great option for you. We can’t promise there will be snakes to remove from the property, but we can’t promise there won’t be either. Having people on call to take care of slithery situations will make everyone feel more comfortable.

Drummer

We offer several labyrinth walks so everyone has an opportunity to experience the labyrinth in smaller groups. Each group needs someone to drum. This is an excellent opportunity for drummers (you know who you are)!

Teaching

Do you have ideas of classes or workshops you would like to teach? We’re hoping for a variety of teachers throughout the weekend, please submit your class ideas!
Note: You must be a Reiki Master (or in an apprenticeship program) to teach Reiki I or Reiki II. No Reiki experience is required for other classes such as Yoga or Meditation.

Tear Down

Can you help take some things down Sunday evening? Are you staying through Monday? We have to take down the canopies, massage tables, and showers. We also need people to help make sure everyone has cleaned up their spaces because this is a “leave no trace” event. We may also have other closing duties as they arise.

General Help

This is a catch-all for any other general help we may need during the Reiki retreat and/or for community service options we don’t know exist yet. This may include things like switching out propane at the showers, teacher assistants, making sure everyone has water, or helping people set up/take down tents.

Yes, we will email a schedule of events to all registered participants approximately 2 weeks prior to the Reiki retreat at the email address you supply during registration. If it is within 2 weeks of the event and you have not received the information and schedule, please contact us.

When you get an attunement, your body, spirit, and soul go through a cleansing and balancing period. For a beginner who is first initiated, this period is only three weeks. When you get your second, it’s about six months. We feel stacking even just those is too intense for most people so we only give one level at a time, and then we give you the opportunity to adjust and master that level before moving to the next.

The Master/Teacher level is a year-long apprenticeship program and cannot be completed within the weekend. If you are Reiki II and interested in the next level, speak with Lopsi privately.

We are aware there are other retreats which offer the more intense attunements either at the same time or stacked close together so you can reach the “Master” level within one weekend. We don’t feel this is in the practitioner’s best interests, and our goal is to teach you where you are and what you can handle safely. When you have truly mastered the level you’re on and are ready for the next step, we will be happy to offer it.

If you have no experience, you can learn Reiki I at this retreat (at no additional cost) and receive an attunement for Reiki I.

If you are already a Reiki I, you can learn Reiki II at this retreat (at no additional cost) and receive an attunement for Reiki II.

If you are already Reiki II or a Reiki Master, you can receive another attunement at this retreat because attunements are excellent for helping us balance and align!

The only requirement is closed-toe shoes. Otherwise, you should be comfortable. This event is clothing optional. If you choose to go nude or topless, please remember sunscreen. If you choose to be clothed, wear something comfortable. Body shaming will NOT be permitted – if you don’t like what you see, don’t look.

This is a camping event—You’ll want to bring all your basic camping equipment such as a tent, bedding, toiletries, bug spray, sunblock, flashlights, camping chair, clothes, closed-toe shoes (there are mesquite trees, snakes, scorpions, etc!).

If you choose not to participate in the meal ticket, bring plenty of food, snacks, and LOTS of water.

We will offer Yoga classes each morning. If you choose to participate, you may want comfortable clothing, a yoga mat, and any other accessories you desire.

Bring anything you would like to share or experiment with during the retreat such as crystals or pendulums. We also encourage drumming and musical instruments.

This is mostly tent camping, though there are some RV spots. Electricity is available upon request. There are many shade trees and some structures to help provide shelter from the sun.

The base price includes entry to the retreat with a basic tent site for the entire retreat. Note that this is the entire amount, not a “nightly” fee. Once you’re in, you are welcome to attend any classes and activities you desire at no additional cost. This includes Reiki attunements, the wide variety of classes we will be offering, Reiki shares, walking the labyrinth, and socializing with other practitioners.

What it does NOT include: a camping site with electricity or meals. There are upgrades available if you want electricity – whether you’re camping in a tent or an RV. You also have the option of purchasing a meal ticket. This is not required in order to keep costs low – if you would rather feed yourself over the weekend to keep costs low or due to a special diet, you’re welcome to. If you want to purchase a ticket and join in the provided meals, we would love to have you.

We can offer refunds until 30 days prior to the event. After that, no refunds will be given.

This is completely up to you, but here’s some information to help you make that decision.
There are outlets available for you to recharge cell phones, fans, etc., regardless of whether you get the electricity upgrade.

If you use a CPAP, nebulizer, or require electricity for other uses, we urge you to consider the electricity upgrade (breathing is absolutely required at the retreat!).

If you want electricity because you have an electric air pump or other reasons, then do it. Electricity is not restricted to medical use only.

You may smoke, but remember this is LEAVE NO TRACE event. You must dispose of your butts properly, and do NOT leave them on the ground. Please also be respectful of those around you who may not be smokers.

It is recommended you do not use mind-altering substances such as excessive alcohol during the retreat so you can remain present and gain more from the retreat; however, you are expected to do what is necessary for your health.

In general, no. Because it is clothing optional, you cannot take photos of people except with express permission. If you seek permission, make sure you obtain permission from everyone in the background too. It is possible we take some photos for future use on the website, but you will be aware and have the ability to step out of any photo.

You may take photos of objects as long as no people are included.

Easy! Don’t! This is YOUR retreat for YOUR healing and growth. If you don’t think you can handle or don’t want to attend any class or event, then please do whatever you need to do – whether that’s visiting a sacred space, doing personal work, or taking a nap.

Cellular plans utilizing the AT&T towers have service on property; however others often do not.

This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out event. That means you need to bring trash bags and be prepared to take your trash back home with you to dispose of.

Note: Burnable trash can be placed in the fire!
