In you are attending a retreat in-person, please fill out the next section so that we can accommodate your diet, roommate requests, medical needs, etc. If you are attending online only, you may skip this section.

I understand Dewachen is a masterpiece in progress in the middle of the jungle in Costa Rica. I understand it is common in rural situations for electric or water to go out temporarily. I understand bugs and critters co-exist in the jungle. Though preventative measures are taken by the hosts, it is possible I may see them in and around personal or shared spaces. (Our service team will happily help you.)	I understand and accept. I have questions and need somone to contact me.

Do you snore?

Diet Notes	Do you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions? If so, please indicate what foods you cannot eat and severity (for example: are you just Gluten Free vs Celiac?)

We encourage participants to do 45 minutes of Karma Yoga, or volunteering, per day.
