Here is a list of recommended items that will help you enjoy your stay to the fullest:
It could still be pretty cold in Lithuania in March, so bring lots of warm clothes, and a good coat for outdoors activities.If you want to use the sauna and take lake swims, remember your swimwear. A dry robe or fleece can also be useful for getting in and out of the water
If you want to join hikes, remember some good boots, and suitable clothing.
It’s a good idea to bring a water bottle so you can fill it up and keep it with you during the retreat - the tap water is safe to drink.
Feel free to bring any snacks or other treats, and you’re welcome to bring wine or beer to enjoy in the evenings.
Evenings are usually free time, so games, other activities or a good book could be an idea.
For getting around the property, some shoes that are easy to slip on and off can be useful if you have space!

YES! In fact we encourage people that have never tried anything creative before to join, and you will get just as much out of this retreat as anyone. Anyone can be creative, it’s just a matter of finding a way to get there.
Because we will offer a mixture of guided sessions, and time to experiment and play, you will have lots of opportunity to explore - but also remember, there is no assessment or end goal in mind here! If you do create your masterpiece great, but just the challenge of trying this will be a great achievement for you.
You will also get lots of benefit from being in a group, and being able to share and get feedback (if you’d like to), as the group will be lots of different levels, we encourage exchanging ideas and skills too.

Location: Siaurys is located about 80 km from Vilnius airport, and all attendees so far are arriving there at a similar time for a free shuttle. Please send enquiries to us for other arrivals here
Access: You can hire a car and take the (approx) 1 hour drive from Vilnius airport - a beautiful drive to start your adventure. We will also be arranging a transfer from the airport at a set time on the first day of the retreat. We will do our best to coordinate with all guests the best time depending on all flight arrival times, as we will have people arriving from all over the world.

Solo travellers are welcome, and we’ve also tried our best to make a solo occupancy room more affordable than charging you double.
You also have the option to book a shared room, and we imagine this will be a popular choice for most people, so you’ll right away feel a part of the group.
The dining will always be on a long table, so you’ll also never feel separate from the group - in fact this is a great environment if you’re travelling alone!

All bookings are non-refundable, and non-transferable. However, we will be happy to put your place back on sale, and if we’re able to sell it, we will pay back anything you have paid to you.
This is simply because we are pricing the retreat based on our target number of people, and any dropouts affects the price for all elements of the retreat.
We recommend that everyone booking also purchases travel insurance to cover for any unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control.
On the rare occasion we have to cancel the retreat, you will be refunded in full, but we will not be responsible for any travel you have booked. Most travel insurance would cover for an event being cancelled, and we are happy to provide written confirmation in that case that the retreat is not going ahead, to support your claim.
We completely understand that sometimes a situation arises that’s unavoidable, so if you have a special circumstance, you can arrange a call with us to talk about how we can help.
