You may carry sweaters/shawls/stoles if required.
Please do not wear or carry valuable items such as precious jewelry.

The Communal Spirit
Punctuality: Our schedule is tightly knit. Please ensure you are at the Academy by 5:30 AM sharp for departure.
Respect the Forest: We are guests of the woods. Please avoid littering, plucking flowers, loud noise, shouting, or disturbing the local flora and fauna.
Carpooling: As we are traveling in participant vehicles, please be helpful and considerate to your car-group and driving volunteer.
Gratitude: We are immensely grateful to our venue partner and the owner of SHILPGRAM 9, for opening their doors to our retreat. Please ensure that the premises are returned in a clean and hygienic condition, and that we stay respectful towards the caretakers at the venue.
