TRAVEL NOTES
By air, fly to Palma de Mallorca (PMI). If you like to explore beaches and other points of interest around the island we recommend you rent a car, or share a car with another guest.  Book in advance for best price. Contact me if you need a car-share buddy. Another option would be to take a taxi from the airport. Cal Reiet is in Santanyi, 45 minutes drive from the airport. 

CHECKIN TIME 
on arrival day, between 3 – 6 pm. Our first event together is dinner on arrival day at 6:30 or 7pm (front desk team will inform you). After dinner we will gather in the yoga shala for our opening circle, meet and greet, and some easy stretching before bed. 

ROOM ASSIGNMENTS
all rooms at Cal Reiet are beautifully appointed in similar style, and all rooms have their own private bathroom. The hotel team will show you to your specific room, which has been assigned in advance by Karl. Kindly do not ask the hotel staff to change your room. It is a small hotel and all the rooms are assigned so that double occupancy guests have the larger rooms, and single occupancy rooms are assigned in order of registration date. If you have any special requirements, for example for medical reasons you can`t navigate stairs, then please advise Karl before the retreat.

CHECKOUT
On departure day, checkout by 11:00. Late arrival or early departure may be arranged, however, please be advised we cannot offer partial refunds for unused days or meals.

Excellent vegetarian brunch and dinner are included in the retreat price. All meals are chef-prepared, delicious vegetarian, buffet style. A few items may include egg and dairy and these will be indicated. No meat is served at the retreat. Beer and wine are available at addtional cost. We encourage everyone to consider a no-alcohol week, but the choice is yours.

ALLERGIES
If you have any food allergies or special dietary needs, please indicate this on the retreat signup form.

SILENCE
To establish a quiet ambience for our retreat, we keep silence (no talking, no texting, etc.) in the mornings from dawn until brunch, and also evenings after 9:30pm. Otherwise you are free to talk as much as you like.

MINDFULNESS
All-day mindfulness is part of our retreat practice. This means we slow down, enjoy the fragrant air with each breath, feel the texture of the smooth stones in the garden path, support the staff by taking our own dishes to the service area after meals. Simple details like this make a big difference.

Clothing for any warm and cool weather, sun hat, sunglasses, sun screen lotion, rain jacket, sturdy walking shoes/sneakers, house slippers or pool-side sandals, beach towel. 

WHAT IS PROVIDED
The retreat has a full assortment of yoga mats, blocks, bolsters, straps, and meditation cushions. In any case some guests prefer to bring their own mats from home. It`s up to you.

If you have any injuries or mobility restrictions we ask you to take responsibility for your own safety and skip or modify any activities or instructions as you deem necessary.
