GENERAL INFORMATION
Who Qualifies to Attend the Retreat?: We accept most people that wish to improve their overall quality of life and well-being, but we want to ensure that you are fully able to travel and participate comfortably in our workshops. All individuals must be able to perform regular tasks without assistance, and are required to take care of their own self-care and general needs such as bathing, eating, drinking, dressing, going to the restroom, as well as going up and down stairs (for 2nd floor accommodations), and must be able to administer any medications you are recommended to take by your doctor or health care provider. Personal attendants and health care providers are welcome to accompany you, but they are required to pay the full workshop fees which include bed, meals and entry to workshops.

Dress Code: We encourage you to be comfortable! Grace of Angels cancer support retreats are usually held during the milder months when temperatures are not too hot or too cold; however, Mother Nature is often unpredictable. Sweaters or light coats and umbrellas are recommended for spring retreats and warmer garb for fall workshops. Remember you can always take off a layer! For some workshops you will be reclining on floor mats, so dress is casual & comfortable throughout the Retreat. You are welcome to bring hiking boots if you plan to explore the grounds or hike to the Shrine. While we hope for honesty and integrity, there are no locks or safes, so please leave valuables at home.

Washington is a small town that offers a variety of shops & antiques.
