FAQs

DOES REVAMP HELP ARRANGE FLIGHTS? AND AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION?

We can absolutely help you find the best flight options. We will look at price, travel duration, and arrival/departure times. Airport transportation is also arranged for our groups. Once you reserve your spot, you can be sure that we will help you arrange all of the details.

WHAT DOES THE RETREAT SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE?

While each retreat is unique, we generally have morning and evening practice with yoga, meditation classes and various workshops and talks. During the day, we plan excursions, community service trips and time to relax or explore! Although there are tons of offerings during your experience, everything is fully optional and we want you to do what feels best.

DO YOU NEED A SPECIAL VISA TO ATTEND A RETREAT IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY?

You will not need a visa for our retreats (unless listed), and you will need a passport to travel internationally. Please make sure to check your passport’s expiration date (3-6 months validity is required for most countries) and that you have blank pages for stamps. If you need an updated passport, there are expedited services available. Let us know if you have any questions regarding this area specifically.

WHAT IS TRAVEL LIKE DURING THIS TIME?

We have been running smooth and amazing retreats during this time! Although each country has different restrictions, we are bringing people to locations where we feel very safe and where requirements are minimal. We will always be there to support you through the entire process so you can travel with ease and confidence.

WHAT IF I FLY IN EARLY OR STAY AFTER THE RETREAT?

If you want to extend your trip, we are more than happy to assist you in creating your next adventure. If your goal is to stay for an extended period of time, you may need to research visas for the specific location you wish to travel to. If you let us know your plans ahead of time, we can assist.

WHAT WILL THE FOOD BE LIKE? WILL YOU BE ABLE TO CATER TO DIETARY RESTRICTIONS?

We cater to all dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.) and do our best to meet any specific allergies. We choose retreat centers that have healthy, fresh food as that is very important to us! Some meals will be buffet style while others will be plated or family style. We also offer opportunities to explore local restaurants.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE PRIOR TO RETREATS?

Definitely not! Our retreats are open to everyone no matter where you are in your journey. Everyone will walk away with something new, and it may be much more than you realize. These retreats are created to be transformational and life-changing.

HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS ATTEND THE RETREATS?

The groups usually range between 20 and 35 people. Our goal is to keep things intimate to help ensure that everyone receives plenty of attention and love.
