Dates:
Arrival in Cardiff, Wales: October 11, 2023
Departure from Wales: October 20, 2023
We strongly encourage you to come at least a day early to rest up from jet lag.
We won't be exploring Cardiff as a group, but it's well worth your time as it's full of history and the capital of Wales.
Most flights arrive from North America overnight to Amsterdam (and perhaps Dublin,) then direct to Cardiff early in the morning. That will your recommended route if arriving on October 11.

This trip is ideal for those who want deep connections and immersion in a natural setting.
Those who love 'sightseeing' and tourist destinations might not be a good fit.
*Over the past two years we have all learned to hold things lightly and changes can happen.
The fine print:
Please secure travel insurance shortly after registering for the trip. Sometimes our best laid plans change and that's what trip insurance is for. We strongly encourage you to purchase insurance so that in the event you cannot attend the retreat, you can recover your investment. We already have a considerable amount of cash invested in this trip and that will only increase the closer we get to the event. That's why we must implement the following:
While the deposit is not refundable, if you must cancel the following will apply:

While the deposit is not refundable, if you must cancel the following will apply:
- For cancellation between 12 weeks and 4 weeks prior to trip commencement, 50% of the total cost of the package.
- For cancellation after the first payment is due but prior to 12 weeks before our trip, full refund (less the deposit) if we are able to fill your spot. If we cannot fill your spot, we will base the refund on the investment we've already made. In other words, we'll refund what we can.
- For cancellation 30 days prior up to the trip commencement, 100% of the total cost of the package.
- If you make adjustments to the trip, such as deciding to leave a day early, there will not be reimbursement for unused lodging.
- Please note we are a group of friends leading this trip and we are not underwritten by an organization. It is in this generosity of spirit that we ask you to participate, and we cannot control all the outcomes.
- If the world turns upside down again and the trip is cancelled, we'll do our best to prorate the deposit based on reservations that we've paid which aren't refundable. We're doing our best to make sure almost all of them are, however.
Deep peace I breathe into you, O weariness, here:
O ache, here!
Deep peace, a soft white dove to You;
Deep peace, a quiet rain to you;
Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you!
Deep peace, red wind of the east from you;
Deep peace, grey wind of the west to You;
Deep peace, dark wind of the north from you;
Deep peace, blue wind of the south to you!
Deep peace, pure red of the flame to you;
Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you;
Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you;
Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you;
Deep peace, pure grey of the dew to you,
Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you!
Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you!
Deep peace of the Yellow Shepherd to you,
Deep peace of the Wandering Shepherdess to you,
Deep peace of the Flock of Stars to you,
Deep peace from the Son of Peace to you,
Deep peace from the heart of Mary to you,
And from Briget of the Mantle
Deep peace, deep peace!
And with the kindness too of the Haughty Father
Peace!
In the name of the Three who are One,
Peace!
And by the will of the King of the Elements,
Peace! Peace!
