Every retreat contributes to an organization of your choice whose mission is to counter or heal damage done to our planet home. Our lineup includes plastic cleanup from the oceans; work to ensure the safety and integrity of unpolluted food and clean water; and the planting of carbon-neutralizing trees and bee-supporting plants.
