If you choose a shared room, I’ll always do my best to match you with a suitable roommate. Most of the time, this works out beautifully — many retreaters come solo and are happy to share.

However, if I’m unable to pair you with someone for some or all of your stay, you’ll be offered the room as a single and charged the single occupancy rate for the nights without a roommate. I’ll always keep you informed in advance so there are no surprises, and I’ll confirm final arrangements as we get closer to the retreat date.
