Cost We work hard to keep our fees to a minimum, but cannot avoid significant out-of-pocket costs for the space and food for a residential retreat. The full cost for the retreat is $310. There is an option during registration to donate to a scholarship fund, or to draw from this scholarship fund to reduce your cost (See the section on "Financial Assistance" below.)
COVID: No specific protocols or requirements at this time, but we may follow up if circumstances change
Payment and Refund and Cancellation Policies
Payment Payment in full is preferred at time of registration. However, it is permissible to pay half at time of registration and the rest thirty days prior to the start of the retreat. Should RCS need to cancel a retreat for any reason (unlikely), all payments would be refunded in full.
Refund policy for cancellations: If you register and cancel 30 days or more prior to the retreat start date, you will receive a full refund. Cancellation up to 15 days prior to the start date will receive a 50% refund. No refunds are available after that date.
If you have registered for the retreat and need to cancel, please contact the retreat administrator asap.
Financial Assistance One of Red Clay's goals is for every one to be able to attend regardless of ability to pay. To achieve this goal, a scholarship fund has been accumulated from donations from previous retreats and is available to help pay for those who need financial assistance. If you need financial assistance for this retreat, please contact the retreat administrator.
Testimonials from past attendees
"The 5-day retreat offered me a chance to disconnect from daily distractions and find inner peace. I experienced reduced stress, improved concentration, and a deeper understanding of myself. The structured environment also encouraged self-discipline and emotional balance. Plus, being in a community of like-minded individuals was supportive and inspiring. This type of immersion is very difficult to experience in a daylong retreat."

"You might not expect that sitting, walking, and eating in complete silence alongside others for nearly five days could foster such a strong sense of community, but I discovered a renewed connection with everyone around me once the noise of everyday life was left behind.
The clear mountain air and serene setting created the perfect environment to unplug from the constant demands of modern technology. I found it surprisingly easy to set aside my phone and refrain from using it for nearly a week.
I am happy for future opportunities to participate in more retreats and hope to gain further insights from peacefully coexisting within such an accommodating community."
