Step 1 · Please Complete First
Your PARQ Form
The PARQ (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) helps us gather important information about your health, fitness and any allergens or dietary needs ahead of the retreat.
It also includes our cancellation policy, which we ask you to read and sign to confirm you've seen it. This helps us take the very best care of you — physically, emotionally and in the kitchen too.
It only takes a few minutes and everything is kept fully confidential.
Please complete this as soon as possible — ideally within the next 7 days.

Step 4 · Know Before You Go
What To Bring & What To Expect
The little details to help you arrive feeling prepared and at ease. Should any other questions arise, we will add to this section. x
What should I pack & bring with me?
Cosy, comfortable layers — think soft loungewear, warm jumpers and something snuggly for the fireside. Plus:
✓ Waterproof jacket & sturdy walking shoes/boots
✓ Comfy movement clothes (leggings, t-shirts)
✓ A Favourite Blanket for meditations etc (Optional - We will have plenty)
✓ Any crystals, oracle cards etc you feel drawn to bring.
✓ Water bottle (Optional)
✓ Warm socks, slippers & something to sleep in
✓ An open heart and a willingness to engage
What time should I arrive on Friday?
Please arrive between 5:30pm and 6pm on Friday 16th October. This gives you time to settle in, find your room and enjoy a warm drink before dinner at 7pm. Full address and directions will be sent to you closer to the date.
What can I expect from the weekend?
Expect warmth, spaciousness and a beautifully held rhythm. There'll be gentle guided sessions, delicious food, meaningful conversation and plenty of quiet moments just for you.
Everything is optional. There's no pressure to perform, share more than feels right, or join in with anything that doesn't call to you. This is your time.
Do I need to be fit or experienced in movement/meditation?
Not at all. Every session is gentle, adaptable and designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether it's your first sound bath or your hundredth Pilates class, you'll feel welcome and supported.
Will there be Wi-Fi & phone signal?
Yes, Wi-Fi is available should you need it. That said, we gently invite you to consider putting your phone on silent or airplane mode as much as you can — part of the magic of the weekend is unplugging from the noise.
Who can I contact if I have questions before the retreat?
Anything at all — please just drop us a line at hello@soulstrongretreats.co.uk or on the Whats App group. Big questions, tiny questions, dietary details — nothing is too small. We're here.
