FAQs

What is the lottery?
Being selected in the lottery does not mean you get a free ticket to the event. Because we have more demand than space available, we utilize a lottery system for the registration process. The lottery for this event will be held May 13-19, 2026. Your ticket payment is not charged when you enter the lottery. If you are selected in the lottery, you will be notified by email and your payment will be processed on Thursday, May 21. If you are not selected in the lottery, you will be placed on the wait list and notified by email if space opens up for you to attend. If you don’t receive a spot, we encourage you to stay connected for future events.

What’s included in the retreat cost?
Economy Room ($695) - Economy room is defined as one woman in each bed, meaning every top bunk and every bottom bunk filled (14-18 women per room).

Standard Room ($850) - Standard room is defined as a room where each woman has a bottom bunk or single bed. No one will be on the top bunk in these rooms (7 to 10 women per room).

Is there a waitlist?
Yes! If space opens up, we will notify individuals on the waitlist.

Can I bring my daughter/mother/friend?
If you would like to attend with a friend or family member, please enter a unique group name when you enter the lottery. Then have the other ladies in your group enter the lottery and use that same group name. This will be used as your roommate request. Roommate requests can only be honored for standard registrants requesting other standard registrants and economy registrants requesting other economy registrants. We cannot room you together if you are not in the same type of room. If you enter the lottery as a group, your entire group will either be selected in the lottery or put on the waitlist together.
