Please send your flight details to Brenda in the Eupsychia offices as soon as you know it. If you know it at the time you register online, you may enter it in the fields provided. Those choosing to drive may access driving directions from this website or visit MapQuest for your specific instructions. A map will also be mailed to you with your confirmation materials.

CATCHING THE SHUTTLE AT THE AIRPORT:

When you've collected your baggage from Baggage Claim in Atlanta on Friday afternoon, meet everyone in the central seating area of the Atrium of the airport, near the big clock. Any airport employee will be happy to direct you. When everyone is gathered together, our staff will guide the group to the shuttle which will depart from either the North or South terminal on the level below baggage claim. The trip to Dahlonega takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Airport delays can happen! Please bring a good book and patience : )

MEAL SPAN:

First Meal is dinner on August 22nd at about 7:00 pm. Drivers please arrive by 6:00 p.m. or before to settle in before the airport shuttle arrives. The final meal is lunch on August 28nd. The shuttle generally leaves between 11:30 a.m. and noon on the final day.

Meals for non-vegetarians and vegetarians can be served. When you submit your personal information to us, please be sure to specify your dietary preference. We can only accommodate special diets to a realistic degree. If your diet is very specific, please consider bringing some of your own foods. (thanks). You may also call the Center (706/864-5861) if you need to discuss dietary issues with Ann or Marva, the chef.

TEMPERATURES AND DRESS:

Temperatures usually range from the 60's in the evenings to the 90's during the day. Rain is possible. Always check a national weather service for forecasts before packing and traveling. Dress casually and comfortably. During the breathwork process you will want to wear loose fitting, non-binding clothes. Body temperatures can sometimes drop during these sessions so sweats are a good choice on breathwork days.

ITEMS TO BRING/HOW TO PACK:

Comfortable, loose fitting clothes including raincoat
Unlined notebook or journal for note-taking and symbol drawing
Walking shoes
Item(s) that have a deep meaning for you to place on the altar. This helps create sacred space (optional)
Bathing suit for hot tubs (optional)
Backjack/stadium chair (optional, the retreat center has some)
Pillows, blanket and/or mat to lie on (using the bedding from your room is permitted)
Flashlight for walking trails at night
Only covered drinking containers are permitted in group rooms
Specialty foods that the Center will probably not have
If flying, a good book to pass the time in the airport. As mentioned above, the airport experience can be a good time to integrate forbearance (good humor) and patience. :)

"I've been searching for my authentic self for years through talk therapy, churches and workshops. All have been helpful but none so effective, intense or profound as my Eupsychia experience. I've "accomplished" more healing of deep seated grief and rage during 2 workshops than in all else I've done.

I've felt for a long time that my life would always primarily be about recovery from abuse, trauma and addiction, and less about full engagement, productivity and service.

In one of the breathwork sessions it suddenly hit me that I can get well! I get to live. I get to move beyond a frightful childhood experience into a beautiful, engaging mysterious life filled with purpose, joy and love.

And indeed this is already true."
