If you would like to venture further out, we suggest you wear boots and pants. Also do not go out barefoot or allow children to do so as there may be debris that could be dangerous.
NOTE: Bugs and other Critters may be accompanying us. We would like to stress to guests that this is a country home and you will likely see bugs, lizards, bees and other critters :D

How to dress up for this place?

Fun Fact: Green absorbs more heat than black!
Little Note: Neither Wend nor Luis mind if you wear white.
What to prepare for
This not a fancy event <3
If you are the type that like to plan ahead and would like to know what to expect in terms of outfit vs activities, shoes vs ground, make-up vs heat, etc.
Here are three little things that you need to know :
EAT & DRINK
We will have chairs for the small event to sit and be together next to a Zen garden. However, please feel free to sit anywhere else (on the floor, the rocks, or a garden chair) as long as you remain in togetherness. Drinks may spill and stain your clothing, as some will contain colorful fruits such as hibiscus or watermelon. Just a heads up – a splash of color might be an accidental part of the fun!
PLAY
Even though this is a ceremony that will begin and conclude with prayers, we love playfulness, so feel free to break the ice at any time!
We have a DJ from 8:00-9:00 p.m., to get us moving, and because Luis is a fantastic salsa dancer!
If you feel inspired, bring your dancing shoes, but be aware that the ground is rustic and mostly unpaved.
EXPLORE
Closing Circle: There will have a closing circle dynamic at 10:00 p.m.
Feel free to take a walk afterward and enjoy the silence of the area.
We invite all attendees to exit the space in silence and respectfully.
If you are a guest staying at one of the units, join us for a more intimate circle at Unit 1 after 10:00 p.m.
