- One suggestion that has worked well for many past participants: ask family members and/or friends to give you the gift of the retreat as a birthday, anniversary, or holiday (pre-Pesach) gift.
- Another idea that was done in the past: a retreat staff or friend in your neighborhood posts on the email/WhatsApp group in your community asking women to donate small sums towards giving a woman in great need of a break the opportunity of coming on the wellness retreat.
Can I get a discount for the retreat?
As we all know, we are currently in the shmitta year and the prices of produce are significantly higher. We arranged with the hotel to use only Eida Charedit produce for our retreat, so that everyone can join, regardless of their preference of shmitta produce.
While the hotel raised the prices since last retreat, we made a special arrangement with the hotel manager which has allowed us to keep the prices of the standard rooms the same as our last retreat in 2020.
Thank you for understanding that there are no additional discounts available.
If I register for the retreat and then get sick with COVID/corona myself, have a sick family member at home, are required to quarantine, or get a positive test result the morning of the retreat will I get a refund?
Yes.
You will get a full refund from the hotel when providing proof of any of these circumstances, less a non-refundable 200 nis retreat registration fee.
Are there additional precautions required by the retreat organizers?
Yes. In order to ensure that everyone will be safe without a mask while doing yoga, dancing, sitting in classes and workshops in enclosed spaces together, we are requiring each participant to take an antigen/rapid home test the morning the retreat begins, and bring the negative result with you as proof that you are arriving healthy at the retreat.
The antigen/rapid home test can be purchased for 30-35 nis at the kupot cholim.
What is the Nahsholim Hotel policy regarding COVID / corona precautions?
All guests must either provide (upon registration) an up-to-date Tav Yarok or arrive at the hotel for the start of the retreat with a negative PCR test taken 72 hrs. before the start of the retreat. (The test must be taken no earlier than Thursday afternoon Feb 24th from 13:00).
All guests are required to wear masks in the restaurant while taking food from the buffets, and can remove the masks only when seated for eating. If a guest needs to take more food from the buffet during the meal, masks must be put on again.
