At Celebrate Your Life! we do everything in our power to ensure no one comes to our retreats or events feeling alone. When you register for a retreat, you will receive an invitation to join a private Facebook group specific to the retreat or event you are attending. Over the past 24 years,  we continue to hear the same feedback: our events feel like home, like family, because of our connected and engaged soul tribe community. Our community gives you a sense of belonging from true soul connections made before you even attend one of our events.

When you register for an event, you will receive an invitation to join a private Facebook group for the specific event. In this group, you can post a request to find a roommate or to carpool with others who are attending. This is also a great way to get to know each other and build connections prior to attending the event.

At our events and retreats we do not separate out days, speakers or workshops for sale separately.

At CYL we have created a book store where you will be able to browse the latest releases by our presenting author’s as well as some favorite titles and items. The authors will have a book signing after their presentation.

We recommend that you dress comfortably. You will be sitting, standing, meditating, moving and want to feel good. The spaces are climate controlled. While we do our best to ensure that it is not too cold or too warm, we do know that everyone is different. Therefore, we suggest that you bring layers in case you get chilly or warm.

While we do arrange for a group rate at hotels, the payment for the hotel is handled separately by you. You will receive hotel information via email upon registration. We always recommend that you book your room as soon as you register for the event to avoid discounted rooms being sold out. You are also responsible for travel to and from the event/retreat destination. 

Portland International Airport is only 45 minutes from Skamania Lodge. We will provide the name of a shuttle service to all attendees that you can use to get to and from the airport.

You will not need transportation to participate in all aspects of the retreat. In addition, Portland International Airport is only 45 minutes from Skamania Lodge and we will provide the name of a shuttle service to all attendees that you can use to get to and from the airport. In the end the decision is yours.

Due to the extensive investment required to create these magical retreats, tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
