Mana Yí Crete Retreat

24 october - 2 november, 2025

𓂞 What to Bring 𓂞

- comfortable shoes for casual walking & also hiking

- comfortable clothing with light layers. days will be in upper 70’sº F & mostly sunny. evenings are cooler. we intend for sun and warmth, but a rain cloud cluster could bring some chilly/rainy days. a cozy long sleeved outfit is definitely recommended, along with a shawl for ceremonies.

- a long, floor length skirt. we’re happy to lend you one if you don’t have

- swimsuit for the river, beach

- plug converter! the plugs in Europe are different. they’re cheap online or (maybe) even at the airport

- JOURNAL. a blank one or a used one with plenty of space in it

- cash to exchange to euros upon arrival for desired spending. most shops take cards (so let your card company know you’ll be traveling & not to restrict your card)

- reusable water bottle

- photos for our beloveds altar
