Clothing
In terms of day-to-day apparel, comfortable and casual clothing and footwear is appropriate throughout your time here. You will have no need for formal attire or even business casual attire during the days of the retreat, although you may certainly dress as formally as you like! Weather on the coast is always variable, no matter the season of the year. We recommend bringing layers for both warm days and cool evenings.
Other items that might be helpful or convenient:
Art supplies, jigsaw puzzles, and yoga mats are available for general recreational use. Gonzaga EPRH maintains a small general-use library that contains primarily spiritual, scriptural, and theological texts, several magazines/journals, and the daily newspaper.
We are a short drive, and a healthy walk, from a local market and pharmacy, should the need arise to make purchases during the retreat.
