Restore to Rise

By registering for Restore to Rise, participants agree to honor the following policies.

Refund Policy:

All payments are non-refundable unless the retreat is canceled by the organizers. Because this is an intimate retreat with limited rooms, your registration reserves a specific spot, and we plan the weekend based on that commitment. There is a minimum number of participants required for the retreat to proceed; if that threshold isn’t met, all payments will be refunded.

Weather / Safety:
Retreat will proceed rain or shine. Rain will mean more time spent in our cozy indoor areas, and may shift the schedule of our beach excursion. In the unlikely event of weather safety concerns, we will communicate any adjustments promptly.

Code of Community:
Restore to Rise is a space rooted in safety, respect, and community. We ask that all participants honor the diversity of each other’s lived experiences and maintain confidentiality around the discussions, workshops, and group coaching experiences at the retreat.

Participants will be asked to pay 50% of the total cost at registration and will receive a payment link for the remaining balance, due by February 1, 2027.

Many employers support leadership development programs like Restore to Rise, and we encourage participants to explore funding through professional or leadership development funds or wellness stipends.

For entrepreneurs and arts industry professionals, grant funding can sometimes be acquired. We recommend exploring the Maryland State Arts Council Professional Development Grant, and any other professional development grants your industry supports.

If you need us to provide documentation to meet the requirements for employer provided or external funding - please reach out! We are here to help.

Will I have access to wifi?

Yes! But we encourage you to leave work at home and carve out the space to be fully present for the experience.

What’s included in the retreat fee?
Your retreat registration fee covers everything from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. That includes two nights of lodging at The Inn on Turville Creek, all meals and snacks (including our private chef prepared Saturday dinner and Sunday brunch), coffee, tea, alcoholic drinks, and sparkling water, workshop content and materials, individualized coaching support throughout the weekend, use of the property’s docks and common spaces, and transportation to and from Assateague Island for our sunrise session. Gratuity for the hotel, drivers, and chef are also included in your fee. 

What is your refund policy?
All payments are non-refundable unless the retreat is canceled by the organizers. Because this is an intimate retreat with limited rooms, your registration reserves a specific spot, and we plan the weekend based on that commitment. There is a minimum number of participants required for the retreat to proceed; if that threshold isn’t met, all payments will be refunded.

Do you offer a payment plan?

The payment is split in two parts. 50% is required at registration, and participants will receive a payment link for the remaining payment - due by February 1, 2027. All payments are non-refundable.

This sounds perfect for me, but finances are tight. What can I do?
We encourage you to explore professional development funds, leadership training budgets, or wellness stipends to cover the retreat cost.

Some workplaces reimburse continuing education or coaching, and we are happy to provide appropriate documentation as needed. 

To make the retreat more accessible, we offer a range of room options. Shared rooms will likely fill quickly, so if that option makes the retreat possible for you, registering early is your best bet.

This weekend is an investment in your clarity, confidence, and wellbeing. If you want to talk through room types, payment plans, or funding options, reach out. We’re here to help you find the option that fits.

How do I get there?
The Inn on Turville Creek is in Berlin, Maryland, which is under 150 miles from Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; and Philadelphia, PA.  Free onsite parking is available for all retreat participants.

The closest airport is Salisbury Regional Airport (SBY), about 30 minutes from the venue, with Uber and local car services available for pickup. 

Guests flying into BWI or PHL can take airport shuttles to the Eastern Shore or rent a car for the final stretch. GPS directions are accurate, and the property is clearly marked. 

Will you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes! During the registration process, you’ll be asked to share any dietary needs in advance. Our private chef will prepare meals that honor allergies and dietary restrictions. If you have any concerns, please reach out! 

What if I have mobility or accessibility needs?
We want every guest to feel comfortable and supported. If you have accessibility considerations, please reach out before registering so we can confirm the room location, bathroom setup, and property access will meet your needs.

What will the schedule be like?
The weekend blends guided workshops, meaningful reflection, structured coaching, time outdoors, and spacious downtime. The full retreat itinerary will be shared with registered participants so you know exactly what to expect.

Will I have free time?
Yes, you’ll have intentional periods of rest and reflection incorporated into the schedule. This is not a nonstop agenda; it’s a carefully designed mix of depth, pause, and connection.

Do I need to bring anything special?
The retreat dress is comfortable and casual. Bring warm clothes, including layers for the beach. We recommend bringing a journal and shoes suitable for the beach sunrise experience at Assateague Island. 

Can I arrive late or leave early?
We strongly encourage everyone to attend the full retreat to honor the experience we’re building together. Early departures or late arrivals can disrupt the experience for the group, so if possible, please plan to be present for the full weekend unless there is an unavoidable conflict.

Will alcohol be served?
Yes. Wine and beer will be available in the main kitchen, and optional alcoholic beverages will be served with curated meals. There will be ample non-alcoholic drink selections as well to meet the needs and preferences of every guest. For any guests that choose to consume alcohol, we ask that you enjoy it responsibly.
