How do I get to Compton Dundon without a car?

The centre has a Getting Here page for both the main site and Little Earth, which is the place to check directions and transport options. The village is rural, so work out your arrival plan before you travel. Ask the centre if you want to know about lifts or shared travel.

What will the retreat actually involve day to day?

The material available here doesn't give a detailed schedule for Gita Nicola Schneider's Path of Aliveness, so I can't promise specific practices. It is billed as a shamanic retreat, so expect a ceremonial, nature-based approach rather than a lecture-style workshop. Read the full event description or ask the organiser for the programme.

What will the retreat cost, and is accommodation extra?

The centre publishes a Price Guide for its accommodation, but the retreat fee is set by the event. The listing doesn't say whether the ticket includes lodging and food. Confirm exactly what is covered at booking so you know your total cost.
