Shared Lodging
A communal forest stay designed for connection.
Service Description
Embrace the communal spirit of the Hostel by sharing your sleeping space with one or more fellow retreat guests. Shared accommodations are intentionally simple, rustic, and immersed in nature. Depending on final lodging assignments, you may stay in a communal space with several retreat guests or share a smaller room or hut with a friend, partner, or fellow participant. Most communal spaces accommodate up to six guests, with a mix of twin and single beds depending on the space. Expect screened or open-air spaces, forest sounds, and the opportunity to unplug and experience the beauty of nature-based living. Even the larger shared spaces are smaller and more intimate than a traditional hostel-style dorm. Your retreat includes two nights of lodging, all retreat programming, breakfast and lunch, communal dinner provided by the Hostel, and full access to the property and retreat spaces. Shared lodging assignments will be thoughtfully coordinated based on availability and group size. If you’re attending with a friend or partner and would like to share a sleeping space together, you’ll be able to note that preference during registration. If you would like a sleeping space entirely to yourself, please select Private Lodging. Please note: Accommodations do not include heating or air conditioning. Many sleeping spaces require stairs or walking paths for access. Bathrooms and showers are located separately from sleeping spaces and require outdoor access. Composting toilets are used on the property and are accessed via a spiral staircase.


Cancellation Policy
A $50 nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve your space and is applied toward the total retreat cost. The remaining balance is due by October 1, 2026. Cancellations made before October 1 will receive a refund of payments made, minus the $50 nonrefundable deposit. Beginning October 1, all retreat payments are nonrefundable as accommodations, meals, supplies, and other retreat expenses will have been committed based on final attendance. Transfers: If you can no longer attend, you may request to transfer your reservation to another person prior to the retreat. Payments already made will transfer with the reservation and are not refunded. The new participant must complete all required registration forms and is responsible for any remaining balance. If The Collective Om must cancel the retreat, payments made directly to The Collective Om will be refunded. The Collective Om is not responsible for travel or other personal expenses.
