Frequently Asked Questions- FAQ’s

Thing to See While Visiting Connecticut

The Connecticut Shoreline has much flavor to offer both in it’s rich coastal community and many ethnic flavors of delicacy from pizza, seafood to fine dinning.

Connecticut is best known for its historical love for pizza. We hold the USA record for “Best Pizza Places” within the top ten spots, three of which are in the City of New Haven “Wooster Street” you will find a small pizzeria called Frank Pepe’s Pizza which is famous world wide for his wood oven stove pies. My personal favorite is “BAR” on Crown Street in New Haven which is famous for their oak fired wood oven stove, thin crust pizza. Sally’s Apizza is also on Wooster Street.

New Haven is rich in “YALE” history with it’s sprawling campus designed in stone masonry structures with many museums and cultural distinguishment. Many eateries can be found surrounding the blocks of old brownstone buildings and factories that supported YALE, all within a few blocks of walking.

Mystic Connecticut holds a rich history in Maritime, being one of the busiest ports during the birth of the America’s with many museums and shops and attractions. The nearby town of Stonington, CT also has many artisan shops and eateries along the waters edge. If you travel a bit northeast, you can visit two of the largest Casino’s of a Las Vegas size here run by the local tribal nations of the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot Indians. they are called “Foxwoods Casino and Resort” and “Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort.” Both venues offer many shows and entertainment acts of all sorts.

Pets…

Oh how I love our furry and feathered friends, but this retreat is for you only. There are no pets or support animals allowed at the retreat center.

What is not included?

Any personal, medical or trip insurance. Your travel arrangements to and from the retreat facility.

Workshops and Evening Events…

Your workshop may or may not be outside, weather depending. We do ask that you bring appropriate clothing for hot weather, including sun screen and for the evenings that might be cooler on the shore with a breeze. Evening Events will be outside unless there is sustainable rain.

Our enrollment design has a limited number of guest participants, so we urge you to purchase your Event Pass early as possible .

Can I bring my spouse, partner, or child..?

The minimum guest participant age is limited to 18 years of age by July 14, 2024. A special consideration will be made for exceptions by the Host Administrator on a case by case basis, inclusive a video conference to determine under 18 age participant eligibility and maturity. We welcome your spouse or partner if they have purchased an Event Pass. Due to the limited number of available Event Passes, we ask you to book early if you so wish to both attend. We cannot accommodate more than our set amount. We will make arrangements in lodging if you wish to room with your spouse or partner. Some folks wish to keep separate to enhance their experience and meet with new people.

Information Technology…

We do our best to keep your information safe! We have no interest in keeping or selling anything that belongs to you. From time to time we wish to send you an email in regards to upcoming events and services that we offer.

Do I need to bring anything special?

We recommend that you bring clothes that fit the temperature and ever changing weather that happens on an East Coast Beach. July is an increasingly hot month in CT, normally in the mid to upper 80’s and getting into the 90’s. The evening can cool when the sun drops below the horizon, yet linger around 65-75 degrees. New England weather changes in the blink of an eye, so we do recommend that you bring a sweatshirt just in case. Don’t forget sun screen if you have a tendency to burn. Summer sun is reflective off the water an you can quickly turn red. A beach towel is also recommended in case we would like to sit in the sand and enjoy the sound of the surf.

Please bring earbuds/headphones for a possible experience.

Other Travel Options to Madison Connecticut…

Trains run from NYC into New Haven Connecticut and so does AmTrak to final destination of Madison. (multiple train rides)

GRAND CENTRAL STATION, NYC 89East 42nd Street at Park Avenue

A train from Grand Central Station in New York City will bring you to New Haven Connecticut. It is called “MTA-Metro North Railroad” New Haven Line.

The Train Station in Madison Connecticut is called the “CT Rail Shoreline East.” the address is 77 Bradley Road, Madison, CT 06443

The ride from the Madison Train Station to the Retreat Facility is five minutes.

By Car… I-95 is the main highway that runs through Connecticut and intersects in Madison, CT. During the summer weekends, many folks visit our beaches and travel north on I-95 to Rhode Island and Massachusetts. With that being said, the highway becomes a parking lot quickly and lasts for hours. Please be mindful of these potential delays in your travel plans.

Do I have to attend all the events listed in the schedule?

There are no mandatory restrictions or requirements. If you decide to disembark from the facility we ask that you kindly notify the Host, Glenn Mate of the day and time you wish to leave. You many not leave and come back once you have left the property. It is our responsibility to maintain accountability of all guest participants.

We have added some early morning meditations before breakfast for your benefit. However, we do understand that you may have come from a different time zone, and that this may not be feasible as our nights are fairly late as well.

Please contact the Host Glenn Mate with any unusual circumstances.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, Please read…

Participant Release of Liability

We dislike the legal stuff as it detracts from the intention of “oneness.” However, we must do what is mainstream to allow the staff to continue to create and provide ongoing services of enlightenment for future events. Each guest participant will be required to sign a participant waiver without exception. We do have our events that bring us outdoors beyond the sidewalks and these experiences require each guest participant to sign a Liability Waiver prior to your arrival at the retreat center facility. There are no exceptions, we do have the right to refuse those who are non compliant without refund. Please click the blue button “Liability Waiver” and email or bring with you.

Can I have a Private Session with one of the presenters while I am here at the retreat?

As much as we would love to accommodate your requests, this is why we keep a very low enrollment. This way you get an experience that is more intimate, and there might be a specific message just for you, but that is not guaranteed. If you wish to set an appointment with one of our presenters, you may do so by clicking on the picture of their image on this website and it will take you to their direct link home website. We urge you to further your quest for knowledge with each of our presenters.

Mind enhancing or altering Substances…

At this retreat we will not be utilizing any mind enhancing, mind altering or alternative plant medicine substances including the consumption of alcohol or marijuana. If it does not have your name on a prescription for medical purposes only, we will ask you to leave the retreat with no refund. This is a consciousness expansion experience based in love and heart centered information. Anything less will not be accepted.

Is there Internet Access?

Yes, there is internet access. However, you are on a beach which may have interruptions and areas where you may not have a good connection depending on your service provider, and or weather related issues.

What are my options for air travel?

Connecticut has one main airport in Harford. It is 52 miles from Hartford, Bradley International Airport (BDL) to Madison, CT. That is approximately one hours travel time. There is one municipal airport in New Haven (HVN) that does has commercial passenger flights. This airport is 17 miles and 25 minutes travel to Madison.

There are three New York Airports that are worth mentioning. John F. Kennedy (JFK) and LaGuardia (LGA) that are both in New York City. These two airports do have connecting flights into Connecticut. The travel time by car from a NYC Airport to Madison, CT can be up to two and one half hours of heavy traffic despite any set time of travel. It’s just always busy. Westchester (HPN) is a smaller New York airport but boarders Connecticut and is roughly one hour and twenty minutes.

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is North of Connecticut and is roughly a two hour, twenty minute drive to Madison CT.

Can I take Photos and Videos during the presentations, Fire Ceremony and CE5 Experience?

I would like to lovingly remind that memories are held within the heart. Presenting, Light Language and Channeling all take energy, focus and love. We ask you to please refrain from taking any photos or videos during any event, presentation or Light Language and Channelings. We are currently working with professional videographers and photographers to capture your experience during this event. We will make these images and video streams available to you the guest participant at no charge and post them on this website for your exclusive pleasure to view. Photography by you, the participant, during the CE5 experience will not allow you to be fully present in the necessary high vibratory state to have an interaction of any kind with a being of higher vibration. Please do not distract from those who wish to sustain an elevated experience.

What Options are there for food during the event?

All meals are included in your event pass for the duration of the retreat. These are delicious healthy meals to assist you in keeping your vibratory frequency at its best. There is absolutely no alcohol permitted on the premises during this retreat. If you require special dietary needs or have any types of food allergies, we ask you to please inform us prior to your stay so we can accommodate your needs.

Using Technology Devices “aka your phone.”

Walking meditations: We may utilize your personal phone by providing to you an audio file to participate in a walking meditation. This is still under evaluation and may or may not be implemented into our program. We do wish that you bring earbuds/headphones in case we can provide you access to these audio files, we are at the mercy of internet service by the ocean which is a variable we cannot determine yet.

Secondly… we would like for you to consider leaving your phone in your rooms during the retreat event. There will be time for photographs with our presenters and your new family of friends. We will also compile a library of photo images taken by our staff during the retreat. One cannot be fully present in the moment when your phone is ringing or vibrating in your pocket or on the floor. Please remember that this also is a disturbance to the presenters and other guests. Kindness, consideration and focus are what we are asking of you during the retreat.

Can I stay at another location other than the retreat center facility and still partake in all the experiences?

An immersive experience is just that, being immersed in the frequency of those who are creating the vibration specifically for you. If you are not with us for the entire experience you will be missing what we are creating. At this point, we will not accept outside lodging because of the specific design and intention of this immersive retreat.
