Lodging FAQs
Can I bring children?
Only registered attendees and volunteers are allowed on campus. Anyone who is not a registered attendee or volunteer will not be allowed access to the campus.
What if my travel is delayed beyond check-in?
Please email us at bflodging@blossomfoundation.com and let us know about your new ETA
Is there wifi anywhere on campus?
There is no available wifi on campus. Cell phone range also tends to be spotty, especially around the lodge area. The lower parking lot gets a better range than most places on campus.
What happens if I need to leave early?
Please email us at bflodging@blossomfoundation.com or let the overall volunteer lead know and they can advise you of next steps.
What shall I do if I need medical assistance?
If it is a medical emergency please dial 911 first. Also call +1 (940) 456-0428 so someone on campus can help. You may need to go to the closest emergency room in Graham, TX (about a 20 minute drive) as we do not have medical facilities on campus.
I plan to check in one day before the retreat begins and check out one day after the retreat ends. Will I get meals for the entire duration of my stay?
During your stay all the meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) that fall within the check-in and checkout times will be provided at Sacred Grove. Please note that breakfast and lunch may not be provided on check-in day and lunch and dinner may not be provided during checkout day as this is outside the standard check-in and checkout hours. If the campus is open and meals are being prepared for volunteers and attendees, you’re welcome to have the meals. Please let a volunteer lead know so we have an accurate count.
Can I go to Graham after the retreat day ends to meet with other attendees/volunteers?
We do not allow re-entry to campus once the Sacred Grove campus closes for the day at 9:00 PM. This helps us maintain the decorum of a spiritual retreat on campus for all guests. It is also intended to help you with quiet introspection at the end of a retreat day spent on campus.
Can I access Babaji’s Grotto if I stay in the lodge?
The Grotto is only accessible during the hours announced during the retreat, regardless of your lodging arrangement.
Does staying in the lodge allow me to have a one on one session with Sri M?
Lodging does not include a personal session with Sri M. Each participant will have the opportunity to offer pranams and receive blessings from Sri M during the closing session of the retreat. Private one-on-one sessions with Sri M cannot be accommodated.
