Questions you may have:

• What is Hygge?
  • Hygge is a Danish lifestyle concept that promotes comfort, warmth, and light. It can be summed up as a "coziness of the soul." While you can Hygge at any time of year, it is especially connected with fall and winter. Rather than resisting winter, Hygge invites us to lean into it through comfortable clothing, soft lighting, warm foods, and connecting with your friends or yourself.
• Can I rent skiis, snowshoes or a fat tire bike? We work with Rivers Edge Outfitters, www.riversedgemw.com
• What type of food will we be eating?
  • Conscious homemade comfort food! We love to source as local as possible. We ask everyone before making the menu about their preferences, allergies, etc.

• I have some more personal questions/concerns, how can I get in touch with you?
  • E-mail us at rusticrootsretreats@gmail.com
•  What happens if I sign up and can't make it anymore?
  • If you cancel 30 days prior, you will receive a full refund.  After 30 days, if you are unable to make it to the retreat, you can transfer your spot to a friend or loved one. If it is last minute that you cannot make it, 50% of your payment will be turned into credit to use with us at a later date.
• Can I bring alcohol to this event?
  • Every event is different.  We will be offering wine tasting at dinner.  You may bring a beverage of your choice to relax with.
