A: Absolutely! No prior experience with yoga, meditation, or sound healing is required. Letizia and our team will guide you every step of the way. This retreat is designed for anyone seeking transformation, regardless of experience level. Whether you're new to wellness practices or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find the right level of support and challenge.

A: We limit the retreat to a maximum of 20 guests to ensure an intimate, personalized experience. This allows Letizia to give individual attention during sessions and creates space for deep, meaningful connections among participants. You won't be lost in a crowd—you'll be part of a carefully curated community.

A: Typically, our guests range from early 30s to late 60s, though we welcome anyone 18+ who feels called to this experience. What matters most is your openness and intention, not your age. We've found that the diversity of ages and backgrounds enriches the retreat experience for everyone.

A: Moderate. You'll be walking through Petra (bring comfortable shoes!), doing gentle yoga, and participating in jeep tours. If you can walk for 2-3 hours with breaks, you'll be fine. The retreat is designed to be accessible, not physically demanding. If you have any physical limitations or concerns, please let us know during registration and we'll accommodate you.

A: We'll send you a detailed packing list upon registration. Essentials include:

• Comfortable walking shoes for Petra

• Layers for cool desert evenings (temperatures can drop)

• Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)

• Modest clothing for cultural sites (shoulders and knees covered)

• Light, breathable fabrics for daytime

• Swimsuit for the Dead Sea

• An open heart and curious mind

A: Yes! Jordan is one of the safest countries in the Middle East and is widely regarded as stable and welcoming to tourists. The Jordanian government prioritizes tourism safety, and millions of visitors travel to Jordan safely each year. Our team has extensive experience in the region, and your safety is our top priority. We work with trusted local partners and guides throughout the journey.

A: Perfect! Many of our guests travel solo and end up forming lifelong friendships. Choose single occupancy if you want private space for reflection, or shared occupancy if you're comfortable rooming with another solo traveler (we'll match you thoughtfully based on preferences). Solo travelers often report that the intimate group size makes it easy to connect and feel supported.

A: Full details will be provided upon registration. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers cancellations for any reason. Our deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to a future Destination Deluxe retreat within 12 months, subject to availability.

A: Fly into Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman. We'll arrange your airport transfer on arrival day (March 30) and departure day (April 4)—this is included in the price. Most major airlines serve Amman, including direct flights from major European and Middle Eastern hubs. Many nationalities can get a visa on arrival.

A: Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport for approximately 40 JOD (about US$56). We recommend checking current visa requirements for your nationality on the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or with your local embassy. We'll provide detailed visa information in your pre-retreat documentation.

A: Absolutely! Many guests add extra days in Amman or visit other sites like Jerash (Roman ruins) or Aqaba (Red Sea diving). We can help arrange extensions through our travel partners. Just let us know during registration if you're interested.

A: No problem! Jordan offers excellent vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Traditional Jordanian cuisine is very mezze-based with many plant-based dishes. Please inform us of any dietary needs, allergies, or restrictions during registration, and we'll ensure all meals accommodate you. Our hotels are experienced with international dietary requirements.

A: This is a wellness retreat, not a religious experience. While we honor the ancient spiritual traditions of the land and incorporate sound healing (which has roots in many ancient practices), the retreat is open to people of all beliefs and backgrounds. You don't need to subscribe to any particular philosophy—just come with an open mind.

A: Yes! While the itinerary is rich with experiences, we've built in free time for personal reflection, journaling, spa treatments, additional rest, or exploring on your own. We believe transformation happens in both the structured experiences and the quiet moments in between.

A: Perfect! Expect pleasant temperatures: 18-25°C (64-77°F) during the day, cooler in the evenings, especially in the desert (10-15°C / 50-59°F at night). This is ideal for outdoor activities without the intense summer heat. Wadi Rum can be chilly at night, but the bubble hotel is equipped with heating and warm bedding.

A: Yes! Shared occupancy is perfect for friends, partners, or family members traveling together. You'll share a room and save on cost while experiencing the journey side by side. Many couples and friends have joined our retreats and found it deepens their relationship.

A: The Jordanian Dinar (JOD). ATMs are widely available in Amman, Petra, and the Dead Sea area. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and many restaurants. We recommend bringing some cash (US dollars or Euros can be exchanged) for tips, small purchases at markets, and personal expenses. A typical tip budget is US$50-100 for the entire retreat.

A: Yes, at all hotels (Ritz-Carlton Amman, Kempinski Dead Sea, Petra Marriott). However, we encourage you to disconnect as much as possible and be fully present. The bubble hotel in Wadi Rum has limited connectivity—embrace it! This is a rare opportunity to truly unplug.

A: You'll experience multiple private sessions with Letizia Silvestri, including:

• Sunset sound bath floating in the Dead Sea

• Private sound bath inside Petra's Treasury (before tourists arrive)

• Crystal singing bowls, gongs, and therapeutic frequencies

• Guided meditation and breathwork

• Sessions designed to release stored tension and quiet the mind

No experience is necessary—just bring your openness.

A: That depends on your booking choice:

• Single occupancy (US$4,750): You'll have a private room throughout the entire journey

• Shared occupancy (US$3,750): You'll share a room with one other person (either someone you're traveling with, or we'll match you with another solo traveler)

Both options include the same luxury accommodations and experiences.

A: This isn't a tour—it's a transformation. Key differences:

• Intimate group: Only 20 guests (most tours have 30-50+)

• Sound healing focus: Multiple private sessions with renowned healer Letizia Silvestri

• Luxury accommodations: 5-star hotels + bubble hotel (not budget hostels)

• Exclusive experiences: Private Treasury sound bath, sunset Dead Sea session

• Curated community: Like-minded wellness seekers, not random tourists

Personalized attention: Small group allows for individual care and deep connections

A: While not technically required, we strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers:

• Travel delays
