 > Dear Yogis and Yoginis,
 > I am looking forward to our weekend retreat at Wilbur Hot Springs.
 > Located 5 miles down a dirt road and 20 miles from the nearest town,
 > Wilbur is an ideal setting to deepen our practice of yoga.
 > This letter includes a list of details for the weekend: schedule, directions,
 > 
 > what to bring and what to leave at home. Having two nights together will
 > give us a chance to take a break from our busy lives, soak in the mineral
 > springs and enjoy the sacred land. Many of you know I grew up at Wilbur
 > and it I think it is the perfect place for our retreat.
 > Please note: weather can be unpredictable. Plan on cool mornings so bring
 > layers and warm socks. The yoga deck is outside.
 > To make the most of your retreat, we recommend, if at all possible, leaving
 > the Bay Area by 12p or 1p.
 > Sending my best and I look forward to seeing you,
