FAQ

What is the overall format of a Becoming Weekend?

We keep a loose schedule posted that covers our meditation sessions and shared meal times, giving us a beautiful balance of structure and plenty of breathing room throughout the weekend. Staying flexible is a huge part of how we operate, so we love to just adjust things as we go based on the overall flow and whatever the group needs in the moment. It's all about relaxing and flowing with the weekend together!

What types of meditations will we practice?

We practice meditations in seated, lying down, and walking formats.

What is the atmosphere like?

The atmosphere of our weekends is deeply grounded in love, gratitude, and respect, creating a beautiful space for each creator to show up fully and authentically. While meditation is our anchor, these retreats are a shared container for deep community connection. This is a place where surface-level small talk naturally fades away, making room for the heartfelt conversations, shared laughter, and vulnerable moments that blossom into friendships. For our circle, community isn't just a part of the weekend—it is the very heartbeat of why we gather.

Where do we stay and what are the sleeping arrangements?

Our retreats are held in beautiful, fully communal settings designed to bring us closer together as a community. Depending on the specific Becoming venue we are using, accommodations may include a mix of cozy beds, couches, air mattresses, and other shared sleeping setups. Because we treat the house as a collective home for the weekend, please note that all bathrooms—even those located inside a specific bedroom—are shared by the whole group. We so appreciate your community spirit and flexibility as we share this space together!

What is covered with registration?

We want you to be able to completely unpack, settle in, and focus on your practice. Your registration covers your entire stay, including:

Your Cozy Shared Space: A spot in our beautiful retreat home (including shared bathroom access).
Abundant Community Meals: All of our main meals, snacks, and drinks throughout the weekend—cooked and shared together.
All Sessions & Gatherings: Every guided meditation, community circle, and shared activity.

Basically, once you arrive, the essentials are fully covered! Because this is a true community experience, we all pitch in together to handle our own food prep, clean-up, and closing down the kitchen after meals. It’s a beautiful way to take care of the space and each other throughout the weekend.

How are meals handled?

If you have any specific questions about food or menus, Karen Mason is our wonderful food coordinator, so please feel free to reach out directly to her!

How do meals work during the weekend?
Meals are one of the most beautiful parts of our gatherings! We operate as a cooperative community, which means our food is a collaborative, potluck-style feast shared by everyone. Together, we create an incredible abundance of food, and eating together is where some of our favorite conversations and connections happen.

What size dish should I bring, and does it need to be pre-cooked?
We ask that everyone brings a prepared dish to share with the community in a serving size of about 8–10 people. Because home kitchens and refrigerator spaces can quickly become a tricky logistical puzzle with a group our size, it is incredibly helpful if your food is cooked and prepared in advance whenever possible so we just have to warm it up.

Can I bring extra food or snacks just in case?
You are more than welcome to bring your favorite personal snacks to enjoy! However, for our main group meals, we honestly have an absolute overabundance of food every single weekend. To keep the kitchen manageable and prevent food waste, please stick to bringing ONLY the specific meal items you have claimed and listed in our meals app.

Where do I sign up for my dishes?
You can coordinate everything through our meal tracking app. The link to sign up is located right inside the weekend space under "community meal signup."

What if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?
We want everyone to dine safely and comfortably! We will have tags and labels available right at the house so you can clearly mark your dishes for food restrictions (like GF for gluten-free, DF for dairy-free, etc.). When you look at the meal sign-up link, you will also be able to see what others are bringing to ensure there are plenty of options that work for your body.

That said, if you have strict dietary concerns or medical needs that are just unmanageable for a group to cook around, you are completely welcome to bring your own personal food to ensure you are fully taken care of!

Do I need to help with the kitchen chores?
Yes! Looking after the kitchen is a true community experience. We all team up to share the responsibility of food prep, cleaning up after our feasts, and closing down the kitchen at the end of the evening. Taking care of the space together is just another way we connect and look out for one another.

Is this Becoming Weekend affiliated with Dr. Joe Dispenza or his organization?

No. This is an independently organized group and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Dr. Joe Dispenza or his company.

What is the group size?

Our group size varies a little bit depending on which beautiful Becoming venue we are using, but our current gatherings typically range from 16 to 33 participants. We find that this is the perfect sweet spot—it’s large enough to bring an amazing, diverse energy to the space, but still intimate enough for everyone to share deep conversations and form real, genuine connections.

What if I need to cancel?

Please contact Denise Meza directly to discuss cancellation. Please review the refund policy listed on the Book Now page.

Is this weekend appropriate if I am navigating health or emotional challenges?

Many of our guests join us while moving through deep personal healing journeys, and we love supporting that path. If you need any special accommodations, please let us know so we can see how to best support you! Just a gentle heads-up: because our retreats are centered around community connection and use shared house layouts, we aren't able to guarantee completely private spaces. We will always do our absolute best to accommodate your requests whenever we can, though!
