Animals On-Site

While we share in the love for our animal friends, please do not bring your pets. We cannot accommodate them on site. If you have a therapy dog, please contact YogaInfo@3HO.org to make arrangements for your animal. Please be aware that the policy for your animal includes your cleaning up after him so bring appropriate ‘doggie poop’ bags, as we do not provide these on-site. Your dog’s behavior will decide whether or not he can remain on site; barking, growling, and other behaviors that might make participants feel uncomfortable may result in containment or being asked to leave. If you have a therapy dog, you will have to tent; cabins are not available.

Environment

Please leave your environment cleaner than when you arrived. We ask that you “pack it in and pack it out” (if you brought it in, please take it with you when you leave). However, compost, recycle, and landfill containers are provided to serve you. More on Solstice ECO-3HO.

What to Bring and Not to Bring

Quiet Time

One of our top priorities is providing the opportunity for everyone to experience group Sadhana every morning in the Amrit Vela (the ambrosial hours between 3–7 am) so late night activities are limited. All music, evening activities, and the bazaar end by 10 pm, and lights out in the camp is at 11 pm.
