We will arrange a shuttle service from the airport to the retreat center if more than two participants require transportation. The cost of the shuttle will be shared among those who utilize it, and the final cost per person will be determined based on the total number of riders. We will inform you as early as possible of the shared cost once we have the final count of participants needing the shuttle service.
