Welcome Packages
When participants first arrive at The Haven Retreat, a welcome package is waiting for them on their beds. We can always use the following items to include in these packages to help our participants feel welcome, comfortable, and safe.
- Journals
When selecting a journal, please avoid composition and spiral-bound notebooks. Also, because our participants come from many backgrounds, avoid journals with religious messaging. - Fleece blankets
- Warm socks
- Yoga socks
These are socks that have grippy material on the bottom.
