Question 1

What exactly is a dopamine detox?

Accepted Answer

It’s about giving your brain a break from constant stimulation. During this dopamine retreat in Raleigh, we step away from the noise of screens, notifications, and endless scrolling so our minds can reset. We also help you remove other things from your life that steal your focus and joy.

Question 2

What’s the main goal of this retreat?

Accepted Answer

The goal is simple: to give you space to slow down, reflect, and remember what’s important to you. This isn’t about deprivation—it’s about rediscovery.

Question 3

How long does the detox last?

Accepted Answer

The detox lasts for 42  hours, but its effects can last far beyond that. Think of it as a reset button for your nervous system so you can attract more of the things you want, and make it easier to be gracious when work or life gets hectic.

Question 4

What makes this retreat different from other digital detox events?

Accepted Answer

This isn’t just a break from technology—it’s an intentional experience. We’ll use the time to journal, reflect, meditate, and realign with who you are without distractions. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more in tune with yourself.

Question 5

Who is this retreat best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who feels overstimulated, overwhelmed, or just “stuck” will benefit. If you’ve been craving clarity, peace, or simply time to breathe, this is for you.

Question 6

Will I have to give up my phone completely?

Accepted Answer

Yes—temporarily. You’ll turn in your devices when you arrive so you can fully disconnect. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but that’s part of the process. You’ll be amazed at how freeing it feels by the end.

Question 7

Can I use my phone for emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Your phone will be stored safely, and in the event of a true emergency, you can access it. Likewise, your loved ones will have a way to reach you if absolutely necessary.

Question 8

Is there Wi-Fi or any access to the internet?

Accepted Answer

No Wi-Fi will be available during the retreat. This is your time to step away from the online world and be fully present with yourself.

Question 9

What if I need to check in with family or work during the retreat?

Accepted Answer

This is your chance to set boundaries ahead of time. Let people know you’ll be unavailable for a short window. Most things can wait, and this time is sacred—you’ll thank yourself later.

Question 10

What will we be doing during the 42  hours of focus and contemplation?

Accepted Answer

We’ll mix periods of guided reflection, journaling, prayer, meditation, and silent contemplation. There’s also space for rest and quiet connection with nature and yourself.

Question 11

Are there guided sessions, or is it mostly self-directed?

Accepted Answer

It’s a blend. I’ll guide you through certain exercises and reflections, but you’ll also have time to be with your own thoughts. The balance is intentional.

Question 12

Will there be prayer, meditation, journaling, or other specific practices?

Accepted Answer

Yes—these are core parts of the retreat. You’ll be encouraged to write, breathe deeply, and tune into yourself in ways that feel natural to you.

Question 13

Do I need to bring anything special (books, journals, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

Bring a journal, a pen, comfortable clothes, and an open heart. If you want to bring a book, choose something meaningful—no screens, no distractions. If you forget to bring a journal, one will be provided.

Question 14

Are meals included, and what kind of food will be served?

Accepted Answer

You’ll enjoy nourishing, wholesome meals designed to support both your body and your focus during the detox.

Question 15

What should I pack for the retreat?

Accepted Answer

Pack comfortable clothing, your journal, toiletries, and anything that helps you feel at ease—maybe a blanket, a water bottle, or your favorite sweater.

Question 16

What if I feel anxious without my phone?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely normal. Many of us have become so tied to our devices that letting go feels scary. Trust the process. That discomfort is the first step toward real freedom.

Question 17

Is it normal to feel uncomfortable at first during a dopamine detox?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In fact, it’s part of the transformation. You may feel restless, bored, or even irritable at first. But as the hours pass, you’ll notice a shift—you’ll start to feel calmer, clearer, and more connected.

Question 18

Do you accommodate special needs for my diet or have allergies

Accepted Answer

I was a devout vegan for years, and my brother is allergic to nuts, so I can keep people safe while helping them stick to their dietary restrictions
