Aio Wira is a Charitable Trust run by volunteers. Prices are kept to a minimum to allow access for
all communities to use as well as pay for the upkeep of the Centre.
Donations over and above our costings of any amount are greatly appreciated.

Advertising your retreat

Although the details of all seminars taking place at Aio Wira are placed on our web site, this is
simply intended to give visitors an indication of what is taking place at Aio Wira.
However, it may well lead to people booking your seminar.
The responsibility for all retreat/seminar advertising and ensuring that there are sufficient
participants to make a seminar successful remains the sole responsibility of the seminar organisers.
We are happy to share any Facebook posts you have to reach a wider audience.

Wi-fi and Mobile Phones
Please be aware that the Centre is not in mobile phone range and Wi-Fi is available for
facilitators only if they need it.
Most retreat facilitators do not wish their participants to have Internet connectivity as it detracts
from the retreat they are on, but it is up to the facilitator.
Family/friends can call the Centre if they need to reach anyone in case of emergencies. Please
make sure you share Aio Wira’s contact details with your participants before they come.
