Here are supplies you will need for the retreat weekends:

• Centering table with chalice, candle and matches (if desired, and allowed at the site) or an LED battery-operated chalice, a table cloth, and bouquet of fresh flowers
• Newsprint pads—the self-adhesive variety are the easiest to handle, though more expensive
• Water-based marking pens, preferably odorless, with broad tips
• Masking tape (or push pins if you are using a bulletin board)
• Ice water, iced tea, juice, coffee, and other refreshments
• A music player for the music (e.g., CDs) you plan to use
• Lined pads of paper and writing implements
• 3x5 self-adhesive note pads, one for each participant
• A journal to give each participant
• A copy of "Odyssey Writing: A Guide for Participants" (Chapter 3 of this resource) for each person. You may choose to put this in a small three-ring binder or a pocket folder.
