Meals:
Our meals are vegetarian. We can meet special dietary needs and food allergies with advance notice. (Please contact the registrar with special food needs.Click Here to Send Email) If you have a special diet or medical requirements please bring along the items you need. Very important: due to bears, you may not leave any food or food wrappers in your car or sleeping area. There is no refrigerated space for personal foods, but limited larder space MAY be available upon request, space available. No meat, alcohol or drugs, please.

Wildlife:
Lama Foundation shares the mountain with bears, and other wildlife. In order to maintain a harmonious relationship with our animal kingdom friends (notably bears), we ask that you keep no items in your tent or in your car that will attract them, such as food, soap, incense, shaving gear, camera film or toothpaste. It is safest to keep your tent doors zipped at night to discourage the traveling skunk, etc. We will provide limited safe storage for items that attract wildlife.

Telephone use/Contact with the outside world while at Lama:
Your visit to the Lama Foundation will be greatly enhanced by taking care of your personal business before you come, thereby giving yourself an uninterrupted visit. Cell phones generally do not get a signal on the mountain. Lama’s telephone use is emergency only during retreats. Please bring a phone card for long distance calls.
