2026 RD Summit Resources

🪷 We invite you to arrive ready to settle into practice.

Water, coffee, tea, and light snacks will be provided throughout the day.

You may wish to bring a meditation cushion and/or yoga mat, a journal and pen, a reusable water bottle, and anything else that helps you feel secure, grounded and present.

To ensure this event is safe and accessible for everyone, we request your help maintaining a scent-free zone. Please do not wear perfumes, body sprays, or scented lotions.

We will be encouraging attendees to minimize digital distractions when possible, and to avoid photographing/recording other participants without permission.

🌦 Prepare for local weather conditions.

If you’re traveling to Charlotte from out of town: July is typically warm, humid, and sunny, with daytime temperatures often in the upper 80s to low 90s °F.

The event venue will be air-conditioned, so please be ready for temperature shifts as you go in and out.

The locals have encouraged us to pack lightweight, layerable clothing, comfortable shoes, and sunscreen.

Afternoon thunderstorms are also common, so a small umbrella or light rain jacket are also good things to have.

🥁 Be ready for community connection and fun!

On Saturday night of the Summit, we will invite the whole community to join in a drum circle! Bring your own instrument if you’d like, although there will also be some provided.

Most importantly, we invite you to bring an open heart, curiosity, and a spirit of Kindness in Action for yourself and others.

We can’t wait to welcome you!

With joy and gratitude,
The RDG Summit Committee
