Airport Transportation

Unity Village is about 45 minutes from the Kansas City International Airport. You can rent a car, take a cab or Uber, or use our favorite car service BATS. Make a reservation ahead of time, and they'll be at the airport when you arrive. They'll get flight information and adjust if there are delays. And if someone else is going to or from the Retreat they'll offer to let you share the ride - and the fare!

Let us know if you’d like to be included in the reservation.

Activities

There’s lots to do at Unity Village, so bring a yoga mat for morning yoga, your workout clothes for the Fitness Center, or your walking shoes to hike the nature trail.

Rainbow Bridge

Unity Village has a newly-constructed memorial spot for animal companions that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Details about it are on the Unity Village website. ANTN will have a ceremony where you can leave ashes or a memento.

Donate an item to the Auction!

We will once again hold a silent auction AND a live auction during the Thursday evening banquet celebration.

Fill out the donation form and submit it ahead of time so the team can keep things organized, then bring it along on your journey to Unity Village. You can also ship your donation item ahead, if desired.

The auction will also be live on Zoom, so people who are not on site can also bid and win.
