First retreat — what should I bring?

Coming to the Atlas in October — first retreat ever. I keep starting and abandoning a packing list. I do not want to overthink this. What is actually essential, and what is just noise?

Essential: warm socks (the riad gets cold at night), a notebook, one comfortable thing you can practise in. Non-essential: the special yoga clothes, the matching set, anything that needs ironing.

Earplugs. The mountain is loud in a quiet way.

Thank you both — printing this list and ignoring my third one.
