Do I need to be religious to do a monastery retreat?

How long should a monastery retreat last?
For a first visit, 3–5 days is recommended to truly absorb the monastic rhythm. However, there are also weekend options for a short retreat or longer stays of one to several weeks for a deeper experience.
What should I pack for a monastery retreat?
