Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 28th 2024

Applicability of Terms & Conditions

All persons wishing to make a booking must have carefully read and understood the terms and conditions that follow. By making a booking with the retreat host, you accept on behalf of yourself and all those named on the booking, to be bound by these terms and conditions. A booking is accepted and becomes definite only from the date when the retreat host sends a confirmation email, and when you have completed the deposit payment.

Reservation Deposit

When you sign up for a retreat, we ask for a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total amount. Only once we have received your deposit, your reservation is officially confirmed. By transferring your deposit, you indicate that you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions on this page.

Payment of the remaining amount

The remaining amount is due no later than 6 weeks before the retreat starts. We will send you a reminder a week before the final payment date. If we do not receive your payment on time, we reserve the right to make your spot available to those on the waiting list.

Changes and cancellation policy

Cancellations are effective only when received in written form and have been responded to and acknowledged by us.

The reservation deposit is non-refundable.

Up to 6 weeks before the retreat:
You can choose to change your participation to another retreat within the same calendar year (according to availability). If you choose to cancel, the total amount (minus the deposit) will be refunded.

Within 6 weeks before the retreat:
Changes are no longer possible. No refunds will be given for cancellations.

Non-refundable payments

Due to non-recoverable payments that we must make in advance to organise the retreat, exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including (but not limited to) natural disasters, bad weather, acts of terrorism, illness, pandemics, health conditions, medical, personal, family or work emergencies. Failure to join a retreat, arrival after the commencement of a retreat, or leave prior to its completion are ineligible for refunds.

Discounts & Promo Codes

Promo Codes for retreat bookings are limited in time. Once they have expired they are no longer applicable. Discounts and Promo Codes are non cumulative: you cannot apply more than one promo code per retreat booking and you cannot combine a promo code with another discount.

In case a retreat is canceled

If we must cancel a retreat, we will notify you as soon as possible and you can request a full refund (including the deposit) or you may transfer your payment to another retreat within the same calendar year. We are not responsible for your expenses incurred in preparation for the retreat, such as airline tickets, loss of work, visa fees and/or other costs associated with your trip.
