TERMS AND PAYMENTS
A deposit of 50% of the retreat fee is required when you register. This payment secures your place in the workshop.
The balance will be payable by March 15th, 2026. Invoices for the balance will be sent out in early February, 2026. The balance can be paid by credit card, wire transfer, e-transfer (Canadians only) or through PayPal.
PAYMENTS
After payment is received, you’ll be sent a receipt via email. This may take up to 24 hours, so do expect a possible delay in receiving this confirmation and receipt.
REFUND POLICY
If you need to cancel 91 days or more prior to the start of the trip, you’ll receive a partial refund of 75% of the full fee.
If you need to cancel 90 days or less prior to the start of the trip, there will be no refund unless your space can be filled.
In both cases, I will do everything possible to help find someone to take your space, or you may know someone who would like to come in your place. If this is possible, I will be happy to refund your fee, less $1200 CAD and any fees associated with the refund, OR move your full registration to the next available workshop.
Please note that if a replacement cannot be secured, the refund fees as laid out above apply. I cannot guarantee that a replacement will be found, but will do my best to find one for you.
If you are unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible. There are many booking and commitments that have been made to make the retreat all come together, with bookings paid for in advance. This is why I must withhold a portion of the fees, upon your cancellation, especially if your space can’t be filled on short notice.
If the organizer cancels the tour then full refunds will be made.
It is strongly suggested that you take out travel insurance (health and cancellation insurance) to cover your airfare and retreat fees in case you are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances.
TRAVELLER RESPONSIBILITY
All travellers assume the responsibility to ensure the retreat is appropriate to their physical abilities and interests. Travellers are responsible for being in sufficiently good health to undertake their trip; for obtaining the appropriate medical and cancellation insurance; for studying all pre-departure information; and for acting in a manner considerate of fellow travellers and the countries visited. Travellers assume full responsibility for all risks, including (but not limited to) any loss, injury, death or damage to them, their family or their dependents arising in connection with their participation, or the participation of their family, in the trips, and for ensuring that they have adequate insurance coverage to cover any loss.
Once the trip begins, we will do everything possible to ensure your enjoyment, and we rely on you to tell us if something is not working for you. We look forward to a successful retreat together, and we hope that you sit back, relax and get ready for a lovely experience.
