This may include disclosing your information to third parties that help us deliver our services and our business partners.

We will handle all personal information we collect in accordance with our privacy policy and the applicable law. Our privacy policy explains:

In the event you are no longer able to attend your retreat we are happy to transfer your booking to another available retreat of the same value (or applicable difference paid) if provided with at least 90 days written notice prior to start of the retreat. Cancellation later than 90 days prior to travel will mean that the full cost of the trip is non-refundable and non-transferable. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance at the time of booking to cover any unforeseen cancellation.

We maintain cancellation lists for all sold out retreats and where possible will do our best to share your place with those on the waitlist. If we are able to replace your booking then you will be entitled to a full refund minus $150 payment processing fee.
