MEDICAL CONDITIONS & SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

The CLIENT must inform the COMPANY via email and on our registration form of any medical conditions, pregnancy, disability or any other mental and or physical condition which may affect fitness to travel, including medications you are currently taking.

It is vital that you are accurate with your fitness level and medical conditions for your own safety. The COMPANY will do its best to meet special requests including dietary or physical limitations, but such requests may not always be possible depending on the retreat, in which case the COMPANY reserves the right to refuse Clients with certain conditions.

 

The COMPANY will do its best to meet Client’s special requests including dietary, but such requests do not form part of the Contract and therefore the COMPANY is not liable for not providing these requests.

• Serious injury or illness of the client

In the case of a natural disaster, the COMPANY applies to the “act of god” rule and no fees will be reversed.

 

Due to the limited number of retreat spaces, as well as the customized design we provide for our retreats, a deposit is required at the time of booking to hold your retreat space. If you cancel your retreat 7 days in advance of the start date, you will be charged a cancelation fee of $250 plus none of the payments will be returned. *There is no refund for missed or forfeited retreats.

When a retreat is cancelled by the COMPANY up to 60 days before departure, due to low enrollment, the Client can either:

Transfer their payments (minus credit card fees or other fees applied) to another retreat taking place within one calendar year. If the Client is offered a refund but requests an alternate retreat of a higher value than that originally booked, then the Client must pay the difference in price.

Or

Receive full payment (minus credit card fees or other fees applied) back to the Client.
