Cancellation

By booking you agree to our cancellation policy and the booking terms and conditions.

Our cancellation and refund policy for overnight retreats is as follows:

• Cancellation 6 weeks or more before the event: full refund minus a 10% admin and payment processing fee
• Cancellation less than 6 weeks before the event: deposit non-refundable (unless your place is booked by someone else, in which case a refund of your deposit minus a 10% admin and payment processing fee)
• Cancellation less than 4 weeks before the event: no refund (unless your place is booked by someone else, in which case a refund of any amount paid minus the deposit)

Full payments are due 4 weeks before the start of the retreat.

Due to the cancellation policies of our third-party venues, we are still required to pay the full amount for your accommodation and meals even if you cancel last minute. We also may be unable to fill your space at such short notice. We can therefore not offer a refund under these circumstances. This is why we strongly recommend adequate travel insurance, including cancellation insurance, to protect yourself against medical or other unforeseen emergencies that prevent you from attending.

Our Booking Swap policy (moving your booking to a future date) for overnight retreats is as follows:

• Request 6 weeks or more before the event: booking can be moved to a future date without problem
• Request less than 6 weeks before the event: we can move your booking only if your place is booked by someone else. If your place cannot be filled, the above cancellation and refund policy applies from the date which you notified us.

Mental Health & Wellbeing

Please read our health and safety information carefully.

While meditation, yoga and Buddhist psychology have been proven to be beneficial for mental health and wellbeing, our events are not presented as a treatment for serious mental health problems or addiction. Exploring the realm of the mind and emotions can be in itself an emotional experience and we always strive to create a safe, supportive environment for participants to embark on this exploration. However, for certain individuals experiencing psychological or emotional difficulties, this event may not be appropriate at this time. Read more.

Before booking, please read our full terms and conditions and contact us via [email protected] if you have any doubts.
