Cancellation –
If WE cancel the retreat (although that is not our intention to do!), we will refund your money.
If YOU cancel between 1-2 months before the retreat, half of your fee (minus the deposit) will be refunded. No refunds will be given with less than a month notice given. If you wish to find a replacement attendee to take your spot, we are happy for you to do that. Financial arrangements are between you and the other person. **Refunds are also minus the Square Administration fee.** Please see the outlined Cancellation Policy on the next page.
To Guarantee Your Spot – Your spot is secure once your non-refundable deposit is received.
Retreat Payments – You may choose to make one lump sum to pay your retreat fee, or pay on our payment plan schedule. Payment plans will be due on the 15th of each month. We are sorry, but we must stick to the same payment plan for everyone. It is too difficult to keep track of numerous different payment schedules.
No Show – Please refer to cancellation policy. For those who find themselves unable to attend due to extenuating circumstances (after the cancellation deadline), will receive all the regular handouts that the attendees receive. If there is an attendee who is present and can take them to you, please arrange for that. If not, it will be your responsibility to make arrangements for pick up within 1 month after the retreat. If you would like the items shipped to you, you will be responsible for the exact shipping costs.
Accommodations – this is a “Sleep at Home” retreat…therefore, each night you will go home to sleep. For those who are from outside of Victoria, please arrange your own accommodations.
On-site Store – We will bring our mobile store to the retreat. If you have special product requests, please contact Stacey well in advance. Payment for purchases can be made by MasterCard, VISA, Debit tap or chip, as well as cash. E-transfer can also be arranged.
