To reserve your place, a deposit is required. The deposit amount and payment schedule will be outlined on the applicable retreat booking page.
Unless otherwise stated:

If you cancel at least 75 days prior to the retreat start date, payments made may, at our discretion, be converted into a credit valid for 12 months from the original retreat start date.
If cancellation occurs less than 75 days prior to the retreat start date, only the deposit may be applied toward another retreat, subject to availability and our written approval.
If you leave a retreat early for any reason, no refund or credit will be issued.
