This will lead to instant dismissal and no refund will be given and you will be unable to attend any further or events at our retreat centre.

If the guest refuses a future retreat date due to events out of our control then no refund will be given as we will have fulfilled our agreement with you.
Please ensure that you take out travel insurance to cover you as this is not something we are responsible for.
If we as the course providers are unable provide the course at the specified times or at a later date for reasons other than those mentioned above we will undertake to refund you in full minus the deposit.
