If you do not show up on the day of your retreat we cannot provide any refunds.
We cannot refund any fees you have paid at booking including any service charges or absorb fees. This is because the cost of your ticket covers our running costs.

Insurance-
Most people don’t think about the need for insurance when travelling especially within the UK but the unexpected can always happen and if you need to cancel your visit to us you could lose your deposit or even the full cost of the retreat therefore it is strongly advised all our guests to arrange Personal Accident and Travel/Cancellation Insurance when booking onto one of our retreats and recommend you take time to research a company that suits your personally.
