Q: Are the costs of the Retreat refundable?
A: You may cancel at any time, but please note our cancellation policy:
Due to the nature of time-based and capacity commitments with the resort, ALL payments will be considered non-refundable, which includes the full and installment payments. Of course, the exception to this policy is if the Retreat is canceled.
If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to another person.
We understand that unexpected occurrences happen. Due to the possibility of any extenuating circumstances, we strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance to cover both your airfare and the Retreat cost.
Q: Do you recommend travel insurance?
A: Yes, we highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance. Unforeseen circumstances (death in the family, illness, etc.) can happen to anyone. Being unprepared will cause you to miss the Retreat, as well as lose your investment.
It is highly recommended that you purchase travel insurance from a reputable national insurer. Travel insurance offered by an airline does not apply to an entire trip but simply covers airfare. Many travel insurance firms are available (Allianz, etc.), so secure your trip after purchase by buying travel insurance, as our refund/cancellation policy will be enforced, no matter the circumstance. You can use the tools found on the following website and choose the best insurance for your needs: TravelInsurance.com.
