Depending on the number of participants and whether we have met the minimum amount will determine whether a cancellation refund can be given. We recommend that you make sure this is something you want to do before committing the money. As we have based the entire retreat off of a certain number of participants, any changes in that as we get closer to the retreat could potentially risk the retreat for the rest of the participants. For special circumstances, we will try to acommodate you as best as we can.
