Travel insurance is required to attend the retreat that covers the cost of the retreat. You are responsible for purchasing your own travel insurance policy for the retreat, all corresponding travel expenses, and medical care abroad. If you cancel due to unforeseen illness or personal or family emergency before or during the retreat (including COVID 19, pregnancy, surgery or injury), miss part of the retreat due to travel delays, lose luggage or have a delayed luggage, or require medical care abroad, we cannot reimburse you, however your personal travel insurance policy typically can.

We have partnered with Square Mouth Travel Insurance to offer comparable market rates. Visit HERE to purchase insurance that covers the cost of your retreat investment.

Please note many travel insurance companies require you to purchase a policy within 14-21 days of any initial deposit for the trip.
