The easiest way is to get a flight to Lisbon, Portugal (LIS). The retreat price includes the pick-up from the airport, so you don’t have to worry about organizing transport.
Additional activities and expenses at restaurants that are not part of the guided program, airfare, alcoholic beverages, and personal travel insurance are not included in the retreat package.
If cancelled up to three weeks prior to the retreat's beginning, we refund 100% excluding the booking and management fee of 150€. The booking and management fee can be used as a credit for another retreat, workshop or coaching at any time in the future. If cancelled up to two days before the retreat's beginning, we will unfortunately need to retain 50% of the overall retreat value, as expenses will have occurred. If cancelled less than two days before the retreat or if there is a no-show, we retain the full amount of the overall retreat value.
To reserve your spot, we kindly ask for a deposit of 50%. The other 50% is to be paid until two days prior to the retreat’s beginning. Please contact us for more detail on payment and cancellation policies.
