Payment Terms
Registration for a retreat becomes binding upon receipt of the registration fee.
- The fixed registration fee is €150 and must be paid within 7 days of booking confirmation.
Only upon payment of this registration fee is your spot at the retreat securely reserved – otherwise, it will be assigned to someone else.
The registration fee is non-refundable as it covers pre-retreat expenses such as space reservation, rent, staff, and preparation. - The remaining balance must be paid in cash on-site upon your arrival, unless otherwise agreed.
Payment methods: Bank transfer, PayPal, other options upon request.
By paying the registration fee, you agree to the terms and cancellation policy listed here.

- For cancellations made between 13 and 7 days before the retreat, 25% of the total amount will be refunded (excluding the registration fee).

Exceptional Cases
In justified exceptional cases (e.g., illness, force majeure), payments made may be credited toward another retreat date by individual agreement.
However, there is no legal entitlement to this.
