Cancellation Policy
Because of the intimate nature of this pilgrimage, lodging commitments, catering and tour guide services already booked months in advance, we sincerely regret that we cannot offer refunds.
Our cancellation policy is that all money paid is non-refundable. You may, however, transfer your reserved spot to another guest with written approval from the retreat leader(s). If we have to cancel due to what we perceive as conditions that would jeopardize the health and safety of our travelers, all money will be refunded or applied to a later journey.
Of course, we hope you won’t need to cancel, but if you must, please send written notification of your cancellation to katherinewitteman@me.com
We are so excited for you to join us for this extraordinary journey.
