Cancellation Policy
Cancellations can cause a bit of an issue in that they keep others who want a spot at an event from being able to attend. Moreover, there are fees I'm absorbing from my website provider for each monetary transaction--so I lose $ with every sale and again for every refund. That said, if wanting a refund for a cancellation, notification of the cancellation must occur one week prior to the event in order for enough time to allow for another person to take your reserved spot. There will also be a non-refundable $4 fee to cover fees the website provider takes from me for every sale and yet again for every refund. Cancellation and refunds for events held through retreat centers and other entities are subject to their own refund policies.
