TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICIES
PAYMENTS
We accept payment by Credit Card (MC/Visa), PayPal or bank transfer. Please contact
us at the healingbodymethod@gmail.com so we can send you the appropriate invoice
for your chosen payment method. Credit Card and PayPal payments incur an additional
4% processing fee. Any additional bank transaction charges, such as transfer or foreign
exchange fees, are your responsibility. Please be sure to identify your transfer with your
name, the date, and the retreat or training for which you are registering. Payments in installments for retreats and
trainings are accepted but must be requested. And a payment schedule will be created for your situation.
DEPOSIT PAYMENT
In order to secure your place in The Healing Body Method retreat or teacher training,
you are required to pay a $500 non-refundable deposit within
three business days after receiving confirmation of your acceptance to the retreat or
training. Our training and retreats are usually booked fast, and we cannot hold your spot without a
deposit. It is important that you confirm your spot with us before booking your
travel arrangements.
EARLY BIRD PRICING
To be eligible for the early-bird discount, your full balance payment is due 6 (six) months
prior to the event. If the balance is not paid by the early-bird deadline, regular pricing
applies.
FINAL PAYMENT
In all cases, full payment for the retreat or teacher training must be received no later
than 60 days before the start date to continue to hold your spot. In the case of any
bookings made after this date, payment must be made in full at the time of registration.
In the month leading up to the final payment date, you will receive multiple reminders to
complete your payment. If we do not receive your payment on time, you will forfeit your
deposit. There are no refunds or transfers of payments after the above deadline, due to
the fact that we are required to make venue payments that are no longer refundable
after this time.
TRAVEL CANCELLATION INSURANCE
It is your responsibility to read and understand our cancellation policy before making a
reservation. Naturally, no one books with the intention of canceling or postponing their
retreat or Teacher Training, but unexpected things do happen that can be beyond your
control. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel cancellation insurance
to cover any possible loss. Depending on the policy and conditions, travel
cancellation insurance will pay for some or all cancellation fees. With most agencies,
insurance must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation. We have had
good experiences with www.worldnomads.com, but do your own research before
choosing a travel insurance company.
POSTPONEMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY
If you have to cancel or postpone your registration with The Healing Body Method
retreat or teacher training, please inform us as soon as possible. The Healing Body
Method does not offer refunds. If you cancel or postpone your registration altogether up
to 60 days prior to the start date of your retreat or teacher training, you will forfeit your
$500 event deposit. The remaining balance may be used as credit for another event
within one year of the date of your confirmed cancellation. For last-minute cancellations
(less than 60 days prior to the start date of your retreat or training) any fees paid will be non-
refundable and non-transferable.
If The Healing Body Method must cancel or postpone a scheduled retreat or teacher
training date for any reason, we will notify you as soon as possible and you may transfer
your full payment to another retreat or training. Except in cases of Force Majeure (see
below), you may request a refund of your payments to us, constituting a full settlement
including your deposit. The Healing Body Method is not responsible for your expenses
incurred in preparation for any canceled or postponed retreat or training, such as airline
tickets, loss of work, visas fees and/or other costs associated with preparation for your
trip.
The Healing Body Method is excused from performance and shall not be liable for any
delay in performance or non-performance, in whole or in part, when certain
circumstances beyond our control arise, making performance inadvisable, commercially
impracticable, illegal, or impossible. These include but are not limited to work
stoppages, fires, civil disobedience, riots, rebellions, natural disasters, acts of God, acts
of war or terrorism, actions or decrees of governmental bodies, disease or medical
epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks, curtailment of transportation facilities preventing or
delaying attendance by at least twenty-five percent of event participants, and similar
occurrences. If The Healing Body Method's ability to hold an event has been so affected,
we will promptly give you written notice and use our best efforts to resume performance.
Upon receipt of such notice, all obligations shall be immediately suspended for the
duration of such Force Majeure Event. The Healing Body Method will offer a credit /
transfer of payments made to a future event within 24 months after the cessation of the
Force Majeure event.
The Healing Body Method reserves the right to hold any event at an alternate venue if
required to maintain or improve the standard of accommodation or facilities offered. We
will notify customers as soon as possible if a change in venue should occur. No
refunds or transfers to another event date will be issued for a change in venue.
EXCEPTIONS TO OUR POLICY
Due to non-recoverable payments for minimum required occupancy that we must make
to venues to secure the type of accommodation that you appreciate, exceptions to our
policy cannot be made for any reason, including but not limited to natural disasters,
inclement weather, acts of terrorism, illness, health conditions, medical or personal or
family or work emergencies, or change of mind. If you cannot reach the retreat or
training due to unforeseen circumstances such as strikes, weather circumstances, and
missed, delayed, or canceled flights, retreat, and training fees are unfortunately non-
refundable and non-transferable. If you arrive late or need to leave your retreat or
training early, you will not receive any refund on the remaining time of your scheduled
stay. We strongly recommend purchasing travel cancellation insurance. While we
are sympathetic to your life circumstances, we cannot make exceptions to these
policies.
STUDENT PARTICIPATION POLICY
We reserve the right to remove a participant from a training program or retreat if their behavior is
disruptive, if they are a danger to themselves or others, and if they fail to maintain 100%
attendance in teacher training or lack the skills necessary for participation in the teacher
training. Incomplete or inaccurate information on the application may also result in
dismissal from the program. In the event of dismissal, any refunds of tuition or retreat
costs will be at the sole discretion of The Healing Body Method. No refunds will be made
for travel, meal, or accommodation packages booked.
