7. Refunds & Cancellation Policy

Retreat spaces are intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy and integrity of the container. Please read the following policy carefully before securing your place.

Deposit & Payment Terms:
A deposit equivalent to two (2) fortnightly payments is required to secure your place. This deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances, including change of mind, scheduling conflicts, or personal reasons.

If you need to cancel your attendance:

• More than 30 days before the retreat: Any payments made beyond the non-refundable deposit may be refunded, minus processing fees.
• Within 30 days of the retreat start date: All payments made are non-refundable.

Transfer to a Future Retreat
At the facilitator’s discretion, you may request to transfer your payments (excluding the non-refundable deposit) to a future Retreat if:

• You notify me in writing as soon as possible, and
• Your spot is successfully filled by another participant.

Transfers are not guaranteed and are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Retreat Cancellation by Organiser
In the unlikely event that Body Magik must be cancelled by the organiser, you will be offered either:
• A full refund of all payments made, or
• A transfer of your full payment to a future retreat.

By securing your place, you acknowledge and agree to the above terms.
