The full retreat balance must be paid by 31st March 2027. Details of the available instalment schedule and payment dates will be provided when the balance is invoiced.

Due to venue commitments and the small-group nature of this retreat, payments are non-refundable if you choose to cancel your place, subject to your statutory rights.

If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your place to another suitable participant up to 14 days before the retreat, subject to Emma Deery's approval.

If the retreat is cancelled by Emma Deery, all monies paid to Emma Deery will be refunded in full.

Emma Deery is not responsible for any costs incurred with third parties, including but not limited to flights, accommodation before or after the retreat, travel, insurance or other associated expenses.

4. Travel Insurance

Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory.

Your policy should include, where appropriate:

  • cancellation cover

Emma Deery accepts no responsibility for losses that would ordinarily be covered by travel insurance.

5. Health & Participation

The retreat includes movement, mindfulness, embodiment practices and other wellbeing activities.

You are responsible for ensuring that you are physically and emotionally able to participate.

You agree to disclose any medical conditions, injuries, allergies or other information that may affect your participation before the retreat begins.

Emma Deery is not a medical or mental health practitioner and the retreat is not a substitute for medical, psychological or therapeutic treatment.

6. Food & Allergies

Meals will be provided throughout the retreat.

Dietary requirements should be communicated before arrival.

Whilst every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate dietary needs, meals are prepared in a domestic kitchen and cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed. Guests with severe allergies participate at their own discretion.

7. Liability

Participation is voluntary and at your own risk.

Emma Deery holds appropriate public liability insurance but cannot accept responsibility for:

  • illness
  • injury
  • loss or damage to personal belongings
  • travel disruption
  • circumstances outside her reasonable control

Participants are responsible for their own wellbeing throughout the retreat.

8. Behaviour

The retreat is intended to provide a safe, respectful and supportive environment.

The retreat is hosted within a private home. Participants are expected to treat the property, its contents and surrounding environment with the same care and respect they would their own home. Any damage caused through negligence or misuse may result in the participant being responsible for the cost of repair or replacement.

Participants are expected to follow any reasonable house rules communicated before or during the retreat to help maintain a safe, comfortable and respectful environment for everyone.

Emma Deery reserves the right to ask a participant to leave the retreat without refund where behaviour is unsafe, abusive, significantly disruptive or shows a serious disregard for the property or those attending the retreat.

9. Photography

Photographs or video may occasionally be taken for promotional purposes.

Your consent will always be requested before identifiable images are used.

10. Force Majeure

Emma Deery shall not be liable for changes, postponement or cancellation caused by events outside her reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, natural disasters, government restrictions, strikes or transport disruption.

Where circumstances outside Emma Deery's reasonable control prevent the retreat from taking place as planned, participants will be contacted as soon as reasonably possible regarding any alternative arrangements, postponement or cancellation.

Any refunds due will be handled in accordance with applicable consumer law.

Emma Deery is not responsible for losses or costs incurred with third parties, including flights, accommodation before or after the retreat, travel arrangements or other associated expenses. Participants are therefore strongly advised to ensure that their travel insurance provides appropriate cancellation and disruption cover.

11. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
