Further terms, conditions and policies for retreats home & away:
Your Health
It is your responsibility to let our teachers know if you have any injuries and to be mindful at all times of your own body’s capability during our retreats. If you experience any injury or discomfort during any activity during the retreat, then please stop participating immediately.
It is also your responsibility to consult a doctor with an understanding of fitness to check that you are sufficiently fit and healthy to undertake physical activities that you may choose to do whilst on the retreat.
Please advise us of any mental or physical health conditions and dietary requirements before you book. If you have health conditions and dietary requirements that may be affected by the activities offered on our retreats we reserve the right, for your own wellbeing, to advise you to stop participating.
Whilst all measures are taken to ensure a high standard of health and safety, our retreats do take places where the land is uneven and we shall not be responsible for any injuries caused by uneven terrain.
We ask that women who are 12 to 28 weeks pregnant provide a letter from their health practitioner specifying that they are fit to travel and able to engage in the activities that we provide.

Travel Insurance & Cancellation Policies
We recommend that your travel insurance covers the activity of your retreat with us as well as unexpected cancellation, sickness, losses and all the usual risks. Note: Refunds are not permitted after the payment due date, hence this recommendation, also, it is your responsibility to organise suitable travel and health insurance. You acknowledge that Jane Macdonald or Laura Moyes are not in the business of providing insurance products and cannot be held liable if your failure to arrange suitable insurance coverage leaves you exposed, medically, financially or otherwise.
You understand and acknowledge that it is a condition of booking that you must take out an adequate travel insurance policy that covers all items listed in the sample itinerary for your chosen Retreat, as well as but not limited to, trip cancellation insurance, and any other activities that which may reasonably be undertaken during the course of your Retreat. The policy and insurance coverage must be valid and in effect for the entire duration of your Retreat.
