I understand the following things are my own responsibility:

By signing below, you authorize the Companies to receive a direct ACH bank transfer or charge your credit or debit card, as payment for your enrollment in the Retreat in accordance with the Retreat package and payment plan selected upon registration. You are responsible for the entire tuition.

$1,000 deposits are refundable through January 31, 2022. Starting February 1, 2022, all payments received are non-refundable. If you have chosen a payment plan all scheduled payments must be paid on a timely basis whether you complete the Retreat or not. If you enter into a payment plan and any one payment is missed the entire amount agreed to under the agreement becomes due and payable immediately, and for each month such payment goes unpaid 1.5% interest is added to the amount due.

Participation in this Retreat is limited to those in possession of a passport valid for a minimum of 3 months from the Retreat end date of October 15, 2022. The name on your reservation must match exactly your legal name as it appears on your passport.

Participants must adhere to all requirements outlined by the government of Italy necessary for entry into the country by U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents, including COVID testing, vaccinations or insurance coverage.

Similarly, participants must adhere to all requirements outlined by the U.S. government for re-entry into the country. Effective December 6, 2021, all air passengers 2 years or older (citizens of all nationalities, including U.S. citizens, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated) with a flight departing to the US from a foreign country, are required show a negative COVID-19 viral test result taken no more than 1 day before travel, or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days, before they board their flight. Relais Sassa al Sole will make arrangements for all guests to receive COVID testing prior to departure. All Retreat participants must agree to be tested and incur the payment for such testing. 

Trip insurance can protect you in the event you must cancel for a covered medical or other unforeseen reason or event (“Force Majeure” as defined herein below), as well as trip interruption, lost or damaged baggage, trip delays, etc. Check with your credit card issuer if they provide trip protection of any kind, otherwise you can purchase trip insurance from a third-party provider. Journeywork Retreats is able to quote trip insurance if so desired through their parent company Golden Journeys Travel.

PLEASE NOTE: This Retreat requires walking on uneven surfaces and navigating stairs, and in instances where alternative accommodations are unfortunately not available. We cannot be held responsible for parties who do not acknowledge these parameters.

The Companies will be following and adhering to all mandated health protocols, policies and guidelines in place at the time of this Retreat to ensure all participants’ maximum safety.

The third-party facilitators and vendors and transportation providers utilized may also require similar disclosures and health screenings and refusal and/or failure to cooperate with these processes gives the Companies the right to exclude you from the Retreat and/or activities and/or cut short any involvement or participation by you in the Retreat and/or the Retreat activities. In such an event, you will NOT be entitled to any refund or return of deposits or fees or payments and may be required to pay to alter travel arrangements for the protection of the health of other members and/or in accordance with governmental health service restrictions and rules.

We are committed to providing all Retreat participants with a positive Retreat experience.
