If you're unable to attend due to extenuating circumstances (eg serious injury, accident) we will consider on a case by case basis and may offer a credit for future events, or a partial refund.

As this is mostly an all-inclusive retreat, the only things you will need to pay for are personal incidentals, shopping, tips and the meals that are not included in the retreat package (eg if you opt for any outings off site - to allow you to explore the fabulous restaurants during your outings). While in Bali payments are only accepted in Indonesian Rupiah cash or credit card at some local shops. Cash is still widely used in Bali especially in markets, smaller shops and cafes. If you wish to go shopping during your stay in Bali, there are many ATMs and money changers in Ubud. Plus, most larger shops and restaurants have credit card facilities.
​
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Key items to bring for your retreat in Bali are several swimsuits if you plan on pool dipping, flip flops/sandals, walking shoes / sneakers, a hat, sunglasses, dresses or comfy light clothing, yoga/gym wear, light pajamas, and personal toiletries, device chargers, insect repellant, a reusable water bottle, any medications & vitamins you require.

However, as the sun sets and evening approaches, there's a noticeable cool-down, with temperatures gently dropping to a more temperate 23°C.
​

​
IS THERE ALCOHOL?
This is an alcohol-free retreat, but you're welcome to enjoy as you wish off-site (ie we'll be enjoying a group dinner off site for one meal together, and you'll also have 'free time' to explore should you wish).
​
HOW DO I AVOID 'BALI BELLY'?
No one wants to spend their retreat on the loo or in bed, so we'll be following strict hygiene measures on our retreat. However, if you are traveling in Bali before or after your retreat here are a few suggestions. Make sure all meat and seafood is thoroughly cooked (not raw or rare - it may be wise to avoid the following foods while travelling – Sushi, Street Vendor Food, Salads or Raw food at smaller local cafes - it's better to eat local foods like nasi goreng and cooked foods at local cafes ‘warungs’). Do not drink tap water, use tap water to brush your teeth, or swallow shower water. Strictly only drink and used bottled water. Maintain good bathroom hygiene and ensure you wash you hands before eating and regularly throughout the day.
​
Take good care and manage stress leading up to the retreat, and get a good sleep before your flight!
