Booking and deposits
To secure your place at the retreat, a 50% non-refundable deposit of the total retreat fee is required at the time of booking.If booking via Retreat Guru, this deposit consists of the initial platform booking fee plus a direct payment to the organizer to complete the 50% requirement.The remaining 50% balance must be paid in full no later than 7 days prior to the retreat start date.Failure to pay the final balance by this deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your booking and forfeiture of your entire deposit. No exceptions.

Important Notes
Travel Insurance Strongly Recommended
We highly recommend that all participants purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover unforeseen personal circumstances, medical emergencies, or travel delays.

 Retreat Guru Platform Fees
The initial booking fee paid via Retreat Guru is subject to the platform's own terms and conditions. This fee is separate from the organizer's deposit and may have different refund rules. Please review Retreat Guru's policy independently.

Force Majeure
In the unlikely event that the retreat is cancelled by the organizer due to circumstances beyond our control (natural disasters, government restrictions, etc.), participants will be offered the choice of:a full credit toward a future retreat, or a refund of all payments made (excluding non-refundable platform fees)

Communication
All cancellations must be submitted in writing via email to info@quantum-vines.com and will only be considered effective upon receipt of written confirmation from the organizer.
