Cancellation policy

All registrations and payments are non-refundable. In the case that an unavoidable scheduling conflict does arise, you are free to arrive late or depart early from the trip so that you may at least get a partial experience & education.

This workshop is designed for a maximum of 10 participants, if too few people register making the trip financially unviable; it will be canceled – which will entitle you to a full refund. This is highly unlikely but possible.
