Many centers are running with smaller teams and adapting to changes in travel, accommodations and healthcare. This may cause a delay in communications but typically indicates that the host is focused on those who are currently on retreat. Please be patient with retreat hosts as we all navigate the changing world.

First step is always to reach out to the retreat center and let them know! You may be able to adjust your dates without cancelling. If you are within the refund period of your retreats cancellation policy (check this on the event page) and need to cancel reach out to the host of your retreat to discuss cancellations. When confirmed the retreat host will reach out to Retreat Guru to cancel your registration and process a refund for your deposit payment. It generally takes 5 business days to receive the funds back on to your card. If you need any help with a cancellation you can reach out to our support team.

Your data is private and confidential. Retreat Guru will only share with the center you are directly messaging or booking. To learn more, see our privacy policy and terms.

Reviews are important to us and we ensure every participant gets an opportunity to leave them. You will receive an email providing you with opportunity to leave a review. Please review our review posting policy.
