Deposit
To secure your booking, a non-refundable 450 euros deposit is required. As this is a solo retreat, only a paid deposit will guarantee your attendance. If your dates are not available, you will be offered an alternative date. Your deposit is transferable to another person for the retreat you booked, subject to approval by your host.
Final Payment
The remaining balance is due 30 days before the retreat begins. Bookings made less th an30 days before the start date must be paid in full at the time of booking.
Please note: a lot of preparation (and not-inexpensive behind-the-scenes magic) goes into each retreat, so I can’t offer refunds of remaining balances. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover unexpected changes—because life enjoys throwing in a surprise subplot.
Cancellation
Any cancellation made in writing less than 30 days before the retreat starts, or once the retreat has started, results in a total loss of funds. Depending on availability, you may transfer your booking to another retreat date within the same calendar year at no additional fee.
No refunds are given if a retreat guest arrives late or leaves early. And out of consideration for others on the waiting list (who would love your spot very much), please commit to attending the full retreat.
I reserve the right to determine whether you’re a good fit for this retreat—if not, your deposit is refunded in full (no hard feelings, just good boundaries). And I reserve the right to cancel the retreat for personal reasons—if I do, your deposit and/or full payment will be refunded in full.
This cancellation policy is firm; therefore, please do not make any travel arrangements until you receive your registration confirmation.
If you have questions or would like further assistance in registering for a retreat, please contact me at welcome2gascony@gmail.com for more information.
Please read the terms and conditions before booking. By making a booking you confirm that you accept these terms and conditions.

- Are You Born An Empath? Or Do You Become One? Part 1
An Honest Look at a Controversial Question During my recent travels, I talked to people from different cultures, and discovered that although empathy is a well-recognised concept in many cultures, “being an empath” is not. I started thinking: So is being an empath actually a thing? Like, a real, scientifically valid thing? Or is it …Continue reading “Are You Born An Empath? Or Do You Become One? Part 1”
- Finding Love Again: A Valentine’s Day Reflection for the Recently Divorced
There’s a certain irony that comes with facing Valentine’s Day as a newly single person. The holiday arrives with its parade of heart-shaped everything, seemingly designed to remind you of what you no longer have. But what if we viewed this moment not as an ending, but as an intermission—a chance to reflect on what …Continue reading “Finding Love Again: A Valentine’s Day Reflection for the Recently Divorced”
- The Memory Of Sight
How my brain built a new world from fragments of failing vision I recently read Kim Peek’s story. Bit of a revelation, it was. To me, anyway.

They said he would never walk … - The Mindful Traveller’s Guide to Making Every Mile Matter
