Teacher cancellation: Natasha reserves the right to cancel the retreat prior to departure, in which case you will be offered a transfer to a future retreat date or a refund less the original deposit made.

Natasha or Olivia Ashton are not responsible for any expenses or damages incurred as a result of retreat cancellation including preparation costs, airline tickets, travel documents or other expenses.

If for any reason Natasha needs to cancel, the other supporting team will lead the retreat on their own with support from the retreat center.

We ask that you do not book any travel arrangements until we have confirmed that your retreat has reached the group size minimum to run.

Ebbio’s Liability Terms + Conditions: Any damage to the property will be the responsibility of the participant. Your stay will be on a rural working farm with animals, both domesticated and wild. Your presence in such an environment is voluntary and taken at your own risk. Ebbio reserves the right to take photographic or film records of your stay and to use such material for promotional use without remuneration to the individual.

Room Allocations: If you are booking a shared room and traveling solo, you will be sharing with another retreat guest. Rooms will be allocated on a first paid basis.

Travel documents: It is the responsibility of each traveler to obtain all required travel documents including valid passports and visas. In most cases you must have at least 6 months validity on your passport in order to travel.

Travel arrangements: It is your responsibility to make your own travel arrangements to and from the retreat center including flights and airport transfers.

With your permission I can connect you with other guests joining your retreat, to see if you can arrange travel options. In this case you take full responsibility for your own travel plans.

If you choose to share cars or transport with other guests or retreat hosts, and/or retreat center staff members whilst on the trip then please note that you do this at your own risk.

Insurances: We advise all attendees to purchase travel and medical insurance on booking to cover any unfortunate events while traveling and on retreat.

Your insurance is NOT included in the retreat price.

If you are traveling from the USA, we highly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance (this is different from airline cancellation insurance).

Taking part in any of the activities that will take place during the retreat, including breathwork and yoga, and excursions can carry a risk. When you participate in the retreat or in any of the activities that take place during the retreat, you agree that you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible, and do not have any liability for, any risk, damage, injuries, or illnesses that occur during or as a consequence of your participation in the retreat, whether by reason of negligence or otherwise. You must insure yourself against any such risk.

Health disclaimer: You must provide Natasha with full details upon booking of any existing medical conditions, disability or injury that may affect your retreat at the time of your booking and thereafter. If, the retreat is not suitable for your medical condition or disability then Natasha has the right to refuse to accept the booking.

Should you not give us full details of your medical condition or disability upon booking Natasha reserves the right to cancel the booking at any time, including at the beginning of or during the retreat,

Medical disclaimer: By accepting these terms + conditions you hereby confirm that you are medically, physically, emotionally and in all respects fit and able to participate in the retreat. If not, you confirm that you have put in writing to Natasha to explain and describe as clearly as possible any/all issues that may interfere with the retreat.

You acknowledge that you have no physical impairments, injuries, or illnesses that will endanger others or yourself. You will advise us of any impairments upon your initial booking.

You acknowledge that we may make suggestions from time to time that are intended to help you and your well- being. However, you take ultimate responsibility for your choices and realize that Natasha, Olivia and staff are not licensed medical providers and that you must consult your doctor if in any doubt about any physical, mental, medical issues or medicines prior to the retreat.

Allergies: An environment free of allergens, including but not limited to food allergens, CANNOT be guaranteed on this retreat.

Responsibility and Behavior: As part of your booking with us, you accept liability for any loss or damage caused by you during the course of your retreat.

Payment for any loss or damage must be made to the retreat center or us at the time that it occurs or as soon as is reasonable thereafter. If the cost of the loss or damage is not known at the time, we will reasonably estimate it and if this reasonable estimate exceeds the amount paid, you must pay the difference once known. If less, the difference will be refunded to you.

You are responsible for your own behavior. We maintain the right to refuse service to you by terminating your retreat arrangements should your behavior be deemed to be inappropriate, discriminatory, disruptive, upsetting or dangerous to yourself or anyone else, or if you are likely to cause damage to the property. In these circumstances, we will not be liable to pay any refund, compensation or expenses incurred by you if we have to terminate your booking arrangements due to unacceptable behaviour.

Photographer on Site: We will have photographer, Olivia Ashton, with us during the retreat who may capture pictures from time to time. Any of that content can and will be used for promotion for future offerings of Natasha Stewart and Olivia Ashton. If you don’t feel comfortable being in the pictures, please let us know and that will be respected.
