terms and conditions

Terms and Conditions for the Machu Picchu Yoga Retreat (July 27 - August 2, 2025)


1. Non-Refundable Deposit: To secure your spot for the retreat, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. This deposit ensures your place but is strictly non-refundable under any circumstances.


2. Final Payment: The final payment for the retreat is due by Tuesday, May 27, 2025, exactly two months before the start of the retreat. If the full balance is not paid by this date, your spot may be forfeited, and no refund of your deposit will be made.


3. Payment Plans: Opting into a payment plan. You will receive a separate payment link/invoice for the remaining balance with your preferred payment plan. From that point forward, payments will be automatically collected monthly, starting from the date of your deposit, until the final balance is due by May 27, 2025. All remaining balances will be charged to the credit card on file on May 27, 2025. Please note: If you select a payment plan with more installments than there are months remaining until the final due date, some payments may be scheduled closer together rather than on a monthly basis.

4. Automatic Billing: At the time of ticket purchase, only the initial $500 deposit will be charged if you check out with the payment plan option. Automatic billing DOES NOT begin until you pay and receive your first invoice one month after paying the deposit. The remaining balance will be automatically billed to your card on file. Please ensure you have sufficient funds for upcoming payments, as all balances must be cleared by Tuesday, May 27, 2025.


5. Cancellation and Refund Policy: We have a strict no-refund policy, including the non-refundable deposit. This is necessary because we enter into binding agreements with third-party vendors, such as the retreat venue, which also enforce non-refundable terms. The only exception to this policy would be if the retreat were canceled due to “acts of God” (e.g., a government-mandated shutdown due to COVID-19), in which case we will refund participants in full. Please ensure you have considered all factors before booking, and we strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself in the event of unforeseen circumstances.


6. Ticket Transfers: You may transfer your retreat ticket to another person up to three (3) days before the start of the retreat by emailing us at connect@journeyofabirdie.com. After this time, no transfers will be allowed.


7. Acknowledgement of Responsibility: By participating in the Machu Picchu Yoga Retreat, you acknowledge that the offerings provided are not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. It is your responsibility to inform the facilitator of any serious health conditions or injuries before each session or workshop.


8. Waiver of Liability: By agreeing to these terms, you release the retreat hosts and facilitators from any liability for injury or damage to persons or property resulting from your participation in the retreat activities. You acknowledge that you are participating at your own risk and that neither the hosts nor facilitators are responsible for accidents or injuries.


9. Electronic Signature: By purchasing a service, you are acknowledging and agreeing to the terms and conditions delivering an electronic signature that holds the same legal effect as an original manual signature. This electronic signature is equally binding and represents your agreement to the terms and conditions listed above.


10. Confirmation: I have read and understood the terms outlined above, including the refund/cancellation policy, waiver of liability, and all other stipulations. By providing my electronic signature, I voluntarily agree to these terms.
