terms + conditions

the container we create together

at moon nectar, we view our retreats as sacred containers held by mutual respect and clear understanding. these terms represent not just legal protections but a covenant between us—a foundation of trust that allows transformative experiences to unfold safely for all.

reservation & payment

deposit & full payment
a $500 refundable deposit is required with your application. upon acceptance, this deposit becomes non-refundable and is applied toward your total retreat investment. full payment is due 60 days prior to retreat start date.

understanding our small business reality
as a small, heart-centered business, we make significant financial commitments to secure your retreat experience—from venue reservations to staff arrangements to food preparation. these commitments are made months in advance and cannot be undone.

therefore, we cannot offer any refunds within 90 days of the retreat start date. all sales are final at this point, without exception. we genuinely appreciate your understanding of this necessary policy that allows us to continue offering these sacred experiences.

cancellation policy

if you need to cancel

  • More than 90 days before retreat: Full refund minus $500 deposit

  • 60-90 days before retreat: 50% refund of total payment

  • Less than 60 days before retreat: No refunds or credits available

if we need to cancel
in the rare event that moon nectar must cancel a retreat due to insufficient enrollment, natural disasters, or other circumstances beyond our control, you will receive a full refund including deposit, or the option to transfer to another retreat. however, moon nectar cannot be held responsible for non-refundable travel expenses. we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance.

retreat transfer

your retreat reservation is non-transferable to another person. in exceptional circumstances, we may consider allowing you to transfer your payment to a future retreat (within 12 months), minus a $250 administrative fee, provided you notify us more than 60 days before your scheduled retreat.

maintaining the sacred container

honoring the collective experience
each retreat is carefully curated to create a sanctuary of trust, presence, and mutual respect. to protect this container for all participants:

moon nectar reserves the right to ask any participant to leave the retreat without refund if their behavior:

  • disrupts the retreat environment for other participants

  • violates the practice of silence (during silent retreats)

  • demonstrates disrespect toward facilitators, staff, or other participants

  • involves use of recreational drugs or excessive alcohol

  • threatens the safety or wellbeing of any person present

  • cooks animal products in the home

this policy is enforced with deep compassion, and only when necessary to maintain the integrity of the experience for the entire group.

health considerations
retreat participants are responsible for:

  • disclosing pre-existing physical or psychological conditions

  • bringing necessary medications and managing their own health needs

  • understanding that our retreats may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions

moon nectar is not responsible for medical treatment or diagnosis. while basic first aid is available, we are not equipped to handle medical emergencies beyond arranging transportation to medical facilities.

media & privacy

photography & recordings
we may capture photographs or videos during retreats for promotional purposes. by participating, you grant moon nectar permission to use images or recordings in which you may appear. if you prefer not to be photographed, please notify us in writing before the retreat.

confidentiality
what is shared in our circles stays within our circles. all participants are expected to maintain the privacy of other participants' personal shares and experiences.

force majeure

moon nectar cannot be held liable for failure to perform due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of government, pandemic, civil unrest, or other emergencies.

changes to retreat program
