Cancellation Policy

Cancellation Policy

• There is no penalty to change courses/dates between the different Weeks before start of retreat. We strongly request that you make any changes 3o days in advance of retreat start, so we can plan meeting space size, etc.
• EARLY CANCELLATION: If you cancel 30 or more days in advance, the rest of your deposit (whatever amount you’ve paid) is refundable (less $150.00 per retreat). You may cancel by letter, stamp-dated fax, email, or phone message and must clearly identify your name and retreat. We must RECEIVE your cancellation by midnight of the 30th day – its NOT WHEN YOU POSTMARK your letter.
  We do NOT accept responsibility for technical difficulties in delivering your message unless they are caused by us (i.e. our answering machine is not working properly, etc.).
• No refunds given after retreat starts. This applies to both housing (currently self-provided) and tuition. Occasionally partial credits for future retreats are granted for exceptional emergencies, such death-in-family or medical emergencies, at the discretion of Healing Tao USA. We will do everything reasonably possible to help you continue/finish the course at a future date.
• LATE CANCELLATION: If you cancel in the final 30 days BEFORE retreat starts:
  • Option A: DEPOSIT APPLIED TO FUTURE RETREAT. 100% of your paid deposit (less $150. cancel fee) is automatically credited to future retreats taken within 24 months (within next two years of summer retreats).
  • Option B: 50% CASH REFUND. If you don’t intend to take a future retreat within the next two summers (your best deal financially), you may request instead a 50% cash refund of the total cost of tuition due for that retreat. Payment will be made promptly to you.
  • If you have not paid 100% of that retreat tuition at the time of cancellation in the last 30 days before retreat start, you still legally owe 50% of the total cost of that retreat. Even if you’ve signed an extended payment agreement or failed to pay that 50% in advance for some reason.
  • People who cancel late are naturally unhappy about this, but we assure you that 50% cancel fee is just to cover our overhead. Running a large retreat program is economically marginal at best, and becomes a losing proposition without long term planning stability to enable us to control costs of marketing, staff and faculty.
