There will also be NO discounts for arriving late, leaving early, change of personal plans, flight cancellations, travel delays, illness or any unexpected personal events.

Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE due to the following reasons.

We really wish we could compensate people for unforeseen circumstances (emergencies, delay, injury or illness, etc) but we have costs already incurred when hiring rooms, retreat accommodation, renting space, advertising, land travel, staffing & excursions, insurance, website costs, catering etc.

COVID RESPONSE | In this uncharted climate where country and or state border closures affect travel or domestic events, we CAN NOT offer ANY refunds after the non-refundable deposit UNLESS our vendors pass on their own refunds. This is a difficult time for everyone, and once more we are women of INTEGRITY so do know we will do all that is responsibly possible to ensure you get value for your investment yet sadly we make NO absolutely guarantees.  On purchase of your ticket you agree to & accept responsibility for your investment and further understand pandemic adjustments to travel and events are well out of the hands of ROOTS COLLECTIVE & hold NO legal liability for financial loss against ROOTS COLLECTIVE, Katy Johnstone or Eva Kiss.

In the event that ROOTS COLLECTIVE must cancel an event due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances eg weather, natural disaster, safety reasons, pandemic or political upheaval, we CANNOT guarantee a refund of funds paid after the NON-REFUNDABLE ticket – it will be dependent upon receiving a refund from providers that we work with.
