Workshop Policies And Limitations
we're all in this together
Workshop Deposit/Payment
A non-refundable deposit of $250 per person is required to confirm a workshop booking. If your booking is made within 60 days of the start of your event, then the full amount for the event is due at the time of booking.
Workshop Cancellation
Cancellations must be received in writing. Cancellations received more than 60 days prior to the start of the workshop are subject to the loss of a non-refundable $250 administrative fee. Cancellations made within 60 days of the start of the workshop result in forfeiture of the entire cost of the workshop, unless the scheduled event can be re-sold to another party. If the event is successfully re-sold, we will refund you the full amount, minus the $250 administrative fee.
Event Substitution/Replacement
We reserve the right to adjust the itinerary for workshops and/or activities due to severe weather, natural disasters or external events outside of our control.
Lodging Reservation
Reservations must be guaranteed with a major credit card at the time of booking. Your card will not be charged prior to your arrival except in cases of non-cancellation. The credit card owner must be present at the time of check-in and be at least 21 years of age to occupy a guest room.
Lodging Cancellation
Cancellations must be received at least 48 hours prior to your arrival date. Failure to cancel prior to the required 48 hours will result in a penalty equal to the first night's room rate plus tax.
Minimum Age Requirement
Painting workshops are highly social events, so we try to balance a level of ‘comfort and ease’ that supports generous interaction between fellow guests. Please check with us to see whether age restrictions might apply to your specific workshop.
General Health/Mobility Requirements
For special accommodations, please contact us to review your specific situation and to confirm that logistics and your particular circumstances can be adequately supported.
Pets
For the comfort, safety, and health of other guests, pets are not permitted at Heartful Retreats or any off-site event coordinated by Heartful Retreats.
Firearms
For the comfort and safety of other guests, firearms - permitted or otherwise, may not be brought onto Heartful Retreats property.
Smoking, Vaping, And Other Recreational Substances
We are a no smoking/no vaping property. A cleaning fee of $350 will be charged if smoke is detected in a guest room.
Conduct Policy
Heartful Retreats is intended as a place of respite, designed to be social, fun, and communal in nature. In that spirit, and per the discretion of Heartful Retreats staff, we reserve the right to address any conduct deemed detrimental to or incompatible with the interest, harmony, comfort or well-being of guests, or that results in any penalty to third-party operators we partner with.
Photos And Marketing
During the workshop booking process, a photo release consent form will be presented to you. You have the option to agree or disagree with the use of images taken of you during the workshop for advertising or promotional purposes. If you grant this permission, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use such images for publicity and promotional purposes only.
Right To Change Policies
We reserve the right to amend these policies at our discretion. Should an amendment occur between your booking and site arrival, we will notify you of changes via email.

Unexpected illness, family emergencies, and other unplanned situations can arise in life. For these reasons, we highly recommend trip insurance for any workshop event you book with us, and are happy to connect you with a reputable provider of trip insurance at the time of your reservation.
