RISE Retreat Terms & Conditions
Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully. By registering for, making payment toward, or attending the RISE Retreat - A Sacred Pause, you agree to be bound by the terms below.
Agreement to Terms
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("Participant," "you") and Towanda Wellbeing LLC, together with its retreat facilitators and co-hosts (collectively, "we," "us," or "the Hosts"), governing your participation in the RISE Retreat - A Sacred Pause in Peebles, OH, December 5-8, 2026 (the "Retreat"). By booking, paying, or attending, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms on your own behalf.
The Retreat
The Retreat is a four-day, three-night co-ed wellness experience limited to thirteen participants. It includes guided nature hikes, morning movement and meditation, workshops, ceremony, energy medicine, art therapy, forest bathing, breathwork, and related activities as we see fit for the group. The Hosts may adjust the schedule, activities, facilitators, and included offerings at any time and at their discretion, including for weather, safety, group needs, or circumstances beyond their control. The itinerary published before or during the Retreat is a guide, not a guarantee.
Eligibility & Registration
You must be at least 18 years old to register and attend.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information at booking and to complete any pre-retreat survey or intake form we provide.
Your spot is confirmed only when full payment is received and you receive a confirmation from us.
Spots are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Pricing & Payment
The Retreat fee is $1,497 USD per participant, unless a valid discount or coupon code is applied at checkout. Full payment is due at the time of booking to secure your spot.
Financing
Financing options such as Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm may be offered at checkout through third-party providers. If you choose financing, your installment agreement is solely between you and that provider. The Hosts receive payment in full at booking and are not a party to, and are not responsible for, the terms, fees, or servicing of any financing arrangement.
Promotional offers
Any bonus, early-commitment offer, or discount is valid only as stated at the time of purchase and subject to the conditions published with it. Bonus sessions or gifts have no cash value and are non-transferable.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. BY REGISTERING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE RESERVE YOUR ACCOMMODATION, MEALS, FACILITATORS, AND MATERIALS IN ADVANCE BASED ON YOUR COMMITMENT, AND THAT THESE COSTS CANNOT BE RECOVERED.
If you cancel
If you are unable to attend, your payment is forfeited, except that guest cancellations due to genuine extenuating circumstances may, at the Hosts' sole discretion, receive a credit toward a future retreat valid for twelve (12) months from the original Retreat date. All cancellations must be submitted to us in writing by email.
If we cancel
If the Hosts cancel the Retreat due to circumstances such as travel bans, illness, or other events beyond our reasonable control, you will receive a credit toward a future retreat valid for eighteen (18) months from the original Retreat date. We are not responsible for any airfare, travel, lodging, or other costs you incur in connection with a canceled or rescheduled Retreat.
