Drama-Free Guarantee.

Can't make it after you’re booked?  If, for ANY reason, you can’t attend the Pleasure Path Retreat, you will get your money back, minus the $750 USD deposit (if the grace period for the deposit has expired).

We want this to be the right decision and the place you want to be. So if things change, you can take advantage of our Drama-Free Guarantee anytime between now and until April 30th before the retreat begins and your money, minus the non-refundable deposit, will be refunded.   After that time, if you can’t make it for ANY reason, we will do everything we can to fill your spot so that you aren't out the money for a trip you didn't take.

Please note: If we are unable to run the retreat because of Covid-19 not allowing us to travel to Italy because of lockdowns/ travel restrictions that are NOT vaccination related (we are hoping for a smoother 2024, but there are big unknowns), you will receive a full refund. However, if you become ill or are unwilling to be vaccinated, all prior payment stipulations stay intact. Please make sure to read our full Covid-19 policies prior to finalizing registration.
