I’d love to come, but I can’t afford it or would need to pay in installments
We have tried to keep the price as low as possible and if it’s not possible for you to pay for the weekend in full, we can make payment installment arrangements. If money is the only thing stopping you from coming, we strongly encourage you to have a private chat with Gina to see what we can arrange for you, as we would much rather you came than not at all!
What if I need to cancel?
Places are unfortunately non-refundable, unless there’s someone on the waiting list. Please speak to Gina ASAP if you can no longer attend to see what we can do.
