These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of this website (the “Site”) operated by The Spirit of the Blue Deer (“we,” “us,” “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1) Adults Only (18+)

This Site, our newsletter, and our retreat offerings are intended for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site, subscribe, or inquire about retreats. By using the Site, you confirm that you are 18+.

2) What We Provide

The Site provides information about retreats, experiences, educational content, and ways to contact us or subscribe to updates. Any retreat details shown on the Site may change, including pricing, dates, availability, inclusions, and locations.

3) No Medical, Legal, or Professional Advice

Content on this Site is for informational purposes only and is not medical, psychological, legal, or professional advice. Always seek qualified professional guidance for medical or mental health concerns. Participation in any retreat is voluntary and at your own discretion.

4) Retreat Inquiries and Bookings

Submitting a contact form or inquiry does not guarantee a reservation. A retreat booking is only confirmed when you receive written confirmation from us (and, if applicable, when required deposits or payments are received).

If you accept a retreat spot, you agree to follow any additional rules, waivers, safety instructions, or participant requirements we provide before or during the retreat.

5) Payments, Refunds, and Cancellations (Edit to match your policy)

If we accept payments for retreats, the following may apply unless we state otherwise in writing:

Deposits

Deposits may be non-refundable and used to secure your reservation.

Cancellations by you

Refund eligibility depends on the cancellation window stated at the time of booking.

Cancellations or changes by us

We may cancel or reschedule a retreat due to weather, safety concerns, low enrollment, venue changes, or circumstances beyond our control. If we cancel, we will explain the options available (such as reschedule or refund of amounts paid to us, where applicable).

Important: Any third-party costs you book (flights, hotels, transport, insurance) are your responsibility.

6) Assumption of Risk and Personal Responsibility

Retreat activities may involve travel, outdoor activity, physical exertion, remote settings, and other inherent risks. By participating (or by traveling in connection with a retreat), you accept responsibility for your health, decisions, and actions.

We strongly recommend you obtain travel insurance and ensure you are physically and mentally fit for the retreat you choose.

You agree not to:

Use the Site for unlawful purposes
Harass, threaten, abuse, or discriminate against others
Attempt to hack, scrape, or disrupt the Site or its systems
