The cost of the Retreat is $4,250.00 for a shared occupancy in a Queen Casita or $5,250 for a private occupancy in a King Casita (with the option to add a guest/partner/spouse for $1,500). Retreat rates are per person. Double or otherwise advertised shared rooms require shared occupancy for the specified room rate. If you book a shared room without specified roommate(s), we will do our very best to match you with your desired room type and price point. In the event we can’t find you a roommate for your first pick, we will present you with different rooming options. This means that if there is no roommate, you will have to pay for the full room cost for a single room rate, not shared rate.
The flat fee set forth above includes the following: five (5) nights of accommodation at the retreat center; three (3) meals per day, plus an afternoon snack; shuttle transport from Belize City to the Resort; all retreat activities with Instructor; group excursion to a Mayan Ruin at sunset; Resort activities like river tubing, kayaking, the pool, and hiking; and tax and gratuity.
The flat fee set forth above does not include the following: anything not expressly listed above; airfare and any other travel costs to reach the Destination Country; costs associated with passports, visas, and customs; taxes; medical, travel, or trip cancellation insurance; medical examinations and testing required for travel; vaccinations; specialty beverages or alcohol; optional meals; tips; personal expenses (e.g., laundry and shopping); self-care/spa services e (e.g., massage); or one on one Intuitive Readings/Sound Healing which is available at an extra cost.
Payment.
Participant must pay the applicable fee in full at least 90 days prior to the start of the Retreat. If the reservation is made less than 90 days prior to the start of the Retreat, payment in full must be made when the reservation is accepted. If payment in full is not made as required above, Instructor may and will assume Participant will not attend the Retreat and cancellation charges will apply as set forth in Paragraph 5 below. Due to the complexity of planning the Retreat, payment plans/installment agreements are not available.
Cancellation by Participant.
Due to the complexity of planning an international retreat, refunds are only available as set forth in this Paragraph:
If Participant wishes to cancel their participation in the Retreat, they must notify Instructor by email to hello@leadingwithgjv.com. Cancellation shall take effect on the day Instructor receives the required email from Participant.
If proper cancellation notice is received by Instructor more than 90 days prior to the start of the Retreat, 50% of any payments made by Participant will be refunded to Participant.
If cancellation notice is received by Instructor 90 days or less prior to the start of the Retreat, there shall be no refund.
There shall be no refund if Participant attends the Retreat, but leaves early, for any reason.
Any refunds due to Participant according to this Agreement will be made in USD by check to Participant within 30 days of receiving proper cancellation notice. Cashing of the check by Participant shall constitute full settlement between Instructor and Participant.
Cancellation and Changes by Instructor.
Instructor reserves the right to make changes to any aspect of the Retreat, or to cancel the Retreat entirely, at any time due to conditions in the Destination Country, neighboring countries, or the world, including but not limited to acts of nature such as weather or other natural disaster, pandemic, and other “acts of god,” acts of war or terrorism, terrorist threat, civil unrest, riots, strikes, trade disputes, interruption of transportation, government or political actions or orders, change of law or regulation, suspension of civil rights, crime, a material change to the relevant U.S. State Department Travel Warning or Advisory (which can be found at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html), acts or omissions of a third party, or for any other reason whatsoever outside the reasonable control of Instructor. This is a force majeure provision. In such an event, the Instructor and the Resort will reschedule the Retreat within a one-year time frame. If the changes or cancellation occur more than 90 days from the start of the Retreat (and Participant does not wish to accept the changes), 100% of any payments made by Participant will be refunded to Participant; if the changes or cancellation occur between 31 and 90 days prior to the start of the Retreat (and Participant does not wish to accept the changes), 50% of any payments made by Participant will be refunded to Participant; or if the changes or cancellation occur 30 days or less prior to the start of the Retreat (and Participant does not wish to accept the changes), refunds may be given in the discretion of Instructor or Instructor may agree to apply all or part of any payments made to a future retreat with Instructor.
In all of the above-listed events in this Paragraph, Participant hereby waives any right to claim other amounts are due to them, including but not limited to for loss of time, inconvenience, visa and passport fees, airfare and other travel expenses, insurance premiums, gear purchases, and vaccination and other medical-related costs. Participating in international travel and an international retreat is risky for everyone involved, not just Participant. That is why Instructor requires travel and trip cancellation insurance; such insurance helps everyone share the potential cost of the risks of an international retreat.

Reservations cannot be transferred from one retreat to another. However, deposits or any payments made by Participant may be transferable to another applicant for or participant in the Retreat.
Required Insurance.
Instructor requires that each and every Participant purchase individual travel and trip cancellation insurance in advance of the Retreat. In particular, due to the inherently risky nature of international travel especially during and for while after the COVID-19 global public health emergency, Instructor recommends a “Cancel For Any Reason” provision in the policy. It is Participant’s responsibility to ensure that they are adequately insured for the duration of the Retreat regarding accident, injury, illness, death, emergency evacuation and repatriation, loss of personal items, cancellation, curtailment, worldwide emergency assistance, and all other contingencies. No insurance is provided for Participant by Instructor or by the retreat center. Participant must confirm coverage for said insurance via google form submission when requested by Instructor.
