​

Event Cancellation:

​

Storyteller Within reserves the right to cancel any program at any time. Retreats have final confirmation on or before 60 days out. If an event is cancelled, you will be fully refunded your retreat fees. 

 

Exception: Storyteller Within is not liable for events beyond all control - such as natural disasters, political upheaval, countrywide travel restrictions or other such unexpected circumstances - that would necessitate cancellation of the event.

 

Travel Insurance: 

 

To protect your investment, including travel costs, against unforeseen circumstances, travel insurance is strongly advised for all participants.

 

For maximum coverage, purchase a 'cancel for any reason policy' upgrade option which covers a high percentage of your non-refundable costs. These policies often need to be bought 14-21 days after booking and have a 48 hours prior to departure cancellation window. Available from insurance companies like Trawick International and Travel Guard.
