Payment:
The fees for this retreat are quite reasonable ($765 for a single room and $665 for a double), and include room, healthy meals, a delightful setting, and use of the Center’s rich and inspiring facility. Nevertheless, committing to such a fee in one “lump” may be a challenge for some.
With that in mind, we have established an installment plan for those who would benefit from it. No extra fees will be charged for this plan, and (as is always the case) you may cancel for a full refund (minus credit card processing fees) up until July 1, 2024.
Here are the options:
- Single, full payment: $765+$35 fees = $800
- Single, three payments: $255 each, plus $35 extra for the first payment for fees
- Double, full payment: $665+$30 fees = $695
- Double, three payments: $222 each, plus $29 extra for the first payment for fees
If you want to select either payment plan, just choose the corresponding ticket (Single Payment Plan, Double Payment Plan). We will bill you directly for your second and third payments on May 15 and June 15.
