If you cancel and your spot is not filled, the following applies:
- Cancel 90 days or more before the start of the workshop and you’ll receive a 50% refund of workshop fees that you have paid, including your deposit.
- Cancel with less than 90 days before the start of the workshop and you’ll receive no refund of workshop fees that you have paid, including your deposit.

We will hold your payment in escrow for 18 months from the date of the cancelled trip and apply it to a future trip. If you do not apply your balance to a trip within 18 months of the cancelled trip, you will forfeit your payment.
