The Retreat

Retreat for the Soul is a seven-night residential spiritual and wellbeing retreat hosted by The Spiritual Blacksmith and Anne-Marie Bond.

The week brings together yoga, sound healing, spiritual development, creative practices and mindful rest, with optional excursions to Stonehenge and Glastonbury available separately.

Retreat Investment

Full retreat investment details are supplied directly once you register your interest and make contact with the hosts.

The full retreat investment is intentionally not displayed on this public website.

Before your deposit is accepted, you will be provided in writing with:

• your full retreat investment
• your selected accommodation option
• the deposit required
• the remaining balance
• the agreed payment schedule
• the payment method

This allows you to understand the financial commitment before your place is confirmed.

Your Deposit

A deposit secures your place once your booking has been accepted by the retreat organisers.

• US guests: $500 deposit
• UK guests: £400 deposit

Your deposit forms part of your total retreat investment and is not an additional charge.

The deposit is subject to the terms contained within our cancellation and refund policy.

No online payment is taken through this website. Payments are arranged directly with the organisers by agreed bank transfer or PayPal.

Cancellation and Refunds

Your booking is also subject to our separate cancellation and refund policy:

• refunds before the cut-off
• cancellations after the cut-off
• possible transfer of a place

Accommodation

Accommodation options include shared occupancy and a limited number of single-occupancy rooms, subject to availability.

A private bathroom is provided with the accommodation as currently advertised.

Single occupancy carries a higher retreat investment than shared occupancy.

Full accommodation and investment details are provided privately when you register your interest.

The exact retreat property is not named publicly on this website. The full retreat address and relevant arrival information will be provided to confirmed guests.

Your retreat includes:

• seven nights’ accommodation
• scheduled retreat sessions and spiritual activities
• yoga and mindful movement
• sound and vibrational work
• creative activities
• use of the retreat house and grounds
• meals prepared during the retreat
• time for rest and personal reflection

Only include items here that are already confirmed as part of the retreat. Do not add Stonehenge or Glastonbury to this list.

Optional Excursions

During the retreat, guests may have the opportunity to join planned optional excursions to:

Stonehenge

and

Glastonbury

These excursions are not included within the Retreat for the Soul investment.

Guests who choose to participate will pay the relevant excursion costs separately. Details, availability and costs will be provided separately.

Choosing not to participate in an optional excursion does not alter the cost of the main retreat.

As these experiences involve external venues, transport and/or third-party providers, arrangements may occasionally need to change because of circumstances outside the retreat organisers’ reasonable control.

Travel

Attendees are responsible for arranging their own travel to England and onward travel to Somerset unless something is expressly stated as included.

This may include:

• flights
• trains
• taxis
• car hire
• fuel
• additional accommodation
• other transport not specifically stated as part of the retreat

Guests travelling internationally should allow sufficient time for their journey and onward travel to Somerset.

Further arrival information will be provided to confirmed guests.

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend that every attendee obtains appropriate comprehensive travel insurance as soon as their retreat place is confirmed.

Depending upon your circumstances, you may wish to consider cover for:

• cancellation
• illness
• travel disruption
• delayed or cancelled flights
• missed connections
• baggage
• medical needs
• other circumstances that could prevent attendance

International guests should make sure their chosen insurance is suitable for travel to the United Kingdom and for the type and value of trip being booked.

It is the guest’s responsibility to check the terms and level of cover offered by their chosen insurer.

The retreat organisers cannot guarantee that an insurer will reimburse a particular claim.

Passports, Visas and Entry Requirements

International guests are responsible for checking and meeting their own UK passport, visa and entry requirements.

Please make sure your travel documents are appropriate and valid for the dates of your visit.

The retreat organisers cannot accept responsibility for a guest being unable to travel because the appropriate passport, visa, travel authorisation or other entry requirement has not been obtained.

Nothing in this section affects responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.

Health, Mobility and Accessibility

We want guests to feel comfortable and properly informed before deciding whether the retreat is suitable for them.

Prospective guests should make reasonable enquiries before booking if they have accessibility, mobility, dietary or other practical requirements that could affect their stay or participation.

We are happy to discuss individual practical requirements before a booking is confirmed.

Please do not send unnecessary sensitive medical information through the public website.

Dietary Requirements

Reasonable dietary requirements should be discussed with the organisers in advance.

We will do our best to accommodate confirmed dietary needs, but specific requirements cannot be guaranteed unless they have been discussed and agreed before the retreat.

Guests with significant allergies or dietary requirements should raise these with the organisers before confirming their booking so that suitability can be discussed.

Retreat Programme

The advertised programme represents the planned Retreat for the Soul experience.

Reasonable changes may occasionally be necessary because of:

• weather
• availability
• circumstances affecting a facilitator or activity
• circumstances outside the organisers’ reasonable control
• the practical needs of the group

Any changes will aim to preserve the overall quality, intention and spirit of the retreat.

Minor programme changes do not automatically create a right to a full refund.

Nothing in this section affects any statutory rights that may apply in the event of a significant change.

Spiritual Activities

The retreat includes spiritual, intuitive, mediumistic, creative and wellbeing experiences.

Participation is always your choice.

Participation does not guarantee any particular:

• spiritual experience
• communication
• message
• evidence
• healing result
• intuitive experience
• personal outcome

You remain responsible for deciding which activities you wish to participate in.

Guests should feel able to step away from an optional activity if they do not wish to participate.

Behaviour and Respect

Retreat for the Soul is intended to provide a welcoming, respectful and supportive environment.

Guests are expected to treat:

• other attendees
• the hosts
• visiting facilitators
• staff
• the accommodation
• the surrounding community

with appropriate consideration and respect.

The organisers reserve the right to address behaviour that is seriously disruptive, abusive, threatening, discriminatory, dangerous or otherwise significantly affects the wellbeing or safety of others.

In serious circumstances, a guest may be required to leave the retreat.

Any refund entitlement in those circumstances will depend upon the individual circumstances and any applicable legal rights.

Personal Belongings

Guests remain responsible for their own personal belongings throughout the retreat.

Please take reasonable care of valuables, travel documents, electronic devices and other personal possessions.

The organisers cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage except where responsibility cannot legally be excluded.

Photography and Video

Attending Retreat for the Soul does not automatically mean that you consent to identifiable photographs or video of you being used publicly or for promotional purposes.

Permission will be sought where identifiable photographs or video are intended to be used for:

• marketing
• social media
• websites
• future retreat promotion
• other public promotional material

Guests are welcome to tell the organisers if they prefer not to appear in promotional photography or video.

Participation and Liability

The organisers take reasonable care in planning and hosting Retreat for the Soul.

Guests remain responsible for making sensible decisions about their own participation in retreat activities.

If you have concerns about whether a particular activity is suitable for you, please raise them before participating.

Nothing within these terms is intended to exclude or limit liability where doing so would be unlawful.

If You Arrive Late or Leave Early

If you arrive after the retreat has begun or choose to leave before the retreat finishes, we cannot guarantee a refund for accommodation, meals, activities or other elements of the retreat that you do not use.

If exceptional circumstances arise, please speak to us and we will consider the situation fairly.

Nothing in this section affects any statutory rights that may apply.

Questions Before You Book

If there is anything you are unsure about, please ask before paying your deposit. We would much rather answer your questions and make sure the retreat is right for you before your place is confirmed.
