4.2. Health Requirements: Participation in our Services requires good physical and mental health.

4.3. Preparation: Participants in transformative retreats or other intensive programs must adhere to specific preparation guidelines (e.g., dietary adjustments, abstinence from certain substances) as outlined in our documentation. Non-compliance may result in exclusion without refund.
4.4. Cancellation by Participant:
Cancellation of participation in a weekend retreat or day retreat must be made in writing only. This can be done via email to tamara_ayatribe@protonmail.com and is valid upon confirmation of cancellation by Mother’s House. The following applies to cancellations:

Up to 60 days before the start of the weekend or day retreat, the Participant may cancel their registration, and Mother’s House will not charge cancellation fees.
Between 60 days and 30 days before the start of the weekend or day retreat, the Participant may cancel their registration, in which case 25% of the weekend or day retreat costs will be charged.
Between 30 days and 14 days before the start of the weekend or day retreat, the Participant may cancel their registration, in which case 50% of the weekend or day retreat costs will be charged.
If the Participant cancels their registration within 14 days before the start of the weekend or day retreat, 100% of the weekend or day retreat costs will be charged.
If the Participant is unable to participate on-site, for any reason, the prepaid weekend or day retreat costs will not be refunded.
If the Participant is unable to attend the booked weekend or day retreat, substitution by another individual is permitted, but only after consultation with Mother’s House and provided the details of the substitute participant are submitted via email at least 1 day prior to the start.
Participation in the program during the weekend or day retreat is voluntary. Participants are free to opt out of the offered program. Opting out does not entitle the Participant to a (partial) refund of the prepaid weekend or day retreat costs, nor to a replacement session or activity.
