A few useful questions.
Can I book and pay today?
You can submit a booking request today. It creates an enquiry for the retreat team, not a reservation. No payment is collected here. A confirmed written offer is needed before you accept a place.
Can I come on my own?
Yes, you can request a place as a solo traveller. Choose your preferred room arrangement in the form. Room matching and any single supplement will be confirmed in the offer.
Is the festival ticket included?
Festival access, ticket categories and the final programme remain to be confirmed. Only the written offer will establish what is included.
Can I combine this with another retreat?
Tell us which other departure interests you. Each retreat is a separate proposal; connections, hosting and dates need confirmation before a combined trip can be offered.
