Terms of Use

Last updated: May 2026

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before registering for or attending a Witnessed Retreat hosted by The Seen Collective. By submitting an application, paying a deposit, or attending a retreat, you agree to the terms outlined below. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use this website.

​

1. Purpose of This Website

This website is intended to provide information about retreats, workshops, events, educational offerings, and community experiences hosted by The Seen Collective and Witnessed Retreats.

All content is provided for informational, educational, and inspirational purposes only.

​

2. Registration & Payment

A non-refundable deposit of $1,500 is required to reserve your space at a Witnessed Retreat. This deposit confirms your participation and is applied toward your total retreat investment.

The remaining balance is due no later than 60 days prior to the retreat start date. Failure to submit full payment by this date may result in forfeiture of your space and deposit.

Payment plans are available upon request. Please indicate this in your application and we will work with you to find an arrangement that works.

All prices are listed in US dollars. The Seen Collective reserves the right to update pricing for future retreats.

​

3. Cancellation & Refund Policy

Cancellations by the guest:

If you cancel your registration more than 90 days before the retreat start date, you will receive a full refund minus your $1,500 non-refundable deposit.

If you cancel between 60 and 90 days before the retreat start date, you will receive a 50% refund of the balance paid, minus the deposit.

If you cancel fewer than 60 days before the retreat start date, no refund will be issued. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment.

You may have the opportunity to transfer your registration to another eligible participant prior to the retreat, but your replacement is subject to approval by The Seen Collective for rightness of fit with the rest of the group. Please contact us at hello@theseencollective.org to arrange a transfer.

Cancellations by The Seen Collective:

In the unlikely event that The Seen Collective must cancel a retreat due to circumstances beyond our control - including but not limited to natural disaster, venue closure, illness, or insufficient enrollment - you will receive a full refund of all payments made, including your deposit. The Seen Collective is not responsible for any additional costs incurred by participants, including flights, travel insurance, or accommodation booked independently.

If a retreat must be postponed rather than cancelled, participants will be offered the option to transfer their registration to the rescheduled date or receive a full refund.
