Terms & Conditions

Refund policy - (only applies to public courses, workshops and retreats)

 

Refunds for 8 week, 5 week and 6 week courses

We are confident you will find the course engaging and that you have enrolled knowing that the course invites your own self-exploration.   

Fees will be refunded (less $50) if you withdraw 48 hours or more before the first class. If you have had your pre-course interview with your teacher you will be refunded less ($80).  Fees will be refunded (less $100) if you withdraw the day before the first class or after session 1 (if you decide the course is not for you). After this class, fees are not refundable.

Transfers for 8 week courses

If you are booked into a course and wish to transfer before the course start date, we require 48 hours notice or more to transfer to another course. If you have received your pre-course interview, there will be a $50 transfer fee.

We do not offer transfers to a subsequent course once the course has started. If you wish to withdraw from your current course part way through, you will be offered a 50% discount off the course fee for the following term.

 

Refunds for Retreats and Workshops

Cancellations received up to or before 1 month before the event – the fee will be refunded less $110.
Cancellations received up to 10 working days before the event – 50% of the fee will be refunded.
Cancellations received 10 working days or less before the event – no refund will be made. 

COVID-19

If you are unable to attend the retreat due to having COVID or the need to self-isolate, then you will have the choice to receive a refund minus $100, or transfer to another retreat.  However if the notification of your non-attendance is very late, we may have to charge you for the catering and/or the accommodation fee as well (if Openground is charged for this).

If the retreat is going ahead, but you decide not to attend for your own personal reasons, then you will not be eligible for a refund. Also, please note that Openground is not responsible for your travel arrangements that may or may not be impacted by attending the retreat.

Day of mindfulness and urban retreat

The Day of Mindfulness and the Urban Retreat is non-refundable and non-transferable.
