ASKED QUESTIONS
Are meals included, and can you accommodate specific dietary needs?
Yes, meals are included with most of our retreats and getaways. Were really keen on serving up healthy, fresh grub made with organic ingredients whenever we can. Before you arrive, we'll send you a quick message to confirm any allergies, intolerances or special dietary requests you may have - we'll do our best to cater to them or let you know if it's not possible so you can get the most out of your time with us.
What's your refund and cancellation policy?
If you're unable to make it to one of our retreats or getaways, just give us a shout 2 weeks before and we'll do our best to fill the spot. We'll refund the balance if we can resell the spot, or work with you to find a new date that works for everyone. If there are extenuating circumstances, we'll sort it out on a case-by-case basis. And if we're the ones having to cancel for any reason, we'll make a full refund.
Do you offer payment plans or installments?
Yes, we're happy to work with you to find a payment plan that fits your needs. We don't want money to be a barrier to anyone joining us to work on their health and wellbeing. So if a different payment schedule would work better for you, just let us know and we'll see what we can do.
What's your policy on booze, smoking and other substances?
To keep everyone safe and happy, we don't allow any booze or substances on site. And we ask that you don't smoke inside our cabins or communal areas - just hang out outside and take in the beautiful view. We also ask that you properly dispose of any cigarette butts so we can keep our woodland environment looking as lovely as possible.
What are the accommodation options like?
We've got two main options for you:
-
Woodland Cabin: This is a shared, open-plan cabin that's designed for relaxation. On residential retreats, men and women share the same space, with access to a separate loo block.\
-
Private Studio: This is a self-contained studio with its own king-size bed, wardrobe and wet room bathroom. You can book this as part of a retreat or as a private residence for as long as you like.
RETREAT FAQ'S
GENERAL FAQ'S
Is there Wi-Fi and mobile reception available?
Yes, we've got Wi-Fi available, and most mobile phone carriers get a signal. But we'd love it if you could keep your phone on silent and take some time to unplug - we think it's a great way to tune in to yourself and tune out from the rest of the world. Just in case of an emergency, one of the CAIM owners will always be available for you to contact.
Can I bring my pet along?
Unfortunately, we don't allow pets in general - except for service animals, of course. If you've got a service animal, just let us know in advance and we'll make sure to make you and your furry friend feel welcome.
What should I pack for my visit?
Don't worry, we'll send you an info pack with a list of what to bring a bit before you arrive. But basically, just pack for the great outdoors - whether it's summer or winter, we recommend bringing waterproof gear, wellies and comfy walking shoes.
Can I buy a gift voucher for someone to come along?
Yes, you can buy gift vouchers for any amount and use them towards any of our offerings. We can email them to the recipient or post them out in a nice package.
Can I just pop in for a visit or tour?
Sorry, we don't have an open door policy, so we can't let you drop in without a scheduled visit.
Can I bring the kids along?
Most of our stuff is geared towards adults, but we do have some family-friendly events, like our Wheel of the Year gatherings, where kids are welcome to come along with a grown-up.
