Terms & Conditions

​Effective Date: 30 June 2026

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully before booking your place at The Lakes Edge Men’s Retreat (referred to below as "the Retreat," "we," "us," or "our"). By completing your registration and submitting payment, you agree to be bound by these terms.

 

1. Bookings and Payment

• Payment Options: To officially secure your spot at the Retreat, you must either make payment in full at the time of booking or be approved for a structured payment plan. We operate strictly on a limited-capacity basis, and positions cannot be held without cleared full payment or an activated payment plan.

• Payment Plans Available on Application: If you require a payment plan to spread the cost of the retreat, you may request this during your brief application process. Approval and the specific schedule of installments are agreed upon in writing before your spot is locked in.

• Currency: All pricing is listed and processed in Australian Dollars (AUD).

 

2. Cancellation and Refund Policy

Because we commit non-refundable deposits to the venue, catering team, and logistics months in advance, we enforce a strict refund policy:

• Non-Refundable: All payments—including full payments, initial deposits, and any subsequent payment plan installments—are strictly non-refundable. If you choose to cancel, drop out, or fail to attend the Retreat for any reason (including personal emergencies, illness, unexpected work commitments, or travel delays), no refunds will be issued and any outstanding payment plan balances must still be fulfilled as agreed.

• Fully Transferable: While payments are non-refundable, they are 100% transferable. If you cannot attend, you may transfer your booking (and your payment history/plan) to a mate or another person, provided they meet the criteria for the retreat container.

  • Notice Requirement: You must notify us in writing via email at least 7 days prior to the start date of the Retreat with the full name and contact details of the person taking your spot. No transfer fees apply.

 

3. Health, Safety, and Medical Liability

• Physical and Mental Readiness: Our retreats involve physical movement (Asana), intense breathwork, active Kriya practices, and deep group processing. By booking, you warrant that you are physically fit and mentally capable of participating in these activities.

• Duty to Disclose: You must accurately disclose any pre-existing physical injuries, medical conditions, or mental health concerns on your registration/intake form prior to arrival.

• Assumption of Risk: Participation in all activities at the Retreat is voluntary. You acknowledge that you assume full responsibility for your own physical health, well-being, and safety during the event, and agree to hold us blameless for any injury or exacerbation of a condition that occurs.

 

4. Event Cancellation or Postponement by Us

• In the highly unlikely event that we must cancel the Retreat due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control (such as extreme weather events, venue destruction, or facilitator emergency), we will offer you the choice of:

  1. A full transfer of your payment to the rescheduled retreat dates.

  2. A full credit voucher to be used for future events or programs.

• We are not responsible for any personal travel expenses, flights, or external logistics lost due to a cancellation or postponement.

 

5. Code of Conduct and Confidentiality

• The Container: To maintain a high-impact, secure environment for all attendees, we expect every participant to treat others with respect, confidentiality, and integrity.

• Right of Removal: We reserve the right to ask any participant to leave the Retreat immediately, without refund or compensation, if their behavior is deemed disruptive, unsafe, or breaches the confidentiality of the group container.

 

6. Governing Law

The laws of Victoria, Australia, govern these Terms & Conditions, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
