Cancellation Policy (General)
Cancellations can be submitted directly through your Blossom Foundation profile. Log in, go to your registrations, and follow the prompts to cancel. You may cancel for yourself or for family members and friends linked to your account.
For solo registration, the primary registrant may cancel their own registration.
For group registrations, the primary registrant may:
Cancel for themselves and any linked friends or family, or
Cancel only for linked friends and family while keeping their own registration active.
However, the primary registrant cannot cancel their own registration while keeping any linked friends or family registered.
Refunds can take up to 7 business days and will be processed only to the same payment card used for the original payment. Your bank or card provider may take additional time to reflect the refund in your account.
Registration After Cancellations
If a retreat sells out and spots later become available due to cancellations, those spots are offered through a separate registration opportunity. This allows you to register for a retreat that was previously full.
Registration against cancellations opens on a set date after the cancellation cutoff deadline has passed. The number of available spots will match the number of cancellations received for that retreat.
You will receive advance notice before this registration window opens; an email will be sent to subscribers 48 hours before the registration against cancellations begins so you can be ready for registration.
You will have a 24-hour refund window after booking a spot through registration against cancellations. After 24 hours, these purchases are non-refundable.
The registration process is the same as for any retreat: you must have an approved Blossom Foundation profile, select the retreat (if spots are available), review and e-sign the terms, and complete payment.
We strongly recommend you to complete your profile in advance. Creating and verifying your profile well ahead of time gives you the best chance of registering successfully when these opportunities open.
