COVID-19 Recommendations and Guidelines
TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance to cover the nonrefundable costs of your trip, including the retreat fee. Travel insurance can reimburse nonrefundable trip costs if unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending the retreat, or if you change your mind. See below for more information.
Standard Travel Insurance: Travel insurance generally costs between 5% and 10% of the amount you are insuring, and it reimburses 100% of your nonrefundable costs if you cancel your trip for a covered reason (e.g., a doctor-documented illness that prevents travel). It also covers certain costs in the case of trip delay, trip interruption, and medical expenses should you get sick while traveling. Check for policies that cover COVID-related travel problems.
“Cancel for Any Reason” Option: You may also want to consider adding “Cancel for Any Reason” (CFAR) coverage to your policy. CFAR coverage generally adds 40-50% to the cost of the policy and reimburses 50-75% of your insured trip cost, allowing you to cancel your trip for any reason, including if you simply change your mind.
Act quickly for CFAR: Check your policy for the deadline for adding the CFAR option. CFAR usually needs to be added within 10 or 14 days of your initial trip payment or trip deposit.

CONSIDER REFUNDABLE AIRFARE: We recommend purchasing a refundable fare to give yourself maximum flexibility. Most airlines are now offering fully refundable fares for a reasonable price differential ($50 to $90). If you book a refundable fare, there’s no need to include your airfare on your travel insurance policy. If you need to cancel your trip, you’ll work directly with the airline to claim your refund, and you will avoid the middleman (i.e., the insurance company).
TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHILE TRAVELING: We ask that all retreat participants please take precautions while traveling, including wearing a mask (preferably a KN95).
