We couldn't recommend solo travel more. It can feel scary but we promise you it'll be one of the best things you ever do! Plus, our job is to make sure you have the best time and make new connections (if you'd like to!). We've got beautiful group dinners, and lots of other things we'll do as a little Marnie Rays community. You're in the best hands.
If you cannot go on the trip, we can postpone your credit and payment for up to one year from the original booking date. This is only possible if you tell us at least 28 days prior to departure. You can only move your deposit once.
We pay all the accommodation, vendors, and staff way in advance before arrival, so no transfers can be made within the month of travel.
Also, we advise that you get some travel insurance!
Please note that deposits are non-refundable.
The balance will then need to be paid six weeks before the retreat starts. You will have the option to pay in monthly instalments.
