Clients who book transfers independently will need to take full responsibility for their transfers.

If you damage your room or any of the properties within your room, charges will apply.

You agree to sign a waiver with SEVA Retreats at least 30 days before your retreat Start Date.

You acknowledge that during any trip with SEVA Retreats, you participate voluntarily in any and all activities arranged, and insofar as is legally permissible, you surrender your right to any cause of action against SEVA Retreats, their agents, contractors, employees, and directors, arising from any loss or damage to any person or property that occurs during a SEVA Retreat up to and including death.
If you are currently pregnant, or under medical or psychiatric supervision, you must provide a Doctor’s certificate confirming your fitness to travel and take part in the retreat as well as notifying SEVA Retreats. SEVA Retreats is unfortunately not suitable for those with psychiatric or deep emotional issues, or those looking for counseling or therapy, as our team are not professionally qualified in these areas. Our team is also not medically trained and does not know your medical history so cannot offer any specific medical advice whilst at the retreat.
All health issues including allergies MUST be disclosed at the time of booking.
Our retreat is not suitable for children under the age of 18 years or for people with physical disabilities that cannot take care of themselves, as we do not have the resources or expertise to take on the responsibility to care for them.
Your Health and Wellbeing
Many health benefits are associated with regular exercise, a healthy diet, and therapy treatments. However, a small number of people should not participate in certain activities and should seek medical advice. In case of any doubt please consult a doctor before commencing physical activity/starting or receiving treatment.

All information provided on the website and any written and verbal form of correspondence is correct at the time of publication. However, due to mechanical faults, weather conditions, or what insurers call ‘Acts of God’, some amenities may be temporarily unavailable. Very occasionally, we may have to vary the advertised program due to staff sickness or other unforeseen problems, in which case we will always try to provide an equivalent replacement. This may not always be possible. For example, if one of our facilitators becomes unwell on day 3 of the retreat, it is likely that it will be too short notice to find another and the session might be changed. This is extremely rare but could happen. The same applies to any of the activities.
