You’re planning the retreat of your dreams. But if someone cancels, gets hurt, or files a complaint…
Could your business survive it?
Don't let legal mistakes turn it into a nightmare. The truth is: most new retreat hosts are so focused on the itinerary, they forget the legal.
And that’s where it can all fall apart.
✨ The retreat location is stunning

But there’s one thing no one’s really talking about: the legal side.
What if someone cancels and demands a refund?
What if a guest gets hurt during a group activity
What if you’re hosting in another country... and something goes wrong?
