11.  REQUIRED INSURANCE

LLC requires that each attendee purchase individual travel and trip cancellation insurance in advance of the Retreat. In particular, due to the inherently risky nature of international travel as shown during the COVID-19 global public health emergency, LLC recommends a “Cancel For Any Reason” provision in the policy. It is Participant’s responsibility to ensure adequate insurance coverage for the duration of the Retreat regarding accident, injury, illness, death, emergency evacuation and repatriation, loss of personal items, cancellation, curtailment, worldwide emergency assistance, and all other contingencies. No insurance is provided for Participant by LLC nor by the retreat center. You must email a valid copy of your certificate of coverage for said insurance to LLC at wanderlustandwellnessretreats@gmail.com within 14 days of paying the Reservation Deposit; Participant’s spot in the Retreat shall not be saved until LLC receives this certificate of coverage.

to the Destination Country and to learn about and comply with any and all laws, criminal and otherwise, in effect in Destination Country.

You understand and agree that participating in Yoga, Fitness, and/or any other activity during the Retreat is completely voluntary, in your sole discretion, and at your own risk.
