Terms And Conditions

Culinary Course Refund Policy: We understand that these are trying and uncertain times. We are wholeheartedly here to support your growth and transformation on a deep and personal level and do not want to jeopardize your search for being a force for positive change within yourself, your family, and your community.

Although we do not offer any refunds for any reason, if you are unable to attend your Gaia Gourmet Culinary Training, you can transfer any payments made directly to us up until 30 days before your start date to a future retreat or training in any of our locations (depending on availability). The new course must be within 18 months of your original training start date. You may have to pay any increase in price, should our advertised prices be different at the time of the re-scheduling. You will not be eligible to apply for any early-bird rate should you need to change dates into the future. All locations have different room options, you may not be able to receive the same room accommodations with a transfer request, nor are there any partial refunds if your room option price has lowered due to the transfer.  We hope you will join us to cultivate optimal health and wellness. Namaste.

Note: Should Lakshmi Rising, Gaia Gourmet, Stay Well Portugal, and/or Stay Well Lifestyle LLC feel the need to change retreat venues, for any reason whatsoever, in order to protect the interest of the training, students, and/or faculty, they may do so without notice.
