Deposits
All deposits will be refunded if we have to cancel courses.
If you cancel your course because of Covid, we will refund the deposit.
In all other cases the deposit is NOT refunded for upto the first two weeks of your retreat.
Finally!
People may have all sorts of reasons for not staying for the full course. They may have plausible reasons to leave early. Even so if you know you cannot stay the course, please do NOT come. If you do come, you may be denying someone a full course.
These are the reasons for staying the whole course:
Firstly, the group creates an atmosphere of support. It is selfish to take only what one wants. Others need our support as we do theirs. It can be discouraging to see people leave, often without being able to say goodbye because of the rules of silence. As the group loses members so does its energy lessen. This is more evident when the group is small. There it is a responsibility, driven by metta/care, not to abandon a group.
Secondly, this entails developing the Sacca Parami, the Perfection of honesty. Part of this virtue is that one completes a commitment save in extraordinary circumstance or emergency. Keeping to our word is necessary in any walk of life, let alone for spiritual development.
Thirdly, a course is designed to be completed. There are exercises at the end which help vipassana insights be translated into relationships and daily life.
Many thanks.
