"Sonja’s authentic, warm, and generous spirit created a retreat space that was safe, welcoming, inclusive and supportive. I left the retreat feeling nurtured, rested, open hearted, connected and with renewed enthusiasm for the year to come. I'm looking forward to more of Sonja’s offerings." - Michelle Choma

Sonja’s retreat is the perfect ‘pause’ button: a moment where you allow yourself to sit in stillness, breathe and to be present. The retreat allowed me to focus on me, to tap into my creativity and to be surrounded by like-minded women in a safe and inclusive environment. This is a must for every woman. Give yourself permission to take care of YOU.” - Ilvana Damjanovic

“A physically relaxing and mentally rewarding experience – I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the yoga retreat and will definitely be attending the next one.” - Miriam Tane

Attendee Cancellation Policy

The Winter Beach Retreat is a boutique retreat. To make your experience as tailored and personal as possible, the retreats are limited to a maximum of 20 women.

If you choose to cancel, having another woman replace your cancellation becomes less likely as we come closer to a retreat date. My cancellation policy reflects this.

COVID-19 - If the COVID situation in Australia warrants the cancellation of events due to restrictions imposed by government or the hosting resort, 100% of your tuition will be refunded, or you may transfer the full amount to a future event or retreat.

Sonja Mapleston Retreats do not offer full tuition refunds inside 3 months from the date of the retreat. However, part of your payment may be used as credit for another retreat or online course to be taken within two years of your original retreat date.

The cancellation schedule is below:

• Cancelling more than 90 days before your retreat start date, your payment/s will be refunded less a $200 admin fee, or the full amount can be applied to a future retreat.

• Cancelling 60 – 89 days before your retreat start date, 75% of your payment may be applied to another Retreat. You will forfeit 25% of the price of your retreat.

• Cancelling 15 – 59 days before your retreat start date, 40% of your payment may be applied to another Retreat. You will forfeit 60% of the price of your retreat.

• Cancelling 14 days or less before your retreat start date, you will forfeit your entire payment.

Credits are not offered for a participant arriving late or leaving early.

Sonja Mapleston Cancellation Policy

In the unlikely circumstance that Sonja Mapleston has no option but to cancel a retreat, you may transfer your full retreat payment to another retreat or online course, or request a refund of your tuition payment, constituting a full settlement.

Sonja Mapleston is not responsible for your expenses incurred in preparation for any cancelled retreat, such as airline tickets, loss of work, and/or other costs associated with preparing for your trip.

Please contact Sonja if you have any questions at hello@sonjamapleston.com or on +61 488 122 185.
