Terms & Conditions for Renaissance Journey
-
Effective Date: July 23, 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to all retreats, wellness experiences, workshops, journeys, and other experiences organized by Renaissance Journey g.p. ("Renaissance Journey," "we," "us," or "our"), unless otherwise stated.
By registering for, making a payment toward, or participating in a Renaissance Journey experience, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, together with any other documents that apply to your booking.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By submitting a booking, paying a deposit or other amount, or otherwise registering for a Renaissance Journey experience, you confirm that you have had the opportunity to review the documents applicable to your booking and agree to be bound by them.
Depending on the experience, these documents may include:
These Terms and Conditions;
Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions or other experience-specific information;
The Release and Waiver of Liability;
The Cancellation, Refunds and Changes Policy; and
The Privacy Policy.
These documents, together with applicable pricing, payment schedules, room category information, inclusions, exclusions, itineraries, schedules, and other booking information provided during registration, form the agreement between the participant and Renaissance Journey.
Electronic acceptance, including checking an acceptance box or otherwise confirming agreement during the booking process, constitutes acceptance of the applicable documents.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived or excluded under applicable law.
2. Booking and Registration
Unless otherwise stated for a particular experience, a CAD $500 deposit is required to reserve a space.
A reservation is confirmed only after Renaissance Journey has received the required payment and issued written confirmation.
The deposit forms part of the total retreat price and is not an additional fee.
Payment deadlines, installment options, promotional deadlines, room categories, and other booking conditions will be identified on the applicable retreat page or in the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions.
Participants are responsible for:
providing complete and accurate registration information;
reviewing the booking documents before confirming their reservation; and
making all required payments by the applicable deadlines.
3. Nature of Renaissance Journey Services
Renaissance Journey creates and organizes wellness, cultural, and experiential journeys by coordinating independent accommodation providers, transportation providers, guides, activity operators, and other third-party service providers, together with programs and activities provided or organized by Renaissance Journey.
Accommodation, transportation, excursions, guided activities, meals, and other services included in a Renaissance Journey experience may be provided directly by independent third-party suppliers. Renaissance Journey does not own or operate the hotels, transportation companies, restaurants, excursion operators, or other third-party facilities or services used during the experience, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Where a service is provided by a third-party supplier, that supplier remains responsible for delivering its own services in accordance with its applicable terms, requirements, safety procedures, and operating standards. Renaissance Journey coordinates the overall experience but does not represent itself as the provider of services supplied directly by independent third parties.
Participants acknowledge that the price of a Renaissance Journey experience may include amounts attributable to third-party services selected and coordinated as part of the experience, together with Renaissance Journey's own programming, organization, coordination, and services.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any obligation or liability that Renaissance Journey may have under applicable Canadian or Québec law.
4. Prices and Payment
All prices are displayed in the currency indicated on the applicable retreat page.
The total price depends on the selected retreat and room category.
Participants may choose one of the following payment options, where available.
A. Full Payment
The participant may pay the entire retreat price at the time of booking.
Where applicable, payment completed before the published Early Bird deadline qualifies for the applicable promotional pricing.
B. Deposit and Scheduled Automatic Balance Payment
The participant may reserve a space by paying the required CAD $500 deposit and authorizing Renaissance Journey or its payment processor to charge the remaining balance to the same payment method used for the deposit on the applicable payment date.
Participants may instead choose to make one or more additional payments before the applicable payment deadline, provided the entire balance is paid in full by the applicable Early Bird or final payment deadline, as applicable.
Participants who wish to update their payment method or modify their payment arrangement may contact Renaissance Journey at info@renaissance-journey.com before the applicable payment deadline. Any revised payment arrangement remains subject to payment in full by the applicable Early Bird or final payment deadline in order to retain any promotional pricing for which the participant is eligible.
If the scheduled payment cannot be processed, is declined, cancelled, or otherwise fails, the participant may lose eligibility for promotional pricing and the Regular Price may apply unless Renaissance Journey agrees otherwise in writing.
C. Deposit with Flexible Payments
The participant may reserve a space by paying the required CAD $500 deposit and make additional payments at any time, provided the entire retreat balance is paid by the applicable final payment deadline.
Unless otherwise stated on the applicable retreat page or in the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions, the final payment deadline is 90 days before the scheduled retreat start date.
For clarity, the final payment deadline is separate from any Early Bird payment deadline. Participants who wish to qualify for Early Bird pricing must pay the remaining balance in full by the applicable Early Bird payment deadline. Participants who do not qualify for or choose not to take advantage of Early Bird pricing may continue making payments until the final payment deadline, at which time the entire remaining balance becomes due.
Failure to pay the remaining balance by the applicable final payment deadline may result in cancellation of the reservation in accordance with the Cancellation, Refunds and Changes Policy.
Payments may be processed through Stripe or other payment methods made available by Renaissance Journey.
5. Contractual currency and Currency Conversion
The contractual retreat price is the price displayed in the currency identified on the applicable retreat page.
Participants who choose to pay in another currency authorize Renaissance Journey and its payment processor to convert the payment amount using the exchange rate in effect when each payment is processed.
Accordingly:
payments converted into another currency may vary because of exchange rate fluctuations;
Renaissance Journey does not guarantee any exchange rate;
Renaissance Journey is not responsible for foreign transaction fees, bank charges, currency conversion fees, or similar charges imposed by financial institutions or payment providers; and
Where a refund is payable, Renaissance Journey will process the refund in the currency of the original payment. If the participant paid in a currency different from the currency in which the retreat price was originally stated, the participant acknowledges that the amount received after currency conversion may differ due to exchange-rate fluctuations.
The participant is responsible for any currency conversion fees, foreign transaction fees, payment processing fees, bank charges, or other administrative fees imposed by their bank, card issuer, payment provider, or resulting from the processing of the refund, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Renaissance Journey is not responsible for any exchange-rate differences, currency conversion losses, or third-party fees arising between the original payment and the refund date.
6. Promotional and Early Bird Pricing
From time to time, Renaissance Journey may offer Early Bird pricing, promotional pricing, promotional codes, or other discounts.
Unless expressly stated otherwise:
promotions apply only during the published promotional period;
promotions cannot be combined unless specifically permitted;
promotions are not retroactive;
promotions have no cash value;
promotions are non-transferable; and
Renaissance Journey may correct pricing errors before confirming a reservation.
A participant may qualify for Early Bird pricing by:
paying the full retreat price before the applicable Early Bird deadline;
paying the required deposit and authorizing the scheduled balance payment before the applicable Early Bird payment deadline; or
paying the required deposit and completing payment in full before the applicable Early Bird payment deadline.
Where the participant reserves a space during the Early Bird promotional period using flexible payments, any applicable Early Bird discount will be applied to the final payment that completes payment of the retreat in full.
If payment is not completed by the applicable Early Bird deadline, the reservation will automatically revert to the Regular Price.
7. Participant Responsibilities and Code of Conduct
Participants are expected to conduct themselves respectfully toward other participants, instructors, guides, accommodation providers, local communities, and service providers.
Participants agree to:
comply with applicable laws and local regulations;
follow reasonable safety instructions;
respect accommodation rules and activity requirements;
treat people and property respectfully; and
refrain from behaviour that is abusive, discriminatory, threatening, violent, or seriously disruptive.
Participants may be denied access to or participation in Renaissance Journey facilities, accommodations, hotels, premises, spaces, activities, excursions, or other components of the experience where their conduct, condition, or circumstances reasonably raise a safety or operational concern. Any return to or participation in such facilities, accommodations, premises, spaces, activities, excursions, or other components will require prior assessment and authorization by the Renaissance Journey retreat leaders and must be expressly confirmed in writing by Renaissance Journey.
Where reasonably necessary to protect participants or others, Renaissance Journey may refuse or terminate a participant's participation if their conduct creates a safety risk, materially disrupts the experience, causes significant property damage, violates applicable law, or materially breaches these Terms.
Where permitted by applicable law, participants removed because of their own misconduct will not be entitled to a refund for the affected portion of the experience.
8. Health and Wellness Activities
Experiences may include yoga, meditation, breathwork, hiking, swimming, fitness classes, dance, cultural activities, adventure activities, excursions, and other physical or wellness activities.
Certain activities may form an integral part of the Renaissance Journey experience and are designed to be experienced as part of the program. Participants are expected to take part in these activities unless circumstances beyond their reasonable control prevent them from doing so. Any such circumstance should be communicated as soon as reasonably possible to the retreat leader in charge.
Participation in individual activities may be adapted or excused where reasonably necessary due to safety concerns, physical limitations, illness, injury, or other circumstances communicated to and assessed by the retreat leader.
Participants are responsible for determining whether they are physically and medically able to participate.
Participants should consult an appropriate healthcare professional before participating if they have any medical condition, injury, pregnancy, physical limitation, allergy, or other circumstance that may affect their participation.
Participants should immediately stop or modify any activity if they believe continuing would be unsafe and should inform the retreat leader in charge as soon as reasonably possible.
Participants should advise Renaissance Journey of any medical, accessibility, dietary, allergy, pregnancy, or other information reasonably necessary to facilitate their participation.
Participation is also subject to the applicable Release and Waiver of Liability.
9. Travel Documents and Entry Requirements
Participants are solely responsible for verifying and obtaining all travel documents and requirements applicable to their individual circumstances, including valid passports, visas, entry permits, health documentation, vaccinations, transit requirements, and any other requirements established by the destination country, airline, transportation provider, or governmental authority.
Renaissance Journey does not provide immigration, visa, airline, or travel-document advice and does not represent or guarantee that a participant will meet the requirements for travel, transit, boarding, or entry into any country. Participants are responsible for obtaining information directly from the relevant governmental authorities, embassies, consulates, airlines, and other appropriate official sources before travelling.
Renaissance Journey does not guarantee admission into any country, boarding on any flight or other transportation, or compliance with any entry or travel requirement. Renaissance Journey is not responsible for losses, costs, delays, denied boarding, denied entry, cancellations, or other consequences resulting from a participant's failure to verify, obtain, or comply with applicable travel or entry requirements.
Renaissance Journey will be responsible only to the extent that applicable Canadian or Québec law expressly imposes a responsibility or liability on Renaissance Journey that cannot legally be excluded or limited by these Terms.
Participants remain responsible for verifying that all information and documentation they provide to Renaissance Journey is accurate, complete, and current.
10. Travel Insurance
Participants are strongly encouraged to obtain comprehensive travel insurance covering the full duration of the Renaissance Journey experience, including travel to and from the destination.
Depending on their individual circumstances and the terms of their policy, participants may consider coverage for:
trip cancellation and interruption;
emergency medical expenses;
emergency medical evacuation and repatriation;
baggage loss, theft or delay;
travel delays and missed connections;
personal liability; and
activities and excursions included in the Renaissance Journey experience.
Participants are responsible for reviewing their insurance policy, including its coverage, exclusions, deductibles, limitations and conditions, and for determining whether it adequately meets their individual needs and circumstances.
Renaissance Journey does not provide travel insurance and does not guarantee or represent that any particular insurance policy will cover a participant's circumstances, expenses, losses, cancellations, interruptions or claims. Insurance claims remain solely between the participant and their insurer.
11. Accommodation
Accommodation arrangements vary depending on the retreat and room category selected.
Room types, occupancy, inclusions, and accommodation conditions are described in the applicable retreat information.
Room assignments are subject to availability.
Requests for specific rooms, beds, roommates, or room arrangements will be accommodated where reasonably possible but cannot be guaranteed unless confirmed in writing.
Participants selecting shared accommodation acknowledge that they will share accommodation with other participants and agree to respect roommates, accommodation providers, and applicable house rules.

Where circumstances beyond Renaissance Journey's reasonable control affect accommodation arrangements, Renaissance Journey may arrange reasonably comparable accommodation where practicable.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Renaissance Journey is not responsible for the independent acts, omissions, services, policies, or conduct of accommodation providers or other third parties.
12. Changes to the Experience
Renaissance Journey makes reasonable efforts to provide experiences substantially as described.
However, schedules, accommodations, instructors, transportation, activities, excursions, or other arrangements may change because of weather, safety concerns, government requirements, supplier availability, transportation disruptions, or other circumstances beyond Renaissance Journey's reasonable control.
Where reasonably possible, significant changes will be communicated to participants.
Any entitlement to cancellation, refunds, credits, or other remedies will be determined in accordance with applicable law and the applicable Cancellation, Refunds and Changes Policy.

14. Third-Party Service Providers
Renaissance Journey works with independent third-party suppliers, including accommodation providers, transportation companies, local guides, instructors, activity operators, restaurants, wellness professionals, and other service providers.
These providers may establish their own operational rules, eligibility requirements, safety procedures, and terms applicable to the services they provide.
Participants agree to comply with the reasonable requirements of those providers while participating in the experience.
Third-party providers are independent contractors and are responsible for the services they provide, including their operations, personnel, facilities, equipment, safety procedures, and applicable requirements. Renaissance Journey does not own, operate, control, or supervise the independent operations of these providers. To theextent permitted by applicable law, Renaissance Journey is not responsible for the independent acts, omissions, negligence, services, policies, conditions, or conduct of third-party providers, except where Renaissance Journey is legally responsible for its own acts or omissions.

Each Renaissance Journey retreat may have Additional Terms and Conditions that apply specifically to that retreat.
These additional terms form an integral part of the agreement between Renaissance Journey and the participant and must be read together with these General Terms and Conditions.
Because each retreat may take place in a different country and may have different dates, payment requirements, cancellation conditions, accommodations, activities, and travel requirements, the applicable retreat-specific conditions will be provided in a separate Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex.
Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex
The applicable Annex will be available directly on the webpage for each Renaissance Journey retreat.
Before making a reservation, participants should review the Annex applicable to their selected retreat.
The Annex may contain specific information regarding the retreat dates, destination, deposit amount, payment schedule, payment deadlines, early-bird pricing, cancellation and refund conditions, accommodation conditions, minimum participant requirements, travel requirements, and other conditions specific to that retreat.
By making a reservation, the participant confirms that they have had the opportunity to review the General Terms and Conditions and the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex.
If there is a conflict between these General Terms and Conditions and the Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex, the Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex will prevail for that particular retreat.

1. Cancellation by the Participant
Participants who wish to cancel their reservation must submit their cancellation request in writing to Renaissance Journey, using the contact information provided on the website.
The cancellation date will be the date on which Renaissance Journey receives the written cancellation request.
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex, the following cancellation schedule applies:
More than 120 days before the retreat: CAD $500 will be retained from the amounts paid toward the reservation.
Between 120 and 91 days before the retreat: 20% of the total retreat price will be retained.
Between 90 and 61 days before the retreat: 50% of the total retreat price will be retained.
60 days or less before the retreat: 100% of the total retreat price will be retained and no refund will be provided, except where required by applicable law.
The applicable cancellation amount reflects costs and commitments associated with organizing and reserving the experience, including amounts committed to accommodation providers, transportation providers, activity providers, guides, restaurants, venues, and other third-party suppliers.
When a participant cancels, any amount remaining after the applicable cancellation amount has been deducted will be refundable, subject to the applicable terms and applicable law.
Personal circumstances, illness, changes in personal plans, travel difficulties, or inability to attend the retreat do not automatically entitle a participant to a refund beyond the amount provided under the applicable cancellation schedule, except where required by applicable law.
Participants are strongly encouraged to obtain comprehensive travel insurance, including trip cancellation, trip interruption, medical, emergency evacuation, and baggage coverage, as appropriate for their destination and circumstances.2. Rescheduling a Reservation
Instead of cancelling their reservation, a participant may request to reschedule their reservation to another Renaissance Journey experience or future date.
Rescheduling is subject to availability and must be requested in writing and approved by Renaissance Journey. A rescheduling request is not effective until Renaissance Journey has provided written confirmation.
Where approved, Renaissance Journey may allow the participant to transfer the amounts already paid toward a future Renaissance Journey experience, subject to the applicable availability, pricing, room category, supplier restrictions, and other conditions.
Any difference in price between the original reservation and the new experience or date will be payable by the participant. If the new experience or date has a lower price, any difference will not automatically be refundable and will be subject to the terms confirmed by Renaissance Journey in writing.
Rescheduling does not automatically preserve promotional pricing, Early Bird pricing, room category, or other special conditions unless expressly confirmed in writing by Renaissance Journey.
Rescheduling requests made 60 days or less before the scheduled retreat start date may be subject to additional restrictions or may not be available, depending on commitments already made to third-party suppliers.
Once a rescheduling request has been approved and confirmed in writing, the reservation will be subject to the cancellation and change terms applicable to the new experience or date.3. Refunds
Where a participant is entitled to a refund under the applicable cancellation terms, the refund will be processed using the original payment method where reasonably possible.
Refunds will be issued after Renaissance Journey has determined the applicable refundable amount and, where relevant, confirmed the amounts recoverable from third-party suppliers.
Any applicable non-refundable amounts, cancellation fees, administrative fees, or other charges expressly identified in the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex may be deducted from the amount otherwise refundable.
Where a payment was made in a currency other than the currency in which the retreat price was stated, any refund may be affected by exchange-rate fluctuations and currency-conversion charges imposed by the payment provider, financial institution, or card issuer, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Renaissance Journey will not be responsible for exchange-rate differences or fees charged by a participant's bank, credit card provider, or payment processor, except where required by applicable law.4. Transfer of Reservation
If a participant is unable to attend the retreat, they may request to transfer their reservation to another person.
Any transfer must be requested in writing and approved in advance by Renaissance Journey g.p. A transfer is not effective until Renaissance Journey has provided written confirmation.
Transfers are subject to availability, the requirements and restrictions of accommodation providers, transportation providers, activity providers, and other suppliers, as well as any applicable administrative fees, price differences, or other charges.
The replacement participant must satisfy all applicable eligibility, registration, payment, travel, and other requirements for the retreat.
The original participant remains responsible for all outstanding amounts and applicable charges until the transfer has been officially confirmed in writing by Renaissance Journey.
A transfer does not automatically preserve promotional pricing, Early Bird pricing, room category, or other special conditions unless expressly confirmed by Renaissance Journey.5. Unused Services
No refund or credit will be provided for services or components of the retreat that a participant voluntarily chooses not to use, including, where applicable, late arrival, early departure, missed activities, unused accommodation, unused meals, missed transportation, or other unused services, except where required by applicable law or expressly provided in the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex.
Participants are responsible for arriving at the designated locations at the times communicated by Renaissance Journey or the relevant service provider. Renaissance Journey is not responsible for a participant's failure to attend or use a service due to personal scheduling decisions, delays, or failure to follow the information provided, subject to applicable law.6. Late Arrival
Participants who anticipate arriving after the scheduled retreat start time must notify Renaissance Journey as soon as reasonably possible.
Late arrivals may be accommodated only if arranged and approved in advance by Renaissance Journey. Approval cannot be guaranteed and will depend on the retreat itinerary, location, transportation logistics, accommodation arrangements, safety considerations, and other operational requirements.
Because the retreat program may include travel between locations during the experience, participants arriving after the scheduled start may be required to join the group at a different location. Where this occurs, the participant is solely responsible for arranging and paying for all transportation and other additional expenses required to reach the group, unless Renaissance Journey agrees otherwise in writing.
If the group has already departed a location or an activity, Renaissance Journey cannot guarantee that the participant will be able to join the group, participate in the missed activity, or access the accommodation or other services at that time.
Renaissance Journey will make reasonable efforts to accommodate late arrivals where practicable but does not guarantee that any activities, accommodations, transportation, meals, excursions, or other retreat components missed as a result of a late arrival can be provided, rescheduled, or replaced.
No refund, credit, price reduction, or other compensation will be provided for any accommodation, meals, activities, transportation, excursions, or other services missed due to a participant's late arrival, except where required by applicable law.
A late arrival does not extend the participant's reservation or the scheduled duration of the retreat, and missed portions of the experience will not be added to the end of the retreat.
7. Cancellation or Modification by Renaissance Journey
Renaissance Journey intends to operate each retreat substantially as described on the applicable retreat page and in the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex. However, circumstances may arise that require Renaissance Journey to modify, postpone, relocate, or cancel a retreat or one or more of its components.
Where Renaissance Journey makes a significant change to an essential component of a retreat or cancels a retreat, participants will be informed as soon as reasonably possible and will be provided with the options available under the circumstances and applicable law.
Depending on the circumstances, available options may include accepting a reasonable alternative arrangement, transferring the reservation to another date or retreat where offered, receiving a credit, or receiving a refund of amounts to which the participant is entitled under the applicable terms and applicable law.
Where a refund is applicable, the amount may depend on the amounts already paid to and recoverable from third-party suppliers, the services already provided, the circumstances giving rise to the change or cancellation, and applicable legal requirements.
Renaissance Journey will make reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of any necessary change or cancellation and to communicate material changes promptly. However, Renaissance Journey cannot guarantee that all services, activities, accommodations, transportation, schedules, or other components will remain unchanged.8. Changes to Individual Retreat Components
Renaissance Journey may make reasonable changes to the itinerary, activities, accommodation, transportation arrangements, schedules, locations, or other non-essential components of a retreat where necessary due to operational requirements, availability, weather, safety considerations, supplier changes, local conditions, or other circumstances beyond Renaissance Journey's reasonable control.
Where reasonably possible, Renaissance Journey will seek to provide an alternative arrangement of comparable value or nature. Such changes will not automatically entitle a participant to a refund unless required by applicable law or expressly provided under the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex.9. Force Majeure and Circumstances Beyond Reasonable Control
Renaissance Journey will not be responsible for delays, interruptions, modifications, additional costs, or cancellation resulting from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, extreme weather, epidemics or pandemics, government actions or restrictions, political instability, civil unrest, strikes, transportation disruptions, supplier failures, changes in travel advisories, border restrictions, acts of terrorism, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Where such circumstances affect a retreat, Renaissance Journey will assess the available options and communicate them to participants as reasonably possible, subject to the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex, supplier terms, and applicable law.10. Retreat-Specific Cancellation and Refund Terms
Each retreat may have its own cancellation deadlines, refund conditions, payment schedule, rescheduling options, transfer rules, and other applicable terms based on the destination, accommodation, suppliers, activities, and other arrangements involved.
Where different cancellation or rescheduling conditions apply to a particular retreat, those conditions will be clearly set out in the Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex linked to the applicable retreat page and will apply to that reservation.
By making a reservation, participants acknowledge that they are responsible for reviewing the applicable Retreat-Specific Terms and Conditions Annex before completing their booking.Last Modification: July 27, 2026
