We've now set up our new booking system on our current website, so you'll notice that the booking forms look a little bit different.
You won't need to log in to book a retreat anymore, and any retreats that you book now won't appear on your website profile, so message us if you want to find out what retreats you have done in the past.
For more information on these changes see this:
- Easy to book onto retreats
- Easy to navigate
- Attractive, inspiring and helpful
All being well, the new site will go live in early 2024.
The 2024 programme is currently being distributed around the world and 2024 retreats are open for booking on our website.
