The programs, classes, expeditions and retreats offered by The Four Winds AG or The Four Winds Society, Inc. (“Four Winds” or “FWS” hereinafter) are intensive journeys of learning and transformation. In order to receive the full benefit of the programs, classes, expeditions and retreats, students must be committed to their journey. The following policies are intended to assist with a successful experience.
We ask that participants attending any of our offerings do so strictly for educational reasons and not to seek healing of any kind. Persons with health or psychiatric problems may find some programs physically and mentally trying and risky. We recommend that in case of doubt, a physician or mental health professional be consulted.
The Four Winds reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a participant at any time, and to make changes in the itinerary whenever deemed necessary for the comfort, convenience, and safety of our participants, and to cancel a program at any time.
Please refer to the Digistore terms and conditions upon registration that apply to all digital products and residential energy medicine trainings (except trainings held in Chile – see below for policies) sold by The Four Winds. Questions about these product terms and conditions can be directed to DigiStore24 at [email protected] or to The Four Winds [email protected].
The below terms and conditions apply to in-person programs sold by The Four Winds including residential training programs held in Chile and all expeditions.
Residential Program Tuition Policy (only for programs held in Chile, for all other locations see Digistore24 policy upon registration)
Registration: Registration will be considered confirmed upon receipt of your initial payment. Based on space available, The Four Winds will aim to facilitate student bookings at later dates if a class fills to capacity. In the rare circumstance that minimum class or event sizes are not reached, such event will be rescheduled, and all associated payments will remain in good standing.

If written cancellation is received between 59 and 45 days before the start date, FWS will retain a cancellation fee of 30% of the total program or event cost.
If the written cancellation is received between 44 and 30 days, inclusive, before the start date, FWS will retain a cancellation fee of 70% of the total program or event cost; and if the written cancellation is received between 29 and 1 day before the start, or if the participant fails to attend (no-show), the cancellation fee is 100% of the total program or event cost.
Any refunds approved according to the policy stated above, will be made no sooner than 45 days after receipt of the written cancellation notice. Notice of cancellation must be sent to [email protected].
In the case that fees for accommodations are paid directly to the hotel or retreat center, the cancelation policy of that hotel or retreat center will apply.
