Art and Prayer Retreat Policies and Fees 2023 1) Karen and I are pleased to be able to offer this art retreat as a time for rest and spiritual renewal for participants. We will provide the art supplies for you to freely use and enjoy at no cost. There is also no fee for our time and expertise. 2) In light of our desire to support public health efforts during pandemic, we request that all participants please conduct an at-home ATK test within 24 hours previous to your arrival at the retreat, take a photo of the test results and text it to Kit with your name, and the date and time. If your test comes back positive, or if you have symptoms that could be attributable to COVID19 or RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), please kindly protect others by not attending the retreat. If this occurs, I will return your full payment, and personally assume any hotel-related costs that are incurred. It is important that we all take precautions to protect one another's health and well-being. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. 3) This retreat is for adults (or mature teens) to have an opportunity for spiritual growth, reflection, prayer, and exploring creative expression. The activities are not designed for the unique developmental needs of children. Also, I cannot ensure the safety of children in the art room. Therefore, children under 15 will not be permitted to enter the art room. If you plan to come with a child under 15, you must bring someone to provide childcare at all times and spend time with your child outside the art room. 4) The cost of the retreat is 2,800 Baht per person for the weekend, for a shared room. Should you wish to room alone, the fee will be 4,800 Baht for the weekend. You are expected to pay for the full weekend, even if you come for just one night (unless you arrange with a friend to take your place on the second night). If you come for Saturday only, the fee is 800 Baht per day. Full payment is required in advance of the retreat. If you do not make your payment within two weeks before the retreat starts, you could lose your retreat slot to someone on the waiting list. You may cancel up to 7 days prior to the retreat for a full refund. No refund will be given for cancellation within 6 days of the retreat (except for reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic). If these fees make it prohibitive for you to attend but you feel in need of this kind of spiritual renewal, please contact me directly to discuss the possibility of scholarship funding to cover half of the costs of your housing+meeting room expenses. It is a high value for me to try to make this experience financially accessible for those who wish to attend.
