By accessing this site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and agree to use it lawfully and respectfully.

2. Use of Website Content

All content on this website — including text, images, videos, and downloads — is the intellectual property of Rachel Bednarski, unless stated otherwise.

You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any material without prior written consent.

You are welcome to share links to my content publicly as long as it's credited and not used for commercial purposes.

3. External Links and Third-Party Tools

⚠️ Needs your confirmation before publishing — this list must reflect your actual current tools, not what was previously here:

This website may include links to third-party platforms such as:

  • [Confirm: Systeme.io? Acuity Scheduling? FG Funnels? ManyChat? — list only what's actually in current use]

Each of these services has its own privacy policy and terms, which govern your interactions with them.

I am not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of these external sites.

4. Payments, Cancellations, and Refunds

Payments for classes, workshops, ceremonies, or coaching sessions are processed securely through [confirmed current payment processors — e.g. Stripe via Systeme.io / FG Funnels].

For live sessions (including online classes, ceremonies, and 1:1 sessions):

  • Cancellations: You may cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours in advance.

  • Late cancellations or no-shows: Unfortunately, these are non-refundable.

  • Refunds: If a class or session is cancelled by me, you will receive a full refund or be offered an alternative date.

If you purchase a digital product (e.g. an online course or download), all sales are final unless otherwise stated at the point of purchase.

Health/safety, liability, and any offer-specific details beyond the above are set out in the Purchase & Participant Agreement provided at the time of purchase for that specific offer. Please read the relevant agreement before purchasing.

5. Privacy

Your privacy is important to me. Please read my [Privacy Policy] to understand how your personal data is collected and used.

Some pages or posts on this website may include affiliate links.

This means I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase through those links — at no extra cost to you.

I only share products, services, or resources that I genuinely use, value, or believe will support your wellbeing and growth.

 

 

 

Booking Soma Rising Retreats/ Retreat Holidays

  • A deposit of £200 is required to secure your place on the retreat.

Cancellation Policy

  • If you cancel more than 90 days before the retreat start date, any payments made beyond the deposit will be refunded, less a £50 administration fee and any unrecoverable costs already paid to suppliers on your behalf.

  • If you cancel 90 days or less before the retreat start date, some or all monies paid may be retained, and any outstanding balance may still be payable, to the extent necessary to cover losses and unrecoverable supplier costs arising from your cancellation. If your place can be filled, I will always aim to reduce losses where reasonably possible.
     

General Retreat Terms

  • We are a small business, and while we understand that cancellations can be deeply disappointing, these terms are needed because accommodation, venue, and supplier costs are often committed in advance. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you take out suitable travel insurance at the time of booking and ensure you have a valid passport and any other required travel documents.

  • If Sara Smyth Wellbeing / Soma Rising Retreats cancels a retreat, all monies paid to us for the retreat will be refunded. However, we cannot be responsible for third-party costs not booked directly with us, such as flights, transport, accommodation outside the retreat, insurance premiums, or other personal expenses.

  • If the named teacher is unexpectedly unable to attend, we reserve the right to provide a suitably qualified substitute teacher or make another reasonable change to the programme.

  • If the retreat is affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disaster, government action, travel disruption, illness outbreak, or venue closure, we will communicate with you as soon as possible and set out the options reasonably available at that time, which may include transfer, credit, partial refund, or refund of sums recovered from suppliers. Please ensure your insurance covers these risks.

  • Your statutory rights are not affected.

By booking an appointment, retreat, or event, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms.
