If you choose to pay the deposit, the remaining workshop fee must be paid within 60 days. The final payment deadline is 1 September 2026.

Payment methods:

• Credit or debit card

Accommodation, meals, transfers, and local experiences are not included in the workshop fee and are paid separately at the retreat center upon arrival.

According to our General Terms and Conditions, a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 is required to secure your spot in the workshop. The following cancellation terms apply to the workshop fee:

• • 50% of the workshop price will be refunded for cancellations made between 45 and 69 days before the event start date.
  • 10% of the workshop price will be refunded for cancellations made 44 days or less before the event start date.

The amount will be returned the same way the payment was made.

If you need to cancel, but you find another person to take your place, this person will be able to participate without incurring any additional costs.

If we need to change the dates of the retreat due to circumstances on our side (such as trainer illness), and you are unable to attend the new dates, we will refund 100% of the workshop fee.

In the unlikely event of a natural disaster, war or other unexpected events beyond our control, we may not be able to refund your money. To avoid losing money, we recommend purchasing personal insurance including such events.

We are not responsible for cancelling or moving the flight dates. Please buy flight insurance in order not to lose the money for your flight.

Day 1
Arrival day and check-in at ASHA (available from 3:00 PM). Dinner at 7:00 PM. After dinner, around 8:00 PM, we’ll gather for a 1.5-hour opening circle, which will include introductory workshop activities.

If you arrive earlier, accommodation and meals should be arranged independently. We can support you in checking availability at ASHA or nearby places.

Transfers from and to the airport are organized by the retreat center and are included in the on-site payment for accommodation and meals.

Days 2–6
Five full retreat days. Each day includes workshop sessions and a combination of practices such as breathwork, somatic work, or time in nature.

Day 7
The final day of our stay at ASHA. After breakfast, we’ll gather for a 2-hour closing workshop and circle, followed by lunch at 1:00 PM. Check-out from rooms must be completed by 10:00 AM, so we recommend doing this before the morning session begins. The retreat center can be used until 2:00 PM.

Each day of the retreat will be varied and unique to incorporate the workshops, somatic practices, free time, excursions and more. Here is a sample schedule:

• 7:00 – 8:00 / Movement
• 8:00 – 9:00 / Breakfast
• 9:00 – 13:00 / Workshop
• 13:00 – 14:00 / Lunch
• 14:00 – 16:00 / Free time
• 16:00 – 19:00 / Local outing
• 19:00 – 20:00 / Dinner
• 20:00 – 21:30 / Gong Bath

Please note that the schedule might be fluid at times, and it may change following the group’s needs.

During our retreats, we prioritize the well-being of all participants while maintaining a relaxed and supportive environment. We trust in everyone’s personal responsibility to contribute to a safe and mindful space. Below, we outline our approach to health and wellness during our retreats.

Before the Retreat

• If you are feeling unwell before the retreat (e.g., fever, persistent cough, body aches, or any other symptoms of a contagious illness), we kindly ask you to stay at home for the well-being of the group.

• If you cannot attend due to illness, we will do our best to transfer your workshop fee to another retreat (only if your spot is filled). Otherwise, the fee is non-transferable. However, you may use the workshop fee towards Life Architect’s live and on-demand online workshops. Our library has more than 40 on-demand workshops (hundreds of hours) for mental health professionals.

• We do not require proof of vaccination or negative test results. However, if you have been recently exposed to someone with a contagious illness or are experiencing mild symptoms, we encourage you to act responsibly before travelling.

During the Retreat

• If you begin to feel unwell during the retreat, we encourage you to listen to your body—rest, hydrate, and inform our team if you need support.
• If you develop symptoms such as fever, persistent cough, or other concerning signs, we expect you to inform the team immediately and wear a mask in communal spaces and group activities to minimize the spread of illness.
• We will have masks available for those who need them.

Respect for Each Other

• Our retreat is built on mindfulness and collective well-being. Please be considerate of others, especially those who may be more cautious about health concerns.
• We encourage open communication—if you have any concerns about your well-being or that of others, please feel free to speak with our team.

This policy is based on trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive retreat experience. Thank you for helping us create a mindful and healthy space for everyone!

After signing up for the Somatic Parts Work Retreat in Italy with Fran Booth you will be provided with a guide in PDF format, with practical information on how to pack for the retreat, what to do prior to the travel to avoid the so-called “jet lag” (time-zone change fatigue) and where to buy a ticket at a good price, and last but not least, what is worth seeing in Italy if you plan to arrive earlier or stay longer after the retreat is completed.

The retreat will be run entirely in English. Speaking in any other language is not required at any stage of the retreat.

For the retreat to proceed, we must have a minimum of half the participants signed up and paid (at least 14 participants). If this minimum requirement is unmet, we will notify all participants no later than 30 days before the retreat.

Meals are prepared by ASHA Retreat Center and are part of the on-site services.

All meals are paid directly at the retreat center.

ASHA offers:

• Plant-based meals with optional vegetarian additions
• Locally sourced ingredients
• Options for special diets (gluten-free, allergen-free, etc.)

On most days, three meals are served.

During the visit to a local restaurant, participants cover the meal individually.
