Why does the price of the retreat not include airfares? Because it is difficult to predict the cost of all flights, since participants come from all over the world. In addition, the airline ticket prices vary depending on the time of purchase, which will differ for each participant.

You don’t need to take any extra money with you, as you will be provided with everything (food, water, tourist attractions entrance tickets). However, you may take under consideration the possibility of buying souvenirs.

To secure your spot, you can pay the full price or start with a deposit of 1000 USD.

Please note: The deposit is non-refundable.

There are three payment options:

• Credit or debit card,
• Transferring money to our Wise account,
• A traditional bank transfer.

Please note that if you choose to pay the deposit, you must pay the remaining amount within 60 days.

The final payment deadline is the 1st of September 2026.

Installments

It’s possible to pay for the retreat in 3 installments (we do not charge any interest): the first installment being the deposit, in the amount of 1000 USD. It’s payable on signing up for the retreat. The next two installments should be paid monthly within three months; however, the last installment is due 30 days before the retreat. If there are any delays with the payments, we reserve the right to cancel your participation without a refund (although we will send a reminder first).

According to our General Terms and Conditions, a non-refundable deposit of 1000 USD is required to secure your spot on the retreat. In the case of resignation, the deposit will not be refunded. Also, the following refund terms apply to the remaining balance after the deposit:

• • 50% of the retreat price will be refunded for cancellations made between 45 and 69 days before the event start date.
  • 10% of the retreat 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 have to resign, but you will indicate another person to fill in the vacated spot, this person will be able to participate without incurring any additional costs.

We don’t take responsibility for the necessity to move the dates of the retreat due to the sickness of the trainers or other unexpected events that we are accountable for. If you won’t be able to attend on chosen dates, then we will refund you 100% of the amount you paid.

In the unlikely events of a natural disaster, war or other unexpected events that we are not accountable for, we may not be able to refund your money. To avoid losing money, please buy personal insurance including such events.

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

If you’re arriving in Italy earlier, please arrange your own accommodation and meals. You may contact us to check if early check-in at ASHA is possible a day or two before the retreat begins.

A free group transfer from the airport in Rome to ASHA is provided for those arriving on the first day of the retreat.

Days 2–6
Five full retreat days. Each day includes 4 hours of workshop time and a unique combination of experiences in the afternoon or evening – such as breathwork, visits to local hot springs, or somatic practices.

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.

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 because of illness, we will do our best to accommodate a transfer of your payment to another retreat only if we can find a replacement to fill your spot. Otherwise, the fee is non-transferable. However, you may use all of your payment towards Life Architect’s live and on-demand online workshops. Our library has more than 30 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, full of practical information on how to pack wisely 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.

In ASHA, the food supports the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of a retreat. They understand retreats can be transformative, and they prepare every meal with care, providing grounding and comfort to nourish the body and soul.

ASHA’s kitchen is vegan, with vegetarian options available upon request. The cheeses and eggs they offer are locally sourced from farms with high animal welfare standards.

ASHA provides gut-friendly food that nourishes and energises. They can tailor their offerings for special diets, including raw, religious needs, gluten-free, and allergen-free options.

If you have special nutritional requirements, just let us know about it prior to the retreat.

On the first day of the retreat, there will be a dinner served. On the last day of the retreat, there will be a breakfast served. Other than that, on all other days you will get 3 rich and tasty meals a day, with one exception – during a visit to a local Italian restaurant, where everyone will need to pay for themselves.
