Details
1) Refund policy - Please see our other page for current refund policy. And we can ONLY offer credit if Nicaragua closes its borders and/or it becomes impossible to fly here for the training due to the pandemic. The resort will also offer refund in such a case, and we both require evidence that you had to cancel for covid reasons.
2) Payments - For accommodation you are asked to pay in full within 48 hours of applying. You will book the room with us here on this page, but then pay directly to the resort. We do not profit from your stay at the resort.
3) PLEASE NOTE: Current Quarantine & Covid Protocols - as we meet as a group, we will be taking safety measures to ensure everyone is safe to gather. Thus we request that you take extra measures for at least 10 days before the training...this means no festivals, parties, ecstatic dance, kirtan, new lovers (!) or any other extra risk. We would like you to do a test when you arrive and then at least 5 days early and do a self-quarantine~ isolate yourself at a resort, ensuring minimal exposure to others. It is vital that you take responsibility for your health and do all that you can not to bring it into the retreat.
At this time (June 2022), to enter Nicaragua, a negative PCR test is needed within 72 hours of entry.
We will conduct a ceremonial antigen test for you upon your arrival. Bring a test kit with you if possible (If not, we will charge you $25 for the test, please bring cash). If you have any cold or a cough, or if you test positive for Covid, you will not be allowed to attend in person and you will have to pay for a room on your own for your quarantine period. We will offer you a place on our next retreat.
4) Exposure - during the five weeks we will ask you to minimize exposure to anyone outside of the resort. You can go as a group on excursions, but please avoid close contact with people from outside our "bubble". So please do not arrange for meet-ups during the retreat. If you have a partner in the country or some such thing, then speak to us as we would need to arrange a protocol for him/her before you meet them. We will meet with the men's group at the end of our 5 weeks together. They will also all be tested and followed similar protocols.
5) Transportation - The transportation fees are not covered within the price packages. The resort will do their best to join ladies together to share rides and thus to share the costs. We will help organize this in our Facebook group. We will have a meet-up in Libria with taxis across the border together.
6) Covid health insurance - Tao Tantric Arts requires ALL of our participants to have Traveler's Insurance for all of our trainings. There are a few options to choose from. They range from approximately $200-300 for 90 days. There are 3 listed on the Health Pass site listed below. The least expensive option is Trawick International.
7) Health Pass - If you are flying into Costa Rica, they now have to fill out a health pass online within 48 hours of arriving into the country. You must have purchased your insurance before filling this out and provide your valid insurance code in order for it to be completed. Here is the link: https://salud.go.cr/step1.
8) Airport - For Costa Rica travel, please plan to fly into Libra Airport or you can also fly into SJO (San Jose, CR) airport with a longer travel overland or get a domestic flight to Liberia thru Sansa Airlines (if you fly domestically be aware of large fees for suitcases). For Nicaragua, fly into Managua. Liberia, Costa Rica will be the meeting point for the group before crossing the border in minibuses together.
9) Arrival & Departure Times - Opening ceremony will be on Sunday at 5pm. It is NECESSARY for you to arrive between 2-4pm on Sunday- not before or after. This is mandatory, no exceptions. Our organizational team needs time to set up prior to your arrival and then we all need to begin building cohesion from the start.
Departure - On the last day we have a closing circle 8am, breakfast at 9am and then farewells. Most plan to leave at 11am. Most women plan an extra week to pend with each pithier after the retreat.
