OpenGround's programs are built around genuine commitment - yours to the program and the practice, and ours to you. When you register, your place is held and costs are committed: teacher preparation, materials, catering, and in the case of retreats, venue fees that are locked in well in advance. Our cancellation terms reflect that reality, while leaving room for the unexpected turns that life sometimes takes.

Our refund policy for multi-week courses (2-8 weeks):

• If you cancel before the first session, you'll receive a full refund less a $50 administration fee (plus a $50 fee if you have already had your pre-course interview with your teacher).
• If you cancel within 5 days after the first session (before session 2) you can transfer to a future course or you can opt for a 50% refund.
• After Session 2 there is no automatic refund, though you may transfer to a future course date at a 50% discounted rate for the next course.

Medical emergencies or significant life crises considered individually.
