Terms and Conditions

aka The Fine Print (but way more fun to read)

1. You’re In! Now What?

Once you submit your deposit, you’re officially booked for a Createcation retreat. Confetti! But before you start packing your favorite writing pens, read this:

Your spot is secured ONLY after payment is received. No IOUs, no “I’ll pay you later,” no carrier pigeons with wads of cash.
All bookings are final. Once you’re in, you’re in. Your future-bestselling book (and I) are counting on you.

2. Refunds, Transfers & “Oh Sh*t” Moments

I get it—life happens. But due to the nature of these intimate, high-touch retreats, the following policies apply:

Your Deposit Is Locked In. The first $750 of every booking is non-refundable from the moment you book — it covers your application review, your pre-retreat call, and holding your seat the second you’re confirmed.
Transfers Come First. If life happens and there’s space in the next available retreat, you’re automatically moved over — no fee, no drama.
No Space? Refunds Scale With Your Notice. More than 60 days out, you get a full refund of everything except your deposit. Between 30 and 60 days out, it’s 50%. Inside 30 days, the rest is non-refundable too — that’s when flights, meals, and materials are already paid for.
Minimum Numbers Apply. Every retreat needs at least 3 confirmed writers to run. If we’re short by the time applications close, I’ll reschedule or transfer everyone to the next date rather than run a room too thin to work — you’ll get the same transfer-or-refund treatment above.
Replacements Allowed. If you can’t make it, you’re welcome to transfer your spot to another qualified writer. Just let me know at least 30 days in advance so we can handle the switch.

3. The Secret Location Clause

Yes, you’ll know the city & dates, but the exact retreat location remains a secret until four weeks prior. Trust me—this isn’t some shady operation. It’s a carefully curated experience where I handle the details so you can focus on writing your damn book. Expect 4-star+ accommodations that’ll make your creativity (and inner bougie self) swoon.

4. What’s Included?

Your Createcation experience includes:
✅ A stunning 4-star+ stay (revealed 4 weeks prior—patience, grasshopper)
✅ All meals & snacks (because hungry writers are cranky writers)
✅ 1:1 book coaching + guided writing sessions
✅ Deep-dive storytelling workshops & publishing roadmap
✅ A small, intimate group (just 6 writers per retreat!)

What’s not included:
❌ Flights & transportation (you gotta get yourself there, but I’ll provide location deets well in advance)
❌ Personal expenses, spa treatments, extra snacks (though we’ll keep you well-fed)
❌ Miracles—you still have to do the writing (but I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way)

5. Show Up or Lose Out

All retreats must be booked at least 6 weeks in advance. No last-minute add-ons—logistics, people!
Be present. This is an immersive experience, not a Zoom call. You’re expected to fully participate, engage, and WRITE.
No selling. This isn’t a networking event—it’s a book retreat. Keep your MLM pitches at home.

6. Behavior & Vibes Matter

This is a safe, supportive, no-BS writing space. If you show up with toxic energy, disruptive behavior, or a bad attitude, you’ll be asked to leave without a refund (and with a permanent spot on my do not book again list).

7. Legal Stuff (aka Covering My Butt)

By booking a Createcation, you acknowledge that:

You are responsible for your own well-being, travel arrangements, and any personal or business decisions made based on retreat content.
I am not responsible for lost luggage, delayed flights, existential crises or writer’s block (but I’ll happily help you through the last one).
You grant permission for photos/videos taken during the retreat to be used for marketing (don’t worry, I won’t post anything unflattering).

8. Agreement & Acceptance

By submitting your payment, you agree to all terms outlined above. You’re officially in, and I can’t wait to help you bring your book to life.
