This retreat is hosted by Indulgent Nourishment, LLC. Guests must be women 21 years of age or older. Please read carefully as this is a legally binding contract.

Price includes lodging, transportation to/from lodge and activities, all meals, drinks, snacks, guided trail running, cooking class, yoga classes, and speaking engagements. Guests are responsible for all other purchases, including (but not limited to) flights, transportation from airport to downtown Bend, lodging outside of trip dates, souvenirs, additional food/drinks if in town exploring on their own. We reserve the right to adjust the itinerary at any time due to weather or other safety concerns.
Reservations:
You may reserve a spot with a non-refundable $500 deposit when registration opens. Your spot is not confirmed until we’ve received all the paperwork back from you. The remaining balance for your trip is due 120 days prior to its start (Jan. 14th, 2025 for May Retreat & June 3rd, 2025 for October Retreat). For spaces booked within the 120 days, the full retreat cost is due at booking.
After reserving your spot with a deposit, you’ll receive a booking confirmation email. Shortly afterward, you’ll receive a more detailed email with a copy of this document, draft itinerary and waiver. And 60 days before the trip begins, you’ll receive a packing list, final itinerary, flight arrival suggestions, and hotel recommendations (if arriving before the retreat begins). Before Jan. 14th, 2025 for May Retreat & June 3rd, 2025 for October Retreat, Run Fast Eat Slow Retreats will invoice you for the balance of your trip fee. Balance must be paid by check or bank transfer (sorry no credit cards). The guest survey and liability release must be returned to us at this time. We will remind you of these payment and paperwork deadlines.

Cancellations or Changes by Indulgent Nourishment, LLC
If we are forced to significantly alter or cancel your trip due to Force Majeure (unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control that prevent fulfillment of a contract), we will advise you as soon as possible. Examples include a change in pandemic regulations or major storms or forest fires. In this situation, you can choose from one of the following options:
- Accept our offer of a comparable replacement trip, subject to availability, or 2. Receive a refund, minus any expenses that Indulgent Nourishment LLC has incurred. These expenses may relate to lodging, transportation, or purchase of food or supplies in anticipation of our hosting you. We will provide documentation to submit to Travel Insurance.
Unused Portions of a Trip
No refunds will be issued for any unused portion of a trip once the trip begins, including but not limited to if you leave a trip for any reason, miss the trip’s departure date or an activity, or have to be removed, quarantined, or evacuated from a trip. Guests are welcome to take a day of rest during our week, skip any meals included, and/or forgo any services or items included in our retreat package. However, no refunds or proration will be issued on any services or items declined by trip participants.
Indulgent Nourishment LLC is not responsible for delays in clients’ arrival. Late arrivals due to weather, flight schedules, and other events beyond our control are the responsibility of our clients. We will make every effort to have late clients join the group and the trip already in progress, however: no refund or proration of trip fees, nor assumption of cost for transportation, will be issued for clients not starting the trip as booked on their designated departure.
There are no exceptions to this cancellation and refund policy, including for reasons related to weather, civil strife, personal, family, or medical emergencies or any other circumstances. For this reason, we highly recommend that you protect your experience by purchasing travel insurance.
TRIP CANCELLATION, TRAVEL AND EMERGENCY INSURANCE
Indulgent Nourishment LLC requires trip insurance. Guests will have the option to waive trip insurance by certifying that, 1. They have read and understand terms and conditions listed above and, 2. They understand that exceptions are never granted to our terms and conditions. Trip cancellation insurance may be the only means of receiving reimbursement for flights and other non-refundable expenses should one of our tours be canceled for any reason. Each year, we have some guests who have to cancel for any one of a number of life reasons— injury, work schedule changes, or other personal life events. Travel insurance may help you in the event you have to cancel or postpone your trip for reasons outside of your control.
Contact a representative with a reliable agency to discuss various options, making sure the plan you choose will cover the three big things you worry about while traveling: you, your experiences, and your stuff. With your retreat being non-refundable in certain instances and after a certain point, we strongly encourage you to include the full cost of your trip in your policy.
In the Event of an Emergency:
We require all guests to carry health insurance.
