Our experiences are designed to create a calm, supportive, inspiring, and elevated environment  for all guests. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, please review the following terms  before attending.  

By booking or attending a GAIA Society experience, event, workshop, retreat, journey, or class,  you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to the Terms & Conditions outlined  below.

Your comfort and wellbeing are important to us. By attending a GAIA Society experience, you  confirm that you feel physically well and able to participate in the activities offered.  

Our experiences may include wellness activities such as movement, stretching, mindfulness  practices, beauty treatments, educational sessions, travel experiences, or similar activities.  Participation in all activities is voluntary, and guests are encouraged to move at their own pace  and listen to their body throughout the experience.  

If you have any injuries, medical conditions, or concerns that may affect your participation, we  recommend consulting a healthcare professional before attending and informing our team in  advance.  

By participating in the experience, you accept personal responsibility for your wellbeing and  participation.  

Minimum Age  

GAIA Society experiences are designed for adults. Participants must be at least 18 years of age,  unless otherwise specified for a particular experience.  

Pregnancy  

If you are pregnant or believe you may be pregnant, please inform us prior to the event so we can  help determine whether the activities are suitable or provide appropriate guidance.  

Liability Waiver  

By attending and participating in a GAIA Society experience, you acknowledge that participation  in wellness, beauty, travel, educational, or movement-based activities involves varying levels of  physical activity and personal responsibility. 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, participants agree to release, waive, and hold harmless  GAIA Society, its founders, instructors, employees, contractors, partners, sponsors, collaborators,  and event venues from any claims, demands, injuries, damages, losses, or expenses that may  arise from participation in the experience.  

Participants accept full responsibility for their participation and agree that GAIA Society and its  partners cannot be held liable for any injury, health concern, accident, delay, travel issue, or loss  occurring during or in connection with the experience.  

Participants confirm that they understand the nature of the activities offered and voluntarily  choose to participate.  

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or  limited under applicable law.  

Essential Oils, Beauty & Wellness Elements  

Some experiences may incorporate wellness elements such as essential oils, aromatherapy,  skincare products, beauty treatments, cosmetics, supplements, or similar products.  

If you have allergies, sensitivities, respiratory conditions, or other concerns, please inform the  organizers before the experience and use your discretion when participating.  

Gifts & Third-Party Partner Products  

From time to time, guests may receive curated gifts from wellness, beauty, travel, lifestyle, or  luxury partners.  

These products are provided by third-party brands, and GAIA Society does not manufacture or  control these products. Participants are responsible for reviewing ingredients and determining  suitability for their personal needs.  

GAIA Society cannot be held responsible for allergic reactions, sensitivities, product defects, or  other issues related to third-party products.  

Food & Dietary Considerations  

Some experiences may include refreshments, meals, beverages, or food items.  

While we aim to work with trusted partners, we cannot guarantee that food items are free from  allergens.  

Guests are responsible for reviewing ingredients and ensuring suitability for their dietary needs.  Booking Policy 

All bookings are final and tickets are non-refundable unless otherwise specified.  

Ticket Transfers  

If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to another participant.  

Please notify us at least 24 hours in advance and provide the new participant’s name and contact  details so we can update the guest list.  

Transfers may not be accepted after this time.  

No-Show Policy  

Failure to attend an experience without prior notice will be considered a no-show and the  booking will be forfeited.

In the unlikely event that GAIA Society needs to cancel or reschedule an experience, participants  will be offered:  

  • a credit toward a future GAIA Society experience, or  
  • a rescheduled date for the same experience.  

Credits may be subject to an expiry period and are non-transferable unless otherwise specified.  

In exceptional circumstances, GAIA Society may, at its sole discretion, offer a refund instead of  a credit. Refunds are not granted automatically and remain at the discretion of GAIA Society.  

Minimum Participants  

Some experiences require a minimum number of participants.  

If the minimum number is not reached, the experience may be rescheduled or cancelled.  

In this case, participants will receive a credit toward a future experience or an alternative  experience date.

Marine & Outdoor Activities  

Certain experiences, including GAIA At Sea events, may take place on or near the water, aboard  vessels, or in outdoor settings. These experiences may involve boarding and disembarking  vessels, exposure to weather and sea conditions, and optional water-based activities.  

Participation in any marine or water-based activity is entirely voluntary. Participants confirm that  they are comfortable in and around water, agree to follow all safety instructions given by the  crew, venue, or organizers, and accept the inherent risks associated with marine and outdoor  environments.

We strongly recommend that participants obtain appropriate travel and medical insurance,  including cover for trip cancellation, medical expenses, and personal belongings, particularly for  experiences involving travel or marine activities. GAIA Society does not provide insurance of  any kind for participants.  

Arrival Time  

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all guests, we kindly ask participants to arrive  no earlier than 10 minutes before the scheduled start time unless otherwise stated.  

Late arrivals may not be able to join once the experience has started in order to maintain the flow  of the event.
