Space is limited at this retreat. In an effort to prevent no-shows, we require you to agree to the following:
If my application is accepted, I understand I will not be officially registered until the Boundless Love Project receives a $50 check from me to hold my space. This check will not be cashed and will be returned to me at the retreat.
However, if I do not show, this check will be cashed to reimburse some of the estimated $150 spent for me to attend.
If you do not have a checking account, cash or a money order is acceptable. We will return the cash or sign over the check to you at the event.
I will tell organizers if I cannot attend as soon as I know.

If I am accepted to attend, and something comes up that will prevent me from participating, I will inform the OWL retreat coordinators as soon as I know to help ensure another person on the waitlist can take my space.
I will volunteer for a few hours at the event.

To ensure a pleasant and smooth running retreat, I understand I will need to volunteer a few hours of my time to help with: meal preparations, dish washing, vacuuming, sweeping, cleaning the bathrooms, or some other necessary task.
