Booking & Policies

  • Visit our Booking Page to see available experience dates and reserve your spot. Spots are limited and fill quickly, so early booking is recommended.

    Participant Selection Process

    1. Limited Spots Policy: Each experience has a limited number of spots (e.g., 8 participants).

    2. Application Review: Applications are reviewed in the order they are received, but acceptance is based on the quality of responses, ensuring alignment with the mission of Primal Heart. Submitting an application does not guarantee a spot.

    3. Spot Confirmation: Only after an applicant is approved will they be invited to submit full payment. Spots are 100% confirmed upon receipt of full payment.

    4. First-Come, First-Serve Basis: Approved applicants who complete payment first will secure their spots. If payment is not submitted promptly after approval, the spot may be offered to the next qualified applicant.

    • Strict Cancellation Policy: Due to the extensive logistics involved in planning and executing these experiences, the following policy is recommended:

      • Cancellations 30+ Days Before the Event: Eligible for a 50% refund.

      • Cancellations Less Than 30 Days Before the Event: Non-refundable.

      • Substitute Participants: If you are unable to attend and find someone to take your place (pending approval by Primal Heart), your spot may be transferred, and the new participant must complete payment and the application process.

    • In the rare case that Primal Heart cancels due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., extreme weather or other uncontrollable events), participants will be offered:

      1. A rescheduled date for the same experience.

      2. A credit toward a future experience.

      3. A refund minus non-recoverable costs.
