You
may preregister by mail or fax, or make an
online
reservation request, but before you do, please
take time to carefully read the Cancellation Policy and Important
Information sections below before moving on to the reservation form.
Cancellation
and Refund Policy: Cancellations must be made by phone with
one of our reservation staff. If you cancel or change any part
of your reservation at least five full days before the start
of your workshop(s), your nonrefundable deposit, less a $50-per-workshop
processing fee, will be transferred to a credit account to be
used within one year. "Five full days" means by Tuesday
before a Sunday workshop and by Sunday before a Friday workshop.
If you cancel with less than five days' notice, you forfeit
your entire deposit. If you have prepaid your entire reservation
fee, we will retain the deposit, as above, less the $50 processing
fee, and return the balance to you.
If
you have applied for a scholarship and we are unable to give
you any assistance, we will, at your request, refund your deposit
in full if you cancel your reservation at least five full days
prior to the start of your workshop.
Our
Reservation Form, in Adobe's "PDF" format,
is for your
convenience in reserving a space in Esalen workshops. If you
wish to make reservations for more than one person, please print
a copy of this form so that each registrant has his/her own
form, unless you are registering as a couple with the same address
and phone number. A non-refundable deposit for each person registering
and each workshop applied for must accompany this form. Please
see Reservation Information.
All fax reservations must include credit card information and
a signature. Mailed reservation deposits are payable in U.S.
currency only, and overseas residents must pay by checks drawn
on U.S. banks or provide complete credit card information.
You may also complete an Online Reservation Request.
