WAIT LISTS: If a retreat is sold out, we will take your name and party number for our wait list.  Our waitlists are run on the basis of first come, first in to retreat.  If a space becomes available in a sold out retreat, the first person on the waitlist will receive an email notifying them of the open space, they will then have 24 hrs to respond with payment.  If they do not respond with payment, then the next person on the list is notified and so on through the waitlist.  Waitlist participants have priority over transfers of regitrations to ensure fairness on the waitlist.
