🌿 **RETREAT DAY TERMS & CONDITIONS
(Eudaimonia – The Coaching Retreat)
Retreat Leader: Kate Evans
Please take a moment to read these terms before booking. They’re here to keep everyone safe, supported, and clear on how the retreat works.
​
1. Your Booking & Participation
By booking your retreat day, you’re agreeing to these terms.
• You must be 18 or over
• Participation is voluntary, you can step out at any time
• If you’re unsure about anything, just contact me before booking

2. Confidentiality & Group Agreements
These days work because everyone feels safe to be open.
​
What’s shared in the group stays in the group.
• Personal stories, experiences, and names must stay confidential
• This continues after the retreat has ended
​
As your retreat leader, I will also keep what you share confidential, except where I am legally required to act (risk of harm, child protection, court orders, or disclosure of terrorism).

• Listen with kindness
• Share (only if you want to) without judgment

​
3. What the Retreat Is — and Isn’t
What it is:
• A reflective, personal development experience
• Coaching-based group learning
• Space for self-awareness, wellbeing, and connection
• A single-day format
What it is not:

If something comes up that needs more specialist support, I will gently let you know and offer signposting.
