Expectations: Cleaning and maintaining the house during our retreats is undertaken collectively. Residents are expected to respect the island, its inhabitants, the environment, animals, and local culture and to respect the other residents.
Access to technology: Residents should bring their equipment and materials (computers, etc.); however, please get in touch with us regarding the materials you need to see if we can assist. The Descover: Retreats take place on the islands of Greece, where it is limited to obtain tech/electronic materials. For this reason, residents should check what materials and equipment will be available and what they need to bring.
Living expenses: While there are a few expenses the residents need to consider while at the retreat, it is worth having funds for trips to local cafes and the like. Calculate approximately 15-50 euros a day for such incidentals.
Minimum number of participants: The retreats run only if a minimum number of participants is reached. If not, Descoverartists will inform all confirmed participants and issue a full refund for the retreat fee.
Retreat Changes: If possible, you will be notified beforehand of any changes to the retreat once it has been booked. However, we reserve the right to cancel a retreat under any circumstances and will offer a full refund of the fee paid until then.
Damages to the house or other areas on the island: We are not responsible for any loss or damage caused by the artists during their stay at Descover: Retreats. The artists must adhere to the house rules established by the owners or pay any fees charged after checkout.
Cancellations and refunds: The deposit to secure a spot (35% of the retreat fee) is not refundable. The remainder fee has to be paid one month before the check-in date. Artists who do not submit the remainder of the cost by the deadline forfeit their deposit, the remainder submitted till that date, and their spot in the retreat. In the case that an artist attending has chosen the option to pay the retreat fee in installments and has not submitted the full remainder fee by the dates stated above as the final deadlines, they forfeit their deposit, together with any installments submitted till that date, and their spot in the retreat. To cancel your spot, please send a cancellation request to the Descoverartists’ email address hello@descoverartists.com.
Promotions and discounts: Two discounts cannot be combined. The biggest one automatically applies to your spot.
