This varies, depending on the chosen retreat and venue. Each retreat is unique so, be sure to check out the info page for your chosen adventure! The following fabulous goodies are always included: Tables, chairs, pre-determined project and activity supplies, space to create.
Deposits and reservations:
To hold your spot, a non-refundable deposit of 40% is required at booking! Or you can go pay the full amount at the time of booking. Once I get your deposit, I'll shoot you a confirmation email packed with all the juicy details, including how to pay the remaining balance.
If you decide to just pay the deposit at booking the remaining 60% will be required 60 days before the big retreat! All payments can be made with your credit or debit card! Don’t forget to check the info page of your chosen retreat for all the juicy price details.
Cancellation Policy:
Cancellation must be made in writing via email to: misty@creativelymisty.com
Cancellation dates and refunds vary by retreat and venue. Please be sure to read over each retreats policies and deadlines carefully.
If Creatively Misty cancels any retreat for whatever reason, don’t fret! You'll get a full refund, minus the portion of the retreat cost advanced to our fabulous suppliers.
Inclement weather: If Mother Nature acts up and you think it’s too risky to journey to your retreat, just give Misty a shout! While I can’t give out refunds, your payments can be transferred to any other fabulous Creatively Misty retreat scheduled within the year!
Smoking:
For the health and happiness of everyone and to keep your precious projects and belongings safe, all indoor spots—no matter which retreat you choose—are smoke-free zones! Some venues may provide designated smoking areas on the premises. Please dispose of butts properly at all times and clean up after yourself. If a designated smoking space isn’t provided by the venue and be respectful of your fellow retreat participants and smoke a minimum of 25 feet away from others and exits. Please be respectful of all smoking policies if smoking isn’t allowed on the premises. Anyone caught puffing where they shouldn’t be, will be shown the door—no refunds, and they might have to cough up some hefty venue fees!
Alcohol:
All Creatively Misty Retreats are alcohol free events unless otherwise stated. That means no sneaky sips during your downtime either. Get caught with the goods? You’ll be shown the exit—no refunds, and you’ll earn a permanent spot on our blacklist for future events!
Accidents:
Accidents happen but please be considerate and responsible. Treat the retreat venue like your own home. If you happen to break something during your stay, bring it to Misty’s attention immediately and be ready to foot the bill for replacements or fees.
Extra guests:
Non-paying retreat crashers/guests are not allowed on the retreat grounds at any time.
Check-Out Procedure:
Guests shall leave the premises in neat, undamaged condition.
If the venue's got a kitchen, you must toss all those dirty dishes into the dishwasher (if it's on duty) and get it started or give them a good old-fashioned hand wash if no dishwasher is provided.
If the venue’s got a kitchen, make sure to remove any leftover food you brought! No fridge or cupboard deserting allowed!
All trash—think kitchen scraps, bedroom clutter, and craft chaos—needs to be bagged up and tossed into the trusty trash bin outside before you leave.
Furniture must be placed in its original location.
In-person Workshops
Workshop Schedule:
Workshops will begin PROMPTLY at the times listed on the information page for your chosen workshop. Please be respectful of your fellow participants and the instructor by showing up at least ten minutes early! If you come in late, you’re out of luck—no participation or refunds for you! Workshop fees can be transferred to another Creatively Misty workshop of your choice that’s scheduled within the month. Participants with repeat tardiness will only be given two chances. After that, no more refunds or reschedules and you’ll be blacklisted from all Creatively Misty events. So, set your alarms and be on time!

The following will always be included: tables, chairs, all supplies needed to complete the pre-determined project
Deposits and Reservations:

Cancellations made 6-14 days before your workshop will get no refunds! But don’t fret! Your fees will slide right over to another fabulous Creatively Misty workshop scheduled within a month.
Cancellations made within 5 days of your workshop? Sorry, no refunds or exchanges—supplies have already been purchased.
If Creatively Misty cancels a workshop for any reason, don't worry—your fees will be returned in full, no strings attached!
