Thank you so much for choosing to join us at the Recode Retreat — we cannot wait to hold this space with you. By paying your deposit (or paying in full), you are confirming that you have read and understood the following, and that you agree to these terms as part of your booking. Please take a moment to read through before you complete your payment.
1. Deposit
A deposit is required to secure your place at the Recode Retreat, and payment of this deposit confirms your acceptance of this Agreement. Because we are holding a small and intentional container, deposits are non-refundable once paid — this allows us to plan and commit to the experience we are creating for everyone attending.
2. Balance Payment & Payment Plans
A member of the Gabrielle Bentley team will be in touch to discuss and organise a payment plan that works for you. If you would like to arrange your payment plan sooner, please reach out to us directly at hello@gabriellebentley.com.
If we have not heard from you and no payment arrangement is in place by 1 September 2026, we may need to release your place so that someone on the waitlist can attend. Your deposit would not be refunded in this case, so please do get in touch with us early if you need support with timing.
3. Full Payment
If you have paid in full at the time of booking, your place is completely secured — that is it. Please note that full payments are non-refundable, so if you have any uncertainty about your availability, paying a deposit and arranging a payment plan may be the better fit for you.
4. Refund Policy
We know life is unpredictable, and we wish we could make exceptions — but because this is a small and intentional retreat with significant costs committed in advance, we are unable to offer refunds once a booking is made. This applies to both deposits and full payments.
If something comes up and you cannot attend, please reach out to us as soon as possible. We will always do our best to support you, and a booking transfer (see Section 5) means your investment does not need to go to waste.
We genuinely recommend taking out travel or event insurance when you book — it is the best way to protect yourself in the event of the unexpected.
5. Booking Transfer
If you find you cannot make it, you are welcome to transfer your booking to someone else rather than lose your place entirely. To do this, simply let us know in writing at hello@gabriellebentley.com at least 3 days before the retreat starts, and include the name and contact details of the person taking your spot. They will need to agree to this Agreement before the transfer is confirmed.
Transfers are a one-time option — once your booking has been transferred, it cannot be transferred again. We are not able to offer cash in lieu of a transfer.
6. Content, Photography & Recording Consent
The Recode Retreat will be documented through photography, video recording, and/or audio recording for the purposes of creating promotional and educational content for Gabrielle Bentley's business.
By paying your deposit or full payment, you consent to:
Being photographed, filmed, and/or recorded during the retreat.
Your image, voice, and likeness being used in promotional materials, social media content, website content, course materials, and other marketing across any platform.
Content being shared publicly without prior approval required for each individual use.
Your privacy matters. The following commitments apply:
Sensitive, personal, or deeply private moments shared during facilitated activities will not be recorded or shared without your explicit individual consent. We will not share your full name or identifying personal details (such as contact information or location) in any published content without your permission.
If you would prefer not to be included in photography or video content, simply let us know in writing at hello@gabriellebentley.com before the retreat begins and we will do our best to honour that. During the retreat, we will be mindful of your preference and do our best not to capture you. For group photos, we will invite you to step aside or position you on the outside of the group so that group content can still be taken comfortably — no awkwardness, no pressure.
We appreciate you trusting us with this, and we want everyone to feel at ease. While we cannot guarantee that you will never appear in the background of any candid capture, we will make every reasonable effort to respect your wishes.
7. Retreat Activities & Participation Disclaimer
The Recode Retreat is a multi-day spiritual development experience. The sessions are designed to go deep, and some of them may feel stretching in the best possible way. We want you to feel informed about what is included so you can arrive prepared, open, and ready to receive the full experience.
Activities at the retreat include, but are not limited to:
Yoga — gentle to moderate physical movement to open the body and support your practice.
Breathwork — intentional breathing techniques that can produce altered states of awareness, emotional release, and shifts in physical sensation.
Meditation — guided stillness practices taught by Kassie Sheaffe, Meditation Teacher.
Shadow work — deep emotional and self-inquiry practices designed to surface and shift patterns held below the surface.
Energy work — practices to help you feel, move, and clear your own energy field.
Psychic healings — live group healing sessions where Gabrielle works directly with your energy field.
Channeled workshops and intuitive development sessions.
Evening fire circles — shared group space for reflection and connection.
Nature immersion across 80 acres of Queensland hinterland.
Please read the following before booking:
Yoga sessions involve physical movement. It is your responsibility to inform our facilitator of any injuries, physical limitations, or medical conditions prior to participation. You participate at your own pace and your own risk. Always listen to your body.
Meditation sessions are led by Kassie Sheaffe, Meditation Teacher. These are guided stillness practices. If you experience any discomfort during meditation, you are always welcome to open your eyes, ground yourself, and rest.
Breathwork can produce powerful physical and emotional responses including tingling, altered states of consciousness, and emotional release. It is contraindicated for certain conditions including (but not limited to) pregnancy, epilepsy, cardiovascular conditions, severe anxiety disorders, psychosis, or recent surgery. If you have any concerns about your suitability for breathwork, please consult your medical professional before attending.
Shadow Work & Emotional Processing - Shadow work is a deep emotional and self-inquiry practice. It may surface previously unfelt or unprocessed emotions. This is a normal and valuable part of the process. However, this work is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health support. If you are currently in active crisis or under the care of a mental health professional, please speak with your provider before attending.
Psychic Work & Energy Healing - Psychic healings and energy work are spiritual and experiential in nature. They are not a form of medical treatment, psychological therapy, or diagnosis. Gabrielle Bentley is a psychic development teacher and facilitator — she is not a registered medical professional, psychologist, or counsellor. Any insights, shifts, or experiences during sessions are personal and spiritual in nature and should not replace professional medical or mental health advice.
General Participation - You are encouraged to participate fully, and equally encouraged to honour your own limits. You may choose to sit out of any activity at any time without pressure. The retreat team is here to support you, not push you. Your wellbeing comes first.
By booking, you are confirming that you feel ready and well enough to engage with these kinds of practices. If anything changes between now and the retreat, please reach out — we would rather have that conversation with you than have you arrive feeling uncertain.
8. Privacy
Your personal information (name, email, contact details, and payment information) is collected solely for the purpose of managing your booking and communicating with you about the retreat. We will not sell, share, or distribute your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as required by law.
By booking, you agree to receive communications from Gabrielle Bentley relating to your booking and the retreat. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.
9. Limitation of Liability
We care deeply about your experience and your safety. That said, we do need to be transparent that Gabrielle Bentley and her team are not able to accept liability for the following:
Personal injury, illness, loss, or damage sustained during or in connection with the retreat.
Loss of or damage to personal belongings or equipment.
Any losses arising from your attendance or inability to attend.
Changes to the program, schedule, facilitators, or venue due to circumstances outside our control — such as illness, weather events, or venue issues.
We ask that you arrive having considered your own physical and emotional readiness to participate. If you have any health concerns, please check in with a doctor or mental health professional before attending — we want you to get the most out of every session.
Gabrielle Bentley is a psychic development teacher and facilitator. Everything shared at the retreat is educational and experiential in nature and is not intended as medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice.
10. Changes to the Retreat
Life happens, and sometimes things need to shift. We may occasionally need to adjust the retreat schedule, content, facilitators, or venue — and we will always communicate any changes as early as possible. Minor program adjustments would not trigger a refund, but we will always do our best to ensure the experience is everything it was designed to be.
In the very unlikely event that Gabrielle has to cancel the retreat entirely and it is not rescheduled, you will receive a full refund of all monies paid. Your investment is safe if the retreat does not go ahead on our end.
11. Agreement
By paying your deposit or full payment for the Recode Retreat, you confirm that:
You have read and understood this Agreement.
You agree to be bound by all terms set out above.
You are 18 years of age or older.
You are entering this Agreement of your own free will.
