DISCLOSURE:
See registration disclosures on each program page, which take precedence over this general information.
Registration
in a program is a commitment to attend and to follow all
guidelines
and
policies regarding the program, including taking personal liability
for any harm,
or damage, to persons or property while attending said program.
For most programs, a 50% deposit holds a space for you in that
program. (Some trainings may have separate
guidelines, which take precedence, and will be stated on those
pages.) Payment in full is
due 30
days prior to program start date, to reserve space. Registration
is open until program is
full.
Registration
in a program is a commitment to attend and to follow all
guidelines

for any harm,
or damage, to persons or property while attending said program.
Acceptance into each program you are registering for, will
be
formalized, when we charge your credit
card, or deposit your check into our bank, for that program. We
will not cash a check, nor
charge your credit card account, if you are not accepted into the
program for any reason; or, if space is not available. And we
will
contact
you if either of these occur, as well as to let you know if there is a
possible wait list. A
refund, less a $20 administrative fee, may be requested up until 30
days
prior to the
program, for most 1-3 day programs. Refunds are not given after
that time. For our Sound Healer Training programs, and most
longer
programs,
a refund, less stated deposits, may be requested up until 30 days
prior to
the first program. See those program registration information for
details, on that program's web page. Credit
toward future programs may be
extended
at the discretion of Center of Light staff, toward programs of like
kind (same or similar topic, same or similar venue,) for up to one
year. If a program is cancelled, due to inclement weather, or for
any other
reason, a full refund will be made.
Center of Light staff will make such decisions, and the Center of
Light,
and its staff, shall be held harmless in case of cancellation, for
whatever reason.

Accomodations * Click here for Campgrounds
The Center of Light does not offer residential services for retreat or weekend workshops.
Some of our extended tours do include accomoations and meals, note that on each program.
However, we wish to assist you in finding quality accomodations for your stay, as well as to assist where we may in making your stay in this region more enjoyable, rewarding, and fulfilling.
By inclusion in this list, the Center of Light endorses none of these lodgings, and assumes no responsibility for your experience with them. We simply offer their listing for assistance in finding lodging in the area during your stay. Most accomodations listed as an "Inn" are quality private Inns or B&B's, most listed as "motels", which are not large known chains, are listed due to proximity or affordability, but may not be the highest quality rooms available (we do not include any we do not feel meet basic acceptable standards of cleanliness & upkeep, but this can be a very personalized experience...)
You may call or ask for further clarification.
We can also assist with other areas of interest you might wish to include during your stay in this pristine area, filled with opportunities for rich outdoor and indoor experiences (hiking, canoeing/kayaking, climbing, hanggliding, theater, museum, dining....)
We often dine out after a program, and often invite you to gather with us, extending the experience of deep community we are building in this area through our work and programs. We occasionally provide other experiences in outdoor settings the day after a program (hikes, ceremony in sacred places, for instance.)
Feel free to ask if any such event is planned when you are attending.
Lodgings are listed in the following towns, approximate times given to drive to the Center of Light.
Springfield 15-25 minutes, Brownsville, 10-15 minutes
Perkinsville 20-25 minutes, Weathersfield, 20-25 minutes, Grafton 40-45 minutes, Chester 25-30 minutes
time differences depend on specific lodging location.
Special or discounted rates for "the Center of Light," available at some sites, ask for our rate where listed as such.
Rates may vary by season, and without notice. Book early during holiday weekends, fall foliage season, and big ski weekends.
