Vermont residents
may qualify with VSAC
(Vermont Student Assistance Corporation) for adult

adult professional trainings for all prior applicants.
Similar agencies in your home state may also
offer

information for those agencies.)
Those whom have attended our previous sound healing trainings may
qualify for discounts on individual programs.
We will consider
extended payment plans for those truly in need.
Payment for programs must be made one month in advance to hold your
space.
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. (4 day and longer 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. We will not cash a check, nor
charge your credit card account, if space is not available, and we will
contact
you regarding 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 some
longer
programs,
a refund, less stated deposits, may be requested up until 30 days
prior to
the program. See those program registration information for
details for that program. Credit
toward future programs may be extended
at the discretion of Center of Light staff.
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.

Accomodations
* Campgrounds
The
Center of
Light does not offer residential services for retreat or weekend
workshops. 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 thing...) 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

Windsor 10
