HOLA SOL TERMS + CONDITIONS

These Terms & Conditions may be updated or revised without notice at the discretion of The Messina Movement. Current Terms & Conditions are always available on our website.

The terms “The Messina Movement”, “Hola Sol,” “TMM,” “Lisa Messina”, “us”, “we” and “our” refer to 1000563033 ONTARIO SOLE PROPRIETOR and its employees, contractors, shareholders, officers, directors and agents. “You” and “participants” refer to you, the client. All retreat offerings are subject to TMM’s standard terms and conditions.

Please review these terms carefully prior to completing your reservation. For questions or concerns, you can contact hello@lisamessina.com.

PAYMENTS + CANCELLATION

A non-refundable deposit of $750 CAD ($847.50 including HST if applicable) is required to reserve your space. This deposit (and all subsequent payments) shall be paid to our licensed travel agent, Angie Mammoliti at Transat Travel (TICO. Reg.# 50015088).

Transferring your deposit to another person or a different TMM offering may be allowed on a case-by-case basis at the full discretion of Lisa Messina.

The final balance owing (including HST if applicable), depending on your chosen room, is due on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 to Angie Mammoliti at Transat Travel.

• Cancellation by Traveller:

◦ All payments are non-refundable.

• Cancellation by The Messina Movement:

◦ TMM has the right to cancel Hola Sol at any time, for any reason, determined at our sole discretion, including the minimum number of participants not being met by the final payment day (September 12, 2025). In the case of not meeting our minimum, all payments will be refunded in a timely manner.

◦ Flights and/or additional accommodation costs and/or general travel expenses incurred by participants will not be reimbursed due to the cancellation of Hola Sol by TMM. TMM is not responsible for any travel or accommodation costs you may have booked independently. We encourage choosing your flights and travel accommodation accordingly to meet your needs and this risk.

◦ In the event of circumstances beyond our control (e.g., war, civil unrest, natural disaster, pandemic, government restrictions, force majeure), we will do our best to refund as much of your investment as possible. Nothing is guaranteed.

◦ TMM reserves the right to proceed with a scheduled retreat even if local or global events impact travel or conditions. If TMM determines that Hola Sol can proceed safely, the standard Cancellation by Traveller policy will apply to any participant who chooses to cancel their spot.

RESERVATION + PREPARATION

To complete your reservation, you must sign our retreat waiver linked here. This waiver will also be sent to you upon your initial inquiry.

You are required to read all preparatory emails and communications from The Messina Movement prior to Hola Sol to ensure you are fully attuned to all essential information.

All participants are asked to arrive in good health, understand that the experience may differ from what you’re used to at home, and we ask that you maintain an open and expansive attitude towards all people involved and beyond Hola Sol.

HEALTH + MEDICAL CLEARANCE

By submitting your deposit and completing the retreat waiver, you confirm that you are in suitable physical, mental, and emotional health to join the retreat without posing a risk to yourself or others. You are strongly encouraged to consult your healthcare provider to ensure you are fully prepared.

You agree to inform Lisa Messina of any significant medical conditions, injuries, or limitations before beginning a class or session. If you choose not to share relevant information about your health or physical needs, Lisa may be unable to optimally support you and your needs.

LISA MESSINA IS NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL

Lisa does not diagnose or treat health conditions, and any advice offered is not a substitute for medical advice. You are encouraged to consult a licensed healthcare provider before starting any new fitness or movement practice.

You acknowledge that you have been strongly encouraged to consult with your medical care providers before leaving Canada. You will disclose on the waiver any pre-existing health conditions or restrictions that may affect your ability to participate and list any vital medications or devices, as well as any allergies. By listing nothing, you declare yourself in good health without conditions that could be worsened by travel or participation in retreat activities.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION + REQUIREMENTS

Entry requirements, such as passports, visas, or proof of insurance, can vary by country and may change without notice.

It is each participant’s responsibility to ensure they have correct and valid travel documents for their nationality.

The Messina Movement is not liable for any costs or consequences if a participant is denied entry to Mexico or any country you must enter into during your travels to Mexico.

It is your responsibility to carry and present all required documents—medical insurance and any other mandated forms—as needed by local authorities or service providers. Requirements can change, so stay informed before and during your travels.

You agree to inform yourself about potential dangers associated with travel to Mexico and acknowledge that laws, customs, living conditions, and health standards may differ significantly from Canada and enhance risks.

INSURANCE

It is our recommendation that you review your personal and health insurance to confirm that your coverage meets your current needs. This includes ensuring you have coverage for trip cancellation, illness, injury, loss of property, or unforeseen emergencies. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your insurance is adequate for yourself and your dependents.

The Messina Movement strongly encourages all participants to purchase cancellation and travel insurance to protect against unforeseen changes, such as illness, delays, or other disruptions that could affect your ability to attend. It is advised to secure a travel protection plan well in advance of your trip. You can receive support by purchasing travel insurance through Angie Mammoliti at Transat Travel or a provider of your choice.

It is important to understand that Lisa, operating as The Messina Movement, does not provide any insurance coverage. You should also be aware that insurance may not cover all aspects of travel, including, but not limited to, high-risk activities, injury caused by civil war or natural disasters, long-term disability, and health care.

This release will be binding on your estate, heirs, and representatives.

TMM has partnered with Angie Mammoliti and though we have faith in Angie and Transat Travel, The Messina Movement does not have control over the operations of Angie Mammoliti or Transat Travel.
