Yes. Participants who break substantial rules will be sent home with no refund of trip fees and at their own expense. It is not fair to other participants on the trip to spend their sacred travel time feeling uncomfortable or find themselves in situations that do not align with our values. Most of the time we can privately work out situations that arise, however the rules are in place so that there is clear communication of our expectations from each individual. If you can not or do not want to comply, then this trip is not for you.
