Refund Policy
· All class ticket sales are considered a donation to Fox Haven and help us to fulfill our mission. Full refunds (minus a 20% processing fee) will be given to any participant canceling at least 30 days prior to the scheduled class date. Due to the nature of full series commitments, no refunds will be processed once the series has started.
· Enrollment cannot be transferred to another class. If you are within the 30-day cancellation period, it is best to request a refund and sign up for the desired replacement.
Loss is a universal human experience, yet society does not acknowledge or validate all losses. This conference explores invisible loss—experiences of loss that go unrecognized—and disenfranchised grief, the deep sorrow that arises when grief is not openly acknowledged, socially supported, or publicly mourned. Through speaker sessions, discussion, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, participants will gain insight into these often-overlooked aspects of grief, learn how they manifest in personal and professional contexts, and explore ways to honor and support those navigating them.

About LandBack Tax
From 2022 onward, Fox Haven will donate $2 from each event ticket to the Piscataway Conoy Tribe to pay LandBack tax, acknowledging our access to stolen Indigenous land. Through Piscataway Eyes is an Indigenous-led initiative working to restore ancestral land and sovereignty to the Piscataway and other Indigenous communities of the Chesapeake.
Weather Policy
If inclement weather is predicted ahead of an event, you will be notified 48 hours before the event date about any cancellation or rescheduling.
