Refund & Cancellation Policy

The Open Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is a physical and digital gathering place for the global conscious community to connect, heal, learn, create, dance and grow. As the longest-running urban holistic center in the country, we were founded in NYC in 1984 to address the stresses and anxiety that come from city dwelling — the same problems that are now widespread to everyone, everywhere. Our mission is to address these real life challenges of existence through holistic, spiritual and integrative practices to create a harmonious relationship between ourselves, each other and the planet.

What is Our Refund Policy? 

For Single Evening Events, Series, Half-Days and Mini-Workshops, Walking Tours, Single-Event Webinars or O’Cast™ Recordings, there are no refunds or course credits for these offerings.

For Full Workshops, Ongoing Courses and Webinars and Online Courses:  Refunds are available minus a processing fee* if you cancel up to two weeks prior to the first day of the program. Course credits are available, minus a processing fee* if you cancel up to 48 hours prior to the first day of the program. Course credit is valid for one year and may be applied to memberships or courses by pre-registration only. Any processing of a refund or credit is pending until you receive notice that the Registration Department has received your request and deemed it valid.

*The processing fee for cancellation is $15 for programs costing less than $250, and $35 for programs costing $250 and up. No refunds or credits will be given for cancellations less than 48 hours prior to the first day of a program, or if a student does not attend a program. The estimated refund processing time is two to three weeks.
