If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from registering for the Program.

1. Attendance requirement. Participant commits to attend all scheduled in-person retreats and online retreats during the entire Program.

Participant will book all accommodations directly and will be independently bound by those terms and conditions. Participant will be responsible for all cancellation costs and fees imposed by the hotel as well as any fees incurred by Provider as a result of the cancellation.

4. Healthy and safety. Participant agrees to comply with all health and safety policies in effect at the time of the in-person retreat, including guidelines given by the retreat venue, by national and local health authorities, and by Provider. Failure to comply with health and safety guidelines may result in cancellation of Participant’s participation in the Program.

5. Prohibition of alcohol and drugs. Participant agrees not to consume alcohol, marijuana, plant medicines, or other drugs or intoxicants during the in-person and online retreats (prescribed medications excluded). Participants who violate this policy will be asked to leave the retreat.

6. Code of Conduct. If Provider determines, in its sole discretion, and at any time, that Participant is not suited for participation in the Program, Provider will so inform Participant in writing and reimburse all fees paid to date, including the non-refundable deposit. Upon receipt of such notice, Participant shall cease all participation in the Program. Provider may also exclude Participant in whole or in part from an individual in-person or online retreat.

7. Program content. Program content is subject to change at the sole discretion of Provider. While unlikely, retreat dates and locations are subject to change.

Participant is not participating against medical advice. Participant will truthfully advise the Program Manager of any physical, medical, and emotional conditions in advance of the Program. Participant is responsible for notifying Provider of any changes to Participant’s health (including COVID-19-related symptoms), which could affect Participant’s ability to participate in a reasonably safe and healthy manner. In such case, Provider reserves the right to require modifications to or cancel Participant’s participation.

Participant acknowledges that such use shall be without payment of fees, royalties, special credit or other compensation.

12. Assumption of all risks. Participant recognizes that the Program includes psychological, social and spiritual exercises that might be strenuous, stressful, and trigger physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual reactions, and accepts this possibility and the results of such releases and disorientations. Participation also includes possible exposure to and illness from infectious diseases including but not limited to COVID-19. Participant acknowledges that there are risks and dangers that cannot be eliminated, and even if a risk or danger could have been eliminated, this does not always occur. In consideration for being permitted to participate in the Program, Participant agrees to assume full responsibility for all risks, injuries or damages, even those caused by the negligent acts or conduct of the Provider, its owners, employees, and/or agents, both known and unknown, that might occur as a result of participating in the Program.

13, Release of all claims. Participant releases the Provider, including Thomas Hübl, Amy Elizabeth Fox, and all the Provider’s owners, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, insurers, independent contractors, and employees (referred to individually and collectively as “Releasees”) from all claims, damages and liabilities of every kind and nature arising out of, or connected with, Participant’s participation in the Program. Participant specifically understands that Participant is releasing any and all claims that arise or may arise from any negligent acts or conduct of the Releasees, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Participant agrees not to institute, prosecute, or in any way aid in the institution or prosecution of any claim, suit, or demand against Releasees for damages, expenses, costs, loss, injury of any kind or nature, including but not limited to, damages to persons or property, or both, whether developed or undeveloped, foreseen or unforeseen, known or unknown, past, present or future, that may be sustained as a direct or indirect consequence of Participant’s participation in the Program. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a release for conduct that is found to constitute gross negligence or intentional conduct.

14. Waiver of Claims. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant waives all claims that Participant has or may have against the Provider and/or Releasees arising out of Participant’s participation in the Program. Specifically, Participant waives rights to claims that are presently unknown or unsuspected. Participant waives and releases any rights Participant may have under California Civil Code §1542, which states as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor [participant] does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her, must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor [Releasees].”

15. Indemnification. Participant indemnifies Releasees from all liability for any loss, damage, injury, death, illnesses, or expense that Participant may suffer, arising out of participation in the Program. Participant agrees to indemnify the Releasees for costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), and losses caused by Participant. This Agreement supplements any common law rights to indemnification to which Releasees may have. In no event shall the Provider’s total liability to Participant exceed the amount paid by Participant to Provider under this Agreement.
