I, the undersigned participant, understand and acknowledge that participation in yoga, meditation, sound healing, reiki, excursions and retreat services ("the Activities") involves inherent risks, including but not limited to physical injury, emotional distress, and unforeseen events. In consideration of being allowed to participate in the Activities, I voluntarily agree to assume all risks and hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the organizers, instructors, leaders, and facility owners ("the Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any nature or description whatsoever which results from: (i) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or another/any member of your group; (ii) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the booking; (iii) unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances that may be sustained by me or any property belonging to me, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise, while participating in the Activities.

Code of Conduct:

I agree to abide by the principles of yoga and meditation, including respect for others, non-violence (ahimsa), and adherence to the guidelines and instructions provided by the instructors and leaders. All people travelling with us are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly and acceptable manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of other guests.

If you cause damage to the accommodation in which you are staying, you must fully reimburse the accommodation concerned for the cost of the damage before the end of your stay (if the cost has been established by then) or as soon as it has been established (if later). You must also indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (including all legal costs) made against us by the accommodation or any third party as a result.

We cannot be held responsible for the actions or behaviour of other guests on the retreat or on the property.

The persons in the booking shall, at all times, ensure that they take into account their personal safety whilst in destination so as not to put themselves or others at unnecessary risk including, without limitation, ensuring that they:
